The facility has long been cult, not only because of its unique history, but also because of its beautiful location and ever-evolving facilities. For its 135th birthday, the old castle underwent another makeover and was expanded with a brand new wellness area. The AQVA SPA 2.0 is THE new eye-catcher on Lake Garda.

Royal relaxation

On March 31, 2023, the Grand Hotel Fasano not only kicked off the summer season, but also celebrated the opening of the AQVA SPA 2.0. Since then, guests have been able to relax royally on 3,500 square meters.

The offer is divided into five areas, ranging from indoor and outdoor, sauna area and relaxation facilities to personal and individual treatments. In addition to a refreshing pool that connects the indoor and outdoor areas, the construction focused on new saunas. Guests have since been able to choose between the classic Finnish sauna and a Roman like herbal steam bath (Vitarium). In the Tepidarium, a hot relaxation room, you can come to rest wonderfully. If you want even more, choose one of the soothing treatments, for example from the list of Ayurvedic treatments. The Grand Hotel Fasano also offers beauty treatments. 

Lake Garda on your doorstep

No matter in which area of the Grand Hotel Fasano you stay, whether in the magnificent park, which is decorated with banana plants and Mediterranean flowers, or in the castle-like interior - the breathtakingly beautiful Lake Garda exudes its flair everywhere. No wonder, after all, the hotel stretches directly on the shore of the lake. Thanks to the private wooden walkway, you can put your feet in the cool water or take a few laps in a matter of seconds. From June to September, the water temperature is between 18 and 20 degrees Celsius, so wonderfully pleasant for a little swimming session. By the way, the beautiful Lake Garda panorama is visible from the spa and part of the rooms. While in the north of the lake you can still see the foothills of the Alps, in the south you can already guess the Mediterranean Sea. The mild sub-Mediterranean climate can be felt all year round.

Rustic romantic chic

Even though the Grand Hotel Fasano is located in the western part of Lake Garda and is therefore in the more Mediterranean zone, Alpine chic still finds its way into the design here and there. For example in the form of robust stone walls, wooden ceilings or rustic furniture. Basically, however, the Grand Hotel Fasano speaks a more romantic language when it comes to the interior, with ornate beds featuring floral details and baroque seating. The wall design with ornaments and golden details is also reminiscent of the hotel's history. 

Gourmet at its best

Italian specialties © provided

Not all Italian cuisine is the same - this becomes clear at the Grand Hotel Fasano. In the four restaurants, the traditional regional specialties play the main role, but they are implemented in a different way depending on the location. Original cooking is found in the Magnolia, in addition to Focaccia and Caprese various pasta and animal dishes come on the plate here. Similar to La Darsena, where tasty pizzas, pasta, meat and grilled fish are prepared. Fresh fish is also available at Il Pescatore. More experimental is Il Fagiano, where chef Maurizio Bufi brings together Mediterranean delicacies in a creative way.

A nightcap can be enjoyed in one of the hotel's two bars, the mystically cozy Gin Lounge or La Terrazza with a view of the lake.
