Habsburg Heritage on Lake Garda

An Imperial Hunting Lodge Turned Lakeside Sanctuary

Enclosed in a 12,000-square-meter sub-tropical park flourishing with exotic palms, banana trees, and towering magnolias, Grand Hotel Fasano sits right at the water's edge on picturesque Lake Garda. Conceived in 1888 as an aristocratic residence and hunting retreat for the Austrian royal family (the Habsburgs), this historic palace has been thoughtfully preserved and family-managed by three generations of the Mayr family.

Today, Grand Hotel Fasano stands as an icon of northern Italian lakeside glamour and a distinguished member of The Leading Hotels of the World. Combining neoclassical grandeur with contemporary alpine-Mediterranean wellness, the resort features 80 luminous rooms and lake-facing suites, the One Michelin Star restaurant Il Fagiano by Chef Maurizio Bufi, and the Roman-inspired AQVA SPA with heated indoor and outdoor pools.

Private Beach Club & Boat Moorings

Guests enjoy direct waterfront access at La Darsena beach club, complete with private boat moorings, sunbathing lawns, wood-fired pizza, and private Riva boat excursions across Lake Garda.
