EALA My Lakeside Dream

To go along with its unusual name, derived from the Celtic word for “swan,” EALA My Lakeside Dream styles itself an “adult-friendly” hotel — meaning this luxury hotel, on the shores of Lake Garda, is meant to convey a tranquil, private, and romantic atmosphere. Its terraced construction gives its suites plentiful private balcony space, and its minimalist, modernist-inspired interiors are nothing if not refined. Glass-walled bathrooms and/or in-room soaking tubs increase the intimacy, and the spa is a refuge for body and mind. Restaurants include the fine-dining Senso Lake Garda Alfio Ghezzi and the less formal Alfio Ghezzi Bistrot.
