Villa Feltrinelli is a historic country property on the western shore of Lake Garda - in northern Italy - offering the highest possible hotel service for discerning traveller in search of beauty, graciousness and peace.
This is truly a secluded hideaway for the two of you. Dine anywhere you like, by the lake, in your suite, in the wine cellar or perhaps in the elegant dining room. We fell in love with this place the moment we saw it. They are closed November and December.
The Villa and its grand park were built in 1892 by the prominent Feltrinelli family and served as a summer escape. Since then the villa and its lakeside views have been admired by the statesmen and artists alike. Mussolini resided several years at the villa during World War II.
1997 Bob Burns, legendary hotelier and founder of Regent International Hotels, bought the villa, gave it new life and offers it today to demanding travellers worldwide. Design teams from around the globe were consulted about period features and stylistic coherence in the modernisation of the villa to give the visitor the best of both antique elegance and modern comfort. Mr Burns made it a labour of love restoring the villa and everything to the highest standards imaginable. No expense was spared to raise the standard of quality of restored furniture and of the smallest architectural details. The ville's Chef focuses his talent and creativity on the abundance of local products. The wine cellar abounds with both regional and some of Italy's most famous vintages.Click here to go to the Top Romantic Hotels. Web link to Villa Feltrinelli
