Grand Hotel Fasano a stay in history

Amongst the most brilliant gems on Lake Garda’s Gardone Riviera is certainly the Grand Hotel Fasano. A five-star hotel for relaxing in the luxury of a historic home.

It was 1888: Italy had been unified as a nation for less than 30 years, the Lumière brothers were developing their cinema, the gramophone was born and in England the first national football (soccer) championship was inaugurated in the world. The Grand Hotel Fasano overlooked Lake Garda for the first time, mirrored in a stretch of water that has reflected moments, seasons and guests for a century and a half. The Grand Hotel Fasano stars in an authentic journey through time — three centuries that have changed, shaped and engraved the history of humanity. On the shores of Lake Garda this dwelling has seen the flow of water, and time. Faithful to the principles of luxury, exclusivity and elegance, the hotel is the idealistic pillar for a building that, with a 150-year slant, projects into the future. It is not simply a five-star residence overlooking Lake Garda. The Grand Hotel Fasano, with its elegant suites, gourmet restaurants and splendid view over one of the most envied Italian locations, expresses its maximum power in the details that make the structure a real pearl of the Gardone Riviera. Attention to detail is probably the real secret of this dwelling: specific consideration that convince, capture and amaze the guest. The indoor pool is connected through a swimmable tunnel to the outside pool.

The Grand Hotel Fasano’s wellness center is a secular temple of natural philosophy. Marble from the nearby quarries of Brescia, and wood are the main materials used inside this wellness center. Two types of suites are available at the Grand Hotel Fasano. Both stand out for their size and sumptuousness, as well as for the panoramic view of the lake that will keep you company throughout your stay. Deluxe, Superior, Comfort and Villa Principe are the other selections made available. Rooms to abandon oneself in, nestled between walls that have seen the passing centuries without ever being out of place or out of time. The food and wine offerings at the Grand Hotel Fasano are delightfully focused on variety. The main restaurant is the Magnolia while the gourmet il Fagiano serves on an outdoor terrace. Italian gastronomic tradition is the common thread stitching together the lake region’s traditional cuisine, escorting foreign guests to understanding the local flavors. At the Magnolia, characteristic national dishes are central, while at the gourmet il Fagiano more creative cuisine is orchestrated by chef Matteo Felter.
