For moments of pure fun, we also recommend the theme parks of Gardaland, Caneva World, Movieland and Jungle Adventure Park.

YES ✔ The Val di Sogno® is situated directly on the lake shore. No roads in between, just a few steps adjoining the terrace and hotel outdoor area and you are already at the beach. In the township of Malcesine beaches are public property, so there is no private beach.
Please note that the beach on the lakeshore is made of pebbles, not sand.
From the very beginning, Val di Sogno® has been a family project with a single purpose: to welcome people and make them feel good. Over time, our concept of a hotel has become more and more defined, leading us to where we are today: to be an Adults Only Hotel, a suitable place for those seeking serenity and peace in a comfortable and exclusive environment. Every service, every project and detail of the Val di Sogno® is designed to contribute to the guest's happiness by offering them peace and intimacy, absolute comfort and relaxation.
NO ✘ We love children and their spontaneous verve, but we are aware that in an environment like ours, where there is peace and quiet, they would not be comfortable. For this reason, in 2020 we decided to become an Adults Only hotel and therefore we are not able to meet the demands of families with infants, children and/or young people under the age of 16.
Val di Sogno® is a small resort for short or long stays dedicated to tranquillity and comfort.
In recent years, we have frequently heard from guests and friends that this is a unique place, full of charm on a manageable and livable scale.
To continue on this path, after long reflections, aware that we cannot satisfy everyone, we have made the decision to put those who book a stay at Val di Sogno® first and give them the prerogative and privilege of experiencing all the well-being and the charm of our place.
For this reason, the rooms and all the services of our hotel are reserved exclusively for those who stay there, and only during the period of their stay they can access Val di Sogno® to enjoy the quiet of this place in complete serenity and privacy.
NO ✔ We are not the right place to host groups neither for for stays, nor for celebrations such as birthdays, anniversaries, hen/stag parties or weddings.
One of our strengths and a valid reason for choosing among the excellent hotels on Lake Garda is the particular serenity and tranquillity of the environment found here in Val di Sogno®.
A group of people who celebrate a special occasion would create confusion and take away harmony and serenity from the usual atmosphere that dominates our structure. Therefore, we do not organize weddings or events, business or party dinners or lunches, and we do not accept groups.
Our hotel is mainly structured for a relaxing stay for two.
NO ✘ At Val di Sogno® all common areas, rooms, junior suites and suites are strictly "no smoking". It is requested not to smoke in the room, in the corridors and in the common areas (including the terrace) as per current Italian regulations.

Beneficial to combat stress and daily anxieties, yoga helps us to regain our psycho/physical balance. Harmoniously combining mind and body is the main goal of this discipline.
The lesson begins with concentration on breathing (deeply and slowly), then we move on to the more "physical" practice with asanas and vinyasana (postures and sequences of postures) followed by a variety of pranayamas (prana = vital energy; yama = control and ayama = expansion). The lesson concludes with the practice of yoga nidra (final guided relaxation).
