Hotel Du Lac - Hotel in Lombardy
Via Colletta 21, 25084 Villa di Gargnano, Lake Garda, Brescia
Lombardy,
Italia
The hotel oozes old-style charm. A 1900s townhouse in a quieter, less touristy part of the lake, it's in the same street as the villa where DH Lawrence eulogised about the "milky lake" of Garda. The oxblood façade, with white relief and green shutters, is as striking as the view from the patio that overhangs the water.
The family could not be more helpful. Roomy bedrooms are wonderfully old-fashioned with big beds and wardrobes, 30s' lights and polished terrazzo floors; beds are deeply comfortable and dressed in crisp cotton. Six rooms look onto the lake and have small balconies. The main open terrace upstairs is a magical spot at night, the water lapping below, the lights twinkling in the distance. There's a small music room with a piano to play - guests sometimes do.
Breakfast is a feast, hot or cold, dinner is served at La Bissa with pasta and bread home made every day and grilled eel a speciality.

Local points of interest from Valerio Arosio:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Valerio Arosio:
- The most characteristic cultivation of our area was definitely the citrus grove. Since the XV Century monumental stone greenhouses were built around citrus trees planted in the ground. The citrus groves reached the peak in the middle of XIX Century.
- We like to promote knowledge of the natural beauty here on Lake Garda and support the conservation of its territory. One example of this is the restoration of our lemon greenhouse where every week we organize a walk to deepen the tradition of citrus.
- Did you know we produce our own extra vergin olive oil, lemon liqueur and bitter orange and lemon marmalades. Every week in our Hotel's historic cellar we organize wine tastings with wines from the Lake Garda area and various Italian regions.
- Did you know D.H. Lawrence lived here from September 1912 to April 1913 and wrote some chapters of Thwilight in Italy. In our Hotel you can visit an exhibition about Lawrence's stay in Gargnano. You can also follow an easy walk on D.H. Lawrence's tracks.
- Gargnano is in the center of Alto Garda natural park. From here you can make interesting walks to discover the natural beauties with unforgetable views on Lake Garda.
- Our "Lido dei Limoni" Beach & Bar is located only 200 metres far from our Hotel. Our guests will enjoy the rental of beach chairs, sun beds and beach umbrellas for free. Here is also possible to rent kayaks and Sup.
