There was a time, back before the invention of air travel, when the lakes of northern Italy were the favored destination for Europeans of means. And even now, the fact that the flight to the Maldives is quicker than the coach ride from Vienna to Lake Garda has done nothing to diminish the intrinsic charms of the Gardone Riviera, still on display at the Hotel Villa del Sogno.

The villa itself stands on a terraced hillside above the shores of Lake Garda, and looks out over the lake and the surrounding valley, with stunning views from many of its 31 rooms and suites, and an incomparable one from the hotel’s terrace lounge. Inside the style is classic, fitting Lake Garda’s status as an old-world destination — you can get modern design in a million places in Italy, and there’s no need for it here.

Some of the better rooms and a couple of suites have their own private terraces, but they’re not a necessity — you can’t escape the view, and you’ll find yourself outside soaking in it much of the time. That is, when you’re not soaking in something else — either the Villa del Sogno’s swimming pool, or the whirlpool down in the lavish spa and wellness center.
