Villa Cortine Palace Hotel, Sirmione, Lake Garda, Italy
Having dominated Lake Garda since first opening its doors
back in 1953, Villa Cortine Palace has been charming the socks off guests ever since.
Even the arrival is quite something: huge wrought-iron gates open up into the lovely
lakeside gardens, with lily-laden ponds, centuries-old trees and neoclassical
statues.
It’s a gorgeous spot to recharge with your significant other: the
indulgent 30s-style suites (we love those in the old Palladian Villa) and idyllic
lake views transport you back to a bygone era, and the activities (boat
charters, garden strolls, private dining, yoga, a swimming jetty and sunny pool)
just add even more magic to your stay.
