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
  • staff can seem indifferent
  • food gets mixed reviews
