Chervo Golf San Vigilio
One of the Garda area's most complete golf resorts
Chervo Golf San Vigilio is one of the Garda area's most complete golf resorts, combining breadth of offer with a convincing sense of place. Centered around a historic Benedictine abbey, the property brings together golf, hospitality, spa facilities, dining and a carefully composed landscape that feels more substantial than a simple hotel-course pairing. The 27-hole layout adds genuine variety and makes the resort especially rewarding for multi-day stays, while the overall atmosphere caters to international guests who want high standards without the stiffness of more ceremonial clubs. The golf itself is not merely decorative: it asks for intelligent course management, solid driving and attention on and around the greens, particularly if you want to make the most of the different loop combinations. It is an excellent base for couples, groups and traveling golfers exploring Lake Garda while still expecting a serious sporting component. Its luxury feels generous, practical and well orchestrated rather than theatrical.

Exclusive Experiences
Secrets found in no guidebook, curated by our concierge.
Tenuta Ricchi — Vendemmia Notturna del Lugana
In Pozzolengo, at the heart of the Lugana DOC, the Bertagna family harvests Turbiana at night — between 2 and 6am — to preserve the grape's varietal aromas from oxidation. This practice, used by very few estates worldwide, produces a Lugana Superiore of extraordinary freshness.
“During harvest (late August–September) they accept two private guests for the night harvest. Includes dinner with the team, harvesting, and breakfast at sunrise in the vineyard. One-year waiting list, direct email booking only.”
Aquaria Thermal Spa — Acque Solfuree all'Alba
The Sirmione spa sits above one of Europe's rarest hydrothermal anomalies: the sulphurous Boiola springs, rising at 37°C directly from the lake bed at 10 metres depth. Aquaria's outdoor pools, overlooking the Sirmione peninsula, are among the world's most beautiful open-air thermal pools.
“The 'prima luce' entry at 7:30am is reserved for partner club guests. At that hour, the outdoor pools are empty and the morning mist creates an atmosphere found in no other Italian spa. Ask the Club concierge for the early access code.”
Grotte di Catullo — L'Alba sui Ruderi Romani
At the extreme tip of the Sirmione peninsula lie the ruins of northern Italy's largest Roman villa — attributed to the poet Catullus, 1st century BC — on a natural terrace dropping sheer to the lake with the Alps as backdrop. At dawn, the light strikes the Roman travertine exactly as Catullus himself would have seen it.
“The keeper opens the side gate at 6:30am on written email request at least 48 hours in advance. Maximum 6 people. The only way to see the Grotte without tourists in the horizontal dawn light.”
