| The Arosio family have been welcoming guests to their friendly lakeside hotel since 1959. Endearingly old-fashioned, it seems to have changed little since. Downstairs, Persian rugs warm mosaic or tiled floors, and pictures jostle for space on the walls. Reception rooms and bedrooms are furnished with substantial antiques. Meals are accompanied by the sound of lapping water as the terrace and airy restaurant jut out into the lake. |

They Say...
The Hotel Du Lac has been in the Arosio family for two generations, and is set in a typical, elegant Nineteenth-Century lakeside house. Standing right at the water’s edge, it is one of Lake Garda’s smallest and most enchanting hotels.
It is located in the little village of Villa, in a splendid, peaceful position on the Mediterranean-like shores of Lake Garda, far from the noise and bustle of the main road, the strada statale Gardesana Occidentale. Surrounded by Lombardy’s alpine foothills, which are part of the parco naturale dell’Alto Garda Bresciano nature reserve, it looks across the lake at the spectacular Monte Baldo mountain range, in the Veneto region, which stands 2,200 meters tall, dominating the scene in all its magnificent splendour. The main façade, in Venetian red, overlooks the distinctive narrow main street, once known as “lakeside royal postal road", embellished with numerous bougainvilleas.
Just a stone’s throw away is the square of the little port, and Villa Igea, home to the English writer D. H. Lawrence during his stay on Lake Garda from October 1912 to May 1913. In addition to D. H. Lawrence, the Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio also chose these shores to build his museum-house, il Vittoriale, which can still be visited in Gardone Riviera.
Nowadays the Du Lac is a small hotel, almost a private house, full of atmosphere, peace and comfort, and it is the ideal spot for an absolutely relaxing stay, steeped in the gentle atmosphere of the lake, and cradled in our magical old-world charm.
