Today you are free to enjoy the surroundings of your hotel, or venture into Gardone. The town and lake front is a short walking distance from your hotel. Considered one of the most attractive towns on Lake Garda, it is a member of ‘The most beautiful villages in Italy’. Along the lakefront you will find restaurants, pavement cafes and shops to keep you occupied on this free day. Gardone ferry port is also within walking distance from your hotel, from here you can take a scheduled ferry to several resorts surrounding the lake.
Gardone is also house to the Vittoriale degli Italiani, a hillside estate museum which overlooks the lake. It is where the Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio lived until his death in 1938.
Explore the Veneto today with visits to two memorable towns.

Meals included: BWhat to expect from food and drink in Italian Hotels:
The cuisine that you will enjoy in Italy is based on the Mediterranean diet. It is often very simple with many dishes just featuring a handful of locally sourced ingredients.
Traditionally evening meals are served as a three-course dinner, with a choice of the second-course dish either decided in advance or on the evening, although some hotels will serve a buffet or accompanying salad buffet. As a group you will enjoy a set meal together.
The first course ‘Primi’ will be a local dish of pasta, risotto or occasionally pizza or soup, ‘Secondi’ is the second course which will be a protein-based dish with a local meat or fish served simply with one vegetable or potato on the side. Some food that is served hot in the UK, may be served cold in Italy, for example roast beef and some of those vegetable side dishes.
‘Dolci’ the dessert part of the dinner is a simple traditional dessert of fruit, cake or gelato.
Enjoying a coffee is a typical social activity in Italian culture. An electric kettle is not a common domestic appliance in Italy and therefore it is quite common for hotels to not offer coffee and tea facilities within the rooms, but instead serve in the main restaurant / bar.
The Mefuta Hotel represents the union between past and present. The hotel is located in Gardone Riviera, a stone's throw from the lakefront, the André Heller Foundation Botanical Garden and the Vittoriale degli Italiani, the ancient home of the Italian poet Gabriele D'Annunzio. The excellent location offers the right start for a relaxing holiday. On-site there is a restaurant, bar, swimming pool and terrace, plus a wellness area. Hotel rooms feature air-conditioning, TV, mini-bar, hairdryer and safe.
