EALA My Lakeside Dream

EALA My Lakeside Dream is in via IV Novembre, outside the centre of Limone sul Garda, resting directly on the shore: the architecture steps down in terraces towards the water and every room looks at the lake head on, not sideways. Anyone who wants the village reaches it on foot or with the free house shuttle, on request.

There are sixty-two rooms and suites of contemporary design, all with a balcony or a wide terrace, some with a glazed bathroom and a tub. The name comes from Celtic and means swan. The restaurants are signed by Alfio Ghezzi, with the Senso Lake Garda fine dining room and the more informal bistro, and at the top there is a rooftop lounge bar. The property has been awarded two Michelin keys.

Fifteen hundred square metres of spa

Here the wellness area is not an accessory. There are three pools and two of them are indoors: the panoramic indoor one and the outdoor infinity pool are both heated to thirty-two degrees, so they work in winter too, and to these is added the multisensory Respiro del Garda tub at thirty-seven degrees. On the heat side, the Turkish bath is there in the form of a steam bath at forty degrees with very high humidity, next to the panoramic Finnish sauna and the gentler Mediterranean sauna. The circuit is completed by the Ice Room, the Kneipp, the sensory showers and the Water Paradise sensory route. There are indoor and outdoor relaxation areas with a view over the lake, a dedicated corner called Il Nido, the solarium, the pool bar, a Technogym gym and the list of massages and rituals.

All the rooms take only guests aged sixteen and over and there are no separate areas for families: the spa is reserved for adults by construction. Small and medium-sized dogs, up to 15 kilos, are allowed only in the Junior Suite Nemos, with a supplement of 25 euros a day, and they do not enter the spa, the Beach Grill or the beach.
