N. Italy: Lombardy: Carzago di Calvagese della Riviera (Brescia)
There is something for everyone at Palazzo Arzaga! This five-star property, nestled amongst rolling hills at the southwest side of Lake Garda, is situated on a 356 acres nature reserve and has 84 rooms and suites, outdoor pool, fitness center, spa, two restaurants, bar and wedding and meeting facilities. Opened in 1999, this 15th century villa turned hotel has warm interiors that preserve much of the villa's past - original wood beamed ceilings, period furniture, fireplaces and two frescoed accommodations.

The award winning SPA, recognized by Condè Nast Traveler as one of Italy's best spas, has a large variety of treatments and services with packages ranging from one day to one week, all which can be personalized.

The region surrounding Lake Garda is renowned for wineries in areas such as Lugana, Valpolicella and Franciacorta, just to name a few. Also nearby are two of Italy's best golf courses, an 18 hole resort championship course by Jack Nicklaus II and a 9 hole inland links course conceived by Gary Player.

Palazzo Arzaga is an ideal base from which to explore the neighboring towns. Just half an hour's drive away are the beautiful medieval towns of Verona, the vibrant commercial center of Brescia, and Milan can be reached within 1 1/2 hours by car or train.
