Plan your visit to the restaurant Le Gardenie

Enjoy a memorable and richly sensorial experience, in the heart of an exceptional environment. Located by the pool, the belvedere of Villa Cortine offers breathtaking views of the lake and its world-famous sunsets. Adorned with candles and lanterns, the columns create a romantic and refined atmosphere, the perfect backdrop for enjoying local food and wine. A violinist is available to accompany this magical moment on request.

The chef at Le Gardenie explores the delicate nuances of Italian cuisine, with a focus on seasonal produce typical of the region. Its vegetarian menu combines a sense of indulgence with astonishing freshness, while the four-course ‘flavors of Lake Garda’ menu practically plunges you into its depths.

On the shores of Lake Garda, in a vast park populated with cypress trees, and where ancient statues emerge from ornamental pools or cascades of roses, Villa Cortine Palace is arguably the perfect example of Italian romanticism. Located just a few minutes from the medieval city of Sirmione, the elegant building retains its original, 19th-century charms: high colonnades, coffered ceilings, wall frescoes, marble floors and intricate marquetry. Amid these surroundings is cultivated an atmosphere of refinement and joyful conviviality. Discover it in the Mediterranean cuisine served beneath the golden decor of Le Gardenie restaurant, on the terraces of Al Molo restaurant, Maria Callas cocktail bar and bistro and Belvédère restaurant, and in the guest rooms which face the stunning blue mirror of the lake.
