What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
The shores of Lake Garda are home to more than a few luxury hotels, but Cape of Senses ascends to new heights.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched eight hundred feet above Torri del Benaco, the hillside setting keeps the bustle of Lake Garda's shoreline at a serene distance.
The rooms
Every suite opens onto private lake-facing terraces through floor-to-ceiling glass, with select suites offering private rooftop plunge pools.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated indoor-outdoor pool flows onto the hillside, set alongside a timber-decked sports lap pool.
The spa
Treatment rooms look onto olive groves and lawns, offering botanical therapies and regional herbal compress massages.
The Finnish sauna
Tiered timber benches inside the panorama sauna look through floor-to-ceiling glass across the olive groves.
Restaurant
Osteria La Pergola
Under a shaded pergola, outdoor tables look across Lake Garda over plates of handmade pasta and lake fish.
Restaurant Al Tramonto
Sunset dinners unfold on the rooftop terrace, serving modern Mediterranean courses against sweeping lake panoramas.
How it began
The South Tyrolean Margesin family built this hillside retreat in 2023, terracing curved modern stone structures directly into the natural slope.
