Place of longing on Lake Garda

Kitzbühel | Issue 53 | Summer 2023

Torri del Benaco numbers among the most beautiful lakeside communities, with 3000 inhabitants, idylically situated apart from mass tourism. In July, on a spectacular sun terrace in the town district of Albisano, an exclusive hideaway known as Cape of Senses will be opened, with spectacular views of the lake and luxurious Italy-feeling. Right where the lake view is most beautiful lies a luxurious adults-only boutique hotel with only 55 suites for guests older than 14.

The hotel bears the signature of illustrious South Tirolean architects Hugo and Alessia Demetz. In all imaginable ways, Cape of Senses stands for a harmonious merging of hotel and nature, including unforgettable views of Lake Garda, just 200 metres lower down, spread over a surface area of 15,000 m². This exclusive hideaway has a bar, a restaurant and an “Osteria” – the Italian term for a simple eatery. Breakfast and lunch are served on the rooftop terrace surrounded by olive trees. The hotel’s own herb garden provides the freshest
of elements to the kitchen which, combined with other regional products from the nearby vicinity, bring culinary dolce vita to the table. Also the wine list is dedicated to the richness of the Italian wine landscape.

The impressive spa wows its visitors with seven treatment rooms and a wide-ranging sauna landscape. In the large garden are quiet zones and lounge chairs, a 25-metre sports swimming pool and a yoga platform for relaxation and exercises. The luxury hotel in the lap of nature extends over three floors. Large window fronts at the entrance and bar areas literally bring the outdoors into the house. Old olive trees and magnificent Mediterranean vegetation spread over the entire property. All zones have views of the lake and enrapture the senses. This is Italia feeling deluxe.
