The experience

An extraordinary home filled with imagination, gardens overlooking Lake Garda and the pleasure of a lakeside stroll — discover two distinctive sides of the western shore. With your private guide and driver, explore the Vittoriale degli Italiani before enjoying the atmosphere of Salò.

At Gardone Riviera, enter the world of poet Gabriele d’Annunzio. His former home and monumental estate reveal an intensely personal vision, where art, collections and unexpected details invite curiosity at every turn.

Explore the gardens and monuments with your guide, then discover the richly furnished interiors of the Prioria on a visit led by the Vittoriale’s own staff. Objects, symbols and intimate spaces offer a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of Italy’s most unconventional cultural figures.

Continue to Salò, where an elegant waterfront and inviting streets offer a different pleasure. Enjoy time to browse boutiques, pause by the lake and savour a refreshing Cedrata Tassoni, the distinctive citron-flavoured soft drink. Return to your starting point after a discovery of artistic imagination and Italian lakeside life.
