Alea Garda Lake Suite

Humans have been enthralled by Lake Garda since 300 BC, when it became part of the Roman Empire. Since then, it has been subject to endless shifts in power and borne witness to numerous battles and conflicts. In the last century, recognition of its natural beauty came to supersede its importance as a strategic location, and it transformed into a popular destination for Italian holidaymakers and international tourists alike. It is a truly breath-taking landscape, magically combining the charms of the Alps with the climate, flora and fauna of the Mediterranean.

The Alea Garda Lake Suite is a luxury B&B that sits at the northern end of the lake, famous for water sports thanks to its favourable winds. This brand-new property has a beautiful contemporary design that subtly nods to the geometry of sixties modernism, and, like the area itself, bridges together Alpine and Mediterranean aesthetics. Rooms are elegant and minimal, with a superb, high-quality finish. The light oak-wood parquet flooring inspires soft accents of similar textures in the otherwise white space, evoking a tranquil atmosphere. The balcony/garden doors, which open out onto gorgeous vistas of the surrounding mountainside, soak the room in natural light. Expect all the amenities you need, including a Smart TV, Wi-Fi and minibar.

Sip on an aperitif at the Alea Garda Lake Suite’s bar, or take your drink out to the garden and marvel at the dramatic mountains encircling the area. Vineyards and olive groves are caressed by the warm winds of the lake, and the property feels in perfect harmony with this gentle ambience. Not far from the centre of Arco, there’s a number of excellent restaurants nearby, all living up to the region’s reputation for gastronomy. Ideal for hiking, rock-climbing, bike excursions, or water sports on the lake. If that’s not your style, relax by the infinity pool and while away the hours in this blissful, historic location.
