Fodor's Expert Review Grand Hotel Fasano
Corso Zanardelli 190, Gardone Riviera, Lombardy, 25083, Italy Fodor's Choice
Used as a hunting lodge in the 19th century, the Fasano has matured into a seasonal hotel with high standards, opulent rooms, and many amenities—including an Aveda Destination Spa and a well-regarded restaurant, Il Fagiano, in addition to three more casual eateries (one a short walk away). There are also two golf courses in the vicinity. To one side you face the deep waters of Lake Garda; on the others you're surrounded by a 31,080-square-km (12,000-square-mile) private park where the original Austrian owners no doubt spent their days chasing game.
PROS
- exquisitely stylish rooms
- relaxing surroundings
- gorgeous spa
CONS
- not all rooms have lake views
