We Love
- The glass-walled lounge — floor-to-ceiling windows pour the evening light over the fireplace, and the bar mixes its own cocktails from local craft spirits rather than the big brands.
- The 14-by-7-metre pool — solar-heated for proper spring and autumn swimming, with drink service to the sunbeds, a Silence Mode, and the putting green across the lawn.
- The 70 m² spa — Finnish sauna, Turkish bath and emotional shower with herbal teas and fruit between rounds; note it runs textile-free, in the Alpine manner.
- The kitchen garden on the plate — all-day dishes and homemade cakes from Mamma Dani, the house's own extra virgin olive oil, and tastings with small Garda and Valpolicella producers.
- The position — Marciaga's quiet hills with Garda town and the lake a few minutes below, the Cà degli Ulivi golf course a kilometre away, and cycling routes from the door.

Expert Review
Origins
Relais Rossar began as the family's riding stables, and the owners learned the property the way children do: Camilla and Marta rode horses here long before they ran a hotel. The family, Veronese, bought the land in 2007; in 2014 the sisters — Camilla, an interior designer, born in 1988, and Marta, a graphic and creative designer, two years younger — converted the stables into the retreat they wanted to exist, keeping the design rooted in the building's history and the village around it.
The result wears its two trades openly. Camilla's interiors run warm and exact — neutral tones, parquet, family antiques and pictures among the new pieces — while Marta's eye shapes the rest, down to the little cinema corner in the stube screening films in their original language. The stube itself shelters relics of grandmother Carlina's old Verona grocery, so the family history sits in the room rather than on a plaque. Ten thousand square metres of garden surround it all: willows, lemons, rosemary, fruit trees and the vegetable patch that feeds the kitchen, with the house pressing its own olive oil.
It works the way the sisters intended. More than half the guests are returners, drawn back by a formula the big lakeshore hotels can't copy: twenty rooms, two owners always in the building, golf a kilometre away, the lake a stroll below, and the particular calm of a place built by people who grew up on it.
Top Secret
The bar's cocktails are the house's own inventions, built on local ingredients and craft spirits rather than the big brands — start with the Relais Rossar Spritz. And the mattresses have a reputation: set an alarm, or Mamma Dani's homemade cakes will be gone from the breakfast buffet before you surface.
The Review
Rossar is the antidote to the lakeshore. Three kilometres uphill from Garda's crowds, the converted stables sit in their gardens among willows and lemon trees, and the first impression is of quiet competence: neutral tones, warm wood, glass walls framing the hills. One of the sisters is usually somewhere in the building, which explains the rest — this is hospitality run by owners, and guests respond by coming back; one stayed two months and took to appearing for evening drinks in dressing gown and slippers, entirely correctly.
Days organise themselves around the grounds. The solar-heated pool earns its keep from spring well into autumn, with drinks to the sunbed and a Silence Mode when the day calls for it; the putting green settles arguments before aperitivo; cyclists and golfers treat the house as base camp, with the Cà degli Ulivi course a kilometre off and serious bike facilities in the back. The little spa does the recovery — sauna, steam, emotional shower, herbal teas — and the massage suite finishes the job.
Evenings gather at the glass-walled lounge, where the fireplace and the house cocktails do their work, and the Kitch&Bar sends out fresh, unfussy plates from the kitchen garden. Dinner can be a tasting in the Grande Bottiglia Verde cellar with a local producer, or a recommendation down the hill — the hosts will talk through every glass on the list either way. It is a small, personal, exactly judged place; the lake is close enough to visit and far enough to forget.
