  • Situated in Gardone Riviera with stunning lake views
  • Charming 20th century hotel set amid its own secluded gardens

The charming 20th century Hotel Villa del Sogno is set in its own secluded grounds and is attractively styled with traditional antique furnishings.

Reached by a steep private road in the park from the lakeside, the Hotel Villa del Sogno’s features include a beautiful terrace, which commands stunning views of the lake, plus a swimming pool and tennis court located in its gardens.

Built in 1904 by the German silk industrialist Maximilian Heydweiller in a Neo-classical style, the Hotel Villa del Sogno’s guestrooms are uniquely decorated in a classical manner that quietly blends in modern comforts.

Fasano, the nearest village to the hotel, is only a five minute walk away with steps from the hotel gardens leading to the lakeside road, while the centre of Gardone Riviera is a 20-minute stroll away.

Due to its elevated position on a hillside with numerous steps, this hotel is not suitable for guests with walking difficulties.

The hotel has 32 rooms (official rating 5 star) Citalia does not accept children at this hotel, however this is not an adult-only property. Minimum stay 2 nights.

About the location

Gardone is an elegant resort on the west banks of Lake Garda. This peaceful town boasts a lovely lakeside promenade, bordered by immaculate flowerbeds and lined with charming cafes and trattorie. Spend your afternoons on one of the many benches that line the promenade, watching the world go by with a latte or cappuccino. 

A short walk uphill from the lake will take you to Gardone Sopra, the historic centre. Here, you’ll find the eccentric II Vittoriale, a complex of squares, gardens and water features with some of the town’s best views over the lake. Nearby, the botanic Heller Gardens – one of the leading attractions in Lake Garda – are waiting to be explored. Established between 1910 and 1971, the gardens showcase exotic plants and species from around the world, with fountains and works of modern art dotted between the greenery.

For those wanting to explore further, a regular ferry service will take you to Lake Garda’s eastern towns, and it’s also possible to visit other west-shore resorts by bus.

Transfer Time

The hotel is 1 hour 15 minutes from Verona. Return private transfers included. To change your transfers or book car hire instead, simply call us once you’ve completed your booking.
