We Love
- The setting itself — 70,000 m² of protected oasis where over 200 bird species rest and nest, with the purple heron that named the restaurant stalking the reed beds outside breakfast.
- Two pools above the lake — one an infinity edge over the water, with Il Tuffetto grilling and shaking cocktails at the poolside all summer, and a corner of the pool area set aside for the dogs.
- 92 rooms across five buildings — antiques and beams in the Villa, Cascina, Fienile and Limonaie; larch-clad Belvedere Suites under living sedum roofs, some with private sauna and hot tub on the balcony.
- The house wine, L'Ontano — grown without pesticides among the oasis's century-old trees and certified Biodiversity Friend; a bottle of the estate's Lugana has been known to greet arriving guests.
- A double UNESCO address — Bronze Age pile-dwelling villages lie preserved beneath Lake Frassino, and Peschiera's Venetian fortress walls stand ten minutes away, with a free shuttle between.

Origins
Lake Frassino is the rarest kind of address: a small glacial lake of eighty hectares behind Garda's southern shore, ringed by reed beds and wet meadows, protected within Europe's Natura 2000 network as a resting ground for more than two hundred bird species — and inscribed by UNESCO for what lies beneath, the preserved remains of Bronze Age pile-dwelling villages whose artefacts now sit in Verona's natural history museum. People have lived on this water for three thousand years. The resort is merely the latest arrangement.
Its bones are agricultural and Liberty-era: an early-twentieth-century villa with its original lemon houses, hay barn and farmhouse, restored at length by the Veronese family behind a group of restaurants along Garda's southern shore, and opened as a resort in 2014. Five buildings now hold 92 rooms, each decorated with the oasis's own flora and fauna; the newest, the Belvedere Suites, are built of larch under living sedum roofs that disappear into the reserve. Even the restaurants take their names from the residents — Ardea Purpurea for the purple heron, Il Tuffetto for the little grebe.
The environmental conviction runs to paperwork and pruning alike: an ESG certification path already rated, meadows mown alternately so the pollinators keep their share, bat boxes in the old trees, and L'Ontano, the house wine, grown without pesticides among the oasis's century-old willows and wild pears, certified Biodiversity Friend. The vines thread between protected trees because the trees were there first — which is the whole philosophy in one image.
Top Secret
Drive the western shore for the day: cliffside vistas, a swim in the lake, and the Heller garden at Gardone — a botanical sculpture park where Lichtenstein and Haring hide among the foliage. Back at base, ask about Floreali, the family's flower-filled cocktail bar inside Peschiera's old Officers' Pavilion: mixology by bouquet, open till late.
The Review
The approach gives nothing away — three kilometres off the motorway, a lane past the Lugana vines — and then the reserve closes around you: reeds, water, herons, and five low buildings that have clearly been here far longer than the word resort. Rooms divide by temperament. The Villa, Cascina, Fienile and Limonaie keep beams, antiques and the old proportions; the Belvedere Suites answer with larch walls, green roofs and, in the best of them, a private sauna and hot tub on the balcony with the lake below.
Days settle into the water-and-table rhythm the place is built for. The two pools hang above the lake — claim the infinity edge early — while Il Tuffetto handles lunch, juices and the essential sundowner a few steps away, and the dogs hold their own corner of the pool garden. Walkers and joggers take the reserve paths among the willows; e-bikes reach Peschiera's walls and the wine villages; the spa runs its circuit of saunas, double Turkish baths and panoramic whirlpools, and can be booked entirely for two.
Dinner belongs to Ardea Purpurea, in the villa with its dining room suspended over the water: pumpkin tortelloni with butter and sage, lobster linguine, gourmet pizzas on stone-ground flour, and the estate's own Lugana in the glass. Afterwards, the oasis does the entertainment — birdsong, dark water, three thousand years of quiet. The hotel calls itself the Nature's Way resort; for the southern lake, it is simply the natural pick.
