Heartfelt Hospitality Since 1925
OUR ESSENCE
Welcome to a place where Italian elegance meets family warmth. Here, between whispering olive trees and the gentle waves of the lake, we invite you to pause, breathe, and rediscover the luxury of time.
HOTEL GARDENIA AL LAGO
PRIME LAKEFRONT
Sleeping, relaxing, dining — all right on the water’s edge. Nestled in Villa di Gargnano on Lake Garda’s western shore, Hotel Gardenia al Lago is a unique lakefront hotel offering peace and privacy.
Wake up to gentle waves, enjoy breakfast by the shore, and relax in our private garden as sailing boats drift past Monte Baldo.
FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS
A HOME MADE TO WELCOME
Since 1925, the Arosios have welcomed guests to Lake Garda. What began as a private holiday home is now Hotel Gardenia al Lago, a peaceful retreat far from hotel chains.
Every corner tells a story: chairs in the same spot for over a century, family pictures on the walls, all combined with modern touches.
OUR PASSION
LIVING ITALIAN HERITAGE
For the Arosios, quality matters more than quantity, and tradition outweighs fleeting trends. Their respect for the region shows in everything they do—from restoring their historic limonaia and crafting wine as generations ago, to preserving GALEOTTO II, one of Lake Garda’s oldest sailing boats.
