Relaxing luxury

On Lake Garda, the Grand Hotel Fasano & Villa Principe expands and refurbishes its in-house spa to offer an even more exclusive and unforgettable experience of 5-star wellness, and a new contemporary look with the collection of the brand Ethimo

Ayurvedic treatments and wellness itineraries in collaboration with producers of the finest cosmetics. These are just some of the new features of AQVA SPA, the recently updated wellness center inside the Grand Hotel Fasano & Villa Principe in Gardone Riviera, on Lake Garda. Fifteen years after it was first opened, and for the 135th anniversary of the famous 5-star hotel,  the spa has gone through a major restyling based on the diversification of functions, improving privacy and quality of use, expanding the activities, treatments and services, also for guests who are not staying in the hotel.

The look is fresher, suggesting a new generation of atmospheres of wellbeing and absolute relaxation. The modern spirit is also boosted by the furnishings created by Ethimo, a company that specializes in the production of custom settings for the premium hospitality sector, on a national and international level, creating technical and refined outdoor furnishings using materials of the highest quality, including FSC certified teak.

The flexibility of the brand’s tailor-made solutions matches the concept of the entire project, in tune with the architecture and the history of the place and creating extremely welcoming spaces. The idea of sustainable design has been forcefully emphasized by the clients themselves.

For this reason, the interiors of the new guestrooms have been completed with some of the most iconic Ethimo collections, like the furnishings of the Swing line created together with Patrick Norguet, the Esedra lounge chairs designed by Luca Nichetto, or the eclectic Allaperto collection by Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez.
