A quiet corner of the Garda hills

Tucked away in the peaceful morainic hills of Lake Garda, Cavallina Retreat is an enchanting 25-hectare oasis where nature blends harmoniously with comfort and ease of access.

Just minutes from Affi and Bardolino, this green retreat is the ideal place to unplug from your routine and reconnect with your well-being, friends or family — surrounded by cherry trees, olive groves, donkeys, and birdsong.
