But let’s not digress and return to the hotel for more of that kiss-perfect stay. Quite literally: the property’s restaurant — Al Bacio — stole our hearts with its stunning panoramic terrace and its menu, a loving tribute to local cuisine.

Certain places seem to possess a magical power, whisking you away from reality and transporting you to a parallel universe—one that is more beautiful, more elegant, more... perfect. Whether it's the fairytale-like charm, the storybook atmosphere, or that unapologetic beauty, the Boutique Hotel Villa Sostaga, an exclusive 5-star with a Spa in Gargnano, Lombardy shore of Lake Garda, truly belongs to this rare category. Everything—from the colours and furnishings to the attentive service, wellness treatments, and panoramic lakeside restaurant—invites guests to stay just a little longer. And let's be honest, the temptation to delay the departure is strong. After all, this villa doesn't play by the rules. The rooms still preserve precious details from the 19th century, when Count Giuseppe Feltrinelli decided that a hunting lodge set in 40 hectares of woodland was a pretty brilliant idea. Today, that garden with a pool and Jacuzzi is a delight for those seeking refuge from the chaos.
