View all offersWhen you arrive at the beautiful Relais Villa Porta you quickly see this is no lakeside chalet; this is a grand villa, largely unchanged, except of course for the installation of modern hotel comforts, since it was built in 1,700 as a grand hunting lodge. Its original owner had a passion for exotic plants, and surrounded his creation by a 10,000 square metre park, complete with tower and romantic waterfall and filled with rare plants from around the world.
There’s nothing as peaceful and relaxing as a glorious lakeside view, especially seen from the comfort of a double room decked out in soft lilac and purple, with grey marble tiles and a tranquillity that’s the essence of a rejuvenating holiday. You could be forgiven for doing nothing but gaze out at that view, either from your room, from a sunbed on the private beach, or from the restaurant terrace. But if you are more activity inclined, this is the place to be! The hotel is surrounded by trails for walkers and riders, whether horse-back or bike, tennis, golf, and all sorts of aquatic adventures, including, of course, swimming in the lake.
Dinner in the Tiffany restaurant is full of Italian cheer and a commitment to local ingredients such as trout straight from the lake, local dishes and, naturally, local wine. The Relais Villa Porta will give you an experience to savour for a long time to come.
