HOTELS & SPAS

For a touch of la dolce vita, head for the opulent 21-room Villa Feltrinelli by Lake Garda. Sheltered by olive, orange and cypress trees, the mansion offers a luxe retreat from the world. New for this summer are revamped menus by Stefano Baiocco (straight from Ferran Adrià’s famous El Bulli restaurant in Spain) at the villa’s Michelin-starred restaurant – salivate over gnocchetti with a stew of lobster, crustacean oil and lemon herbs. There is also a vintage riverboat to take trips across the lake and a restored 18th-century lemon grove, perfect for an outdoor massage. From £880 per night. +39 036 579 8000, villafeltrinelli.com
