Villa Cortine Palace Hotel’s 54 exquisitely appointed rooms and
suits are just a five minute walk from Scaliger Castle and the
Sirmione’s historic quarter. Its original structure, a villa was built in
the late 1890’s. A splendid example of 19th century neoclassical
architecture, it features an elegant portico-façade supported by
massive columns. In 1952, an extensive wing was added and in
1953, Villa Cortine Palace Hotel opened its doors.
Located in Northern Italy, Le Gardenie and
Terrazza Belvedere are the pride and joy of the
exclusive Villa Cortine Palace Hotel, which is
situated in a secluded 10 acre hillside garden
overlooking Lake Garda and Sirmione Old
Town. A five star boutique hotel, Villa Cortine
Palace Hotel is one of Sirmione’s most
luxurious hotels, known for its relaxing
atmosphere, high standard of service and
comfort — and its culinary delights at Le
Gardenie and Terrazza Belvedere.
At the posh Le Gardenie, guests enjoy
beautifully presented Italian and international
cuisine paired with excellent wines from the
region and beyond. Seating includes intimate
private dining rooms and the lake view terrace
outside. For romantic starlit dinners, there’s
nowhere quite like Villa Cortine’s rooftop
restaurant, Terrazza Belvedere and the hotel’s
banquet hall, Salone Due Laghi is the perfect
venue for large gatherings of up to 200 guests,
whether a business meeting, gala event or
lavish wedding.
The hotel’s culinary staff is legendary.
Gastronomic delights include starters like
Tuna Tartare with Italian Caviar and Marinated
Fruits, Escargot Au Gratin, and Smoked Trout
