What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Il Mansio strives for good health and ethical luxury in every aspect of the experience.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Rivoltella's historic center sits at the foot of an eighth-century Lombard tower, just a short walk from the lake.
The rooms
Three of the six rooms open onto terraces with heated hydromassage tubs, and one adds an outdoor fireplace.
The spa and gym
The mirrored gym has a curved wood treadmill, and the private spa holds a Finnish sauna and chromotherapy shower.
Restaurant
Ristorante Il Mansio
Chef Veronica Lora serves plant-based regional menus, from house-aged nut cheeses to fresh tagliolini with Garda olive oil.
At the table
The ground-floor bar pours botanical aperitivi, mixing cocktails with local gin, fresh sage, and Cedrata Tassoni.
How it began
The building was a village carpentry workshop, left shuttered for thirty years before the local Mori family restored it.
