Villa Golden Suite - Bardolino Verona

A few kilometers from Lake Garda, on gentle vine‑clad slopes, the entrance to Villa Cordevigo, home to L’Oseleta, makes a grand impression as it opens between two rows of cypress trees. Inside are two intimate dining rooms, but the best tables are in the elegant veranda with wide glass windows, where views of the gardens and pool create a charming atmosphere, made even more delightful by impeccable service. Chef Marco Marras conducts with finesse a menu that ranges across seafood, vegetarian, lake‑inspired, and meat dishes, all presented with near‑surgical precision and refined theatrical flai

The ideal starting point for an exploration of the area. In summer one dines on the terrace located in the heart of the historic centre while drinks and cigars may be enjoyed in the lounge bar.

This well-kept, welcoming restaurant with a colourful decor and wine bottles adorning the walls serves imaginative dishes with modern combinations – our inspector particularly enjoyed the guinea fowl supreme with smoked black tea, carrots and beluga lentils. The well-chosen wine list features labels from Italy and further afield.

Situated just a stone’s throw from the lakefront, this elegant gourmet restaurant in the Regina Adelaide hotel boasts an attractive English-style garden, as well as a beautiful outdoor patio and stylish dining room. The two tasting menus served here (one of which is vegetarian) showcase the traditions of Lake Garda and its surrounding region with a creative twist using vegetables from the property’s own kitchen garden and a focus on seasonal ingredients. There’s also an extensive wine list.
