Villa Feltrinelli: The Ultimate Lake Garda Honeymoon Resort
09/08/2007 08:09 a.m.
Lake Garda is nestled into an Alpine valley just northwest of Milan and is definitely a world apart. Due to its fortuitous geography, the lake avoids the persistent chilly pea soup fogs which mar the Padana valley and enjoys a Mediterranean climate similar to that of the coastal cities further south.
Fragrant with the aromas of the citrus trees that grow along its fabled shores, Lake Garda is a superlative Honeymoon destination, and of all the opulent accommodations that are available on both sides of this long "finger" lake, Villa Feltrinelli has to be the ultimate hotel for romantic couples. Your travel agent can tell you all about this ultra-luxury resort which is on the list of the finest honeymoon locations on Earth.
Set on the western shore of Lake Garda, Villa Feltrinelli is a historic country property with an immense, meticulously landscaped park built in 1892 as a summer escape by the prominent Feltrinelli family. For more than a century, the villa and its stupendous lakeside views have been enjoyed by artists and statesmen alike. Villa Feltrinelli was Mussolini's personal residence for several years during World War II, and il Duce was definitely a man who enjoyed the very best!
Villa Feltrinelli is fresh from a massive renovation which has fully restored the glories of the original 19th century design. No expense was spared to return to the original standard of quality in every aspect of the Villa from the smallest architectural details to the loving restoration of the priceless classic furnishings.
The gentility of an age long gone blends with the sophisticated expectations of the modern visitor from the rustic elegance of the rooms in the various buildings in the park, to the grand style of the more formal guestrooms and suites in the villa itself. Honeymooners will find an enthralling pampering of the senses as each expansive guestroom features fresco ceilings hand painted in the 1890's by the Lieti brothers, and 500 square foot bathrooms featuring heated marble floors, separate showers with high, oversized nickel-plated "deluge" heads by Lefroy-Brooks of London, and separate deep soaking Jacob Delafon cast-iron French porcelain bathtubs.
The historical park with century old olive grove and tiered lemon garden has been meticulously restored to be a foremost exemplar of the classic Italian garden style. The grey-green granite tiled swimming pool, blends into the landscape as a cool, inviting garden feature. The luxuriant and secluded library also serves as the villa's screening theatre, as the custom-designed furniture slides back to reveal the latest and finest audiovisual technology.
Villa Feltrinelli offers the highest possible level of service, luxury and sublime dining for the discerning honeymooning couple in search of beauty, graciousness and peace in a palatial hotel setting which is beyond 5, 6, or 7 stars. Needless to say, this level of magnificence does not come cheap, as your travel agent can inform you that suites run close to $5,000 per night, but it's your honeymoon so it's definitely no time to count pennies!
