My wife and I travel a lot but we realised earlier this year that we hadn’t had a holiday of pure relaxation since before the pandemic, so we decided it was time to plan one. We wanted good weather and the only time in our schedule that would work would be late August. That is the busiest time for tourism everywhere and we really didn’t want to be annoyed by children or noisy adult groups. So we started looking for adults-only hotels that might suit us and eventually found the Hotel Val di Sogno, which seemed ideal. Not only is it adults-only, but they don’t allow groups of more than six people, they don’t have wedding parties and don’t allow anyone who isn’t a guest to use their facilities, including the restaurant. I exchanged a few e-mails with Silvia who was very helpful in clarifying some details and so we went ahead and booked for a week. In summary, this hotel proved to be just perfect for the relaxing beak we wanted. It is located on a beautiful bay on Lake Garda, with views across to the mountains on the other side. It’s tranquil but not dead - you can sit and watch boats, windsurfers and stand-up paddle boarders coming and going and people swimming in the calm waters. The hotel and its grounds are right along the back of the beach, the restaurant looks straight out and all the rooms have this view too, so wherever you are you can enjoy the lovely setting. The hotel grounds are on two levels - a pool area, surrounding a large infinity-style pool with a swim-up bar, and a lower area along the back of the beach, with trees etc. In both areas there were plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas for shade. Our room had a very large balcony with chairs and a small table and of course the wonderful lake view. The room itself was spacious and attractively furnished, with a bathroom area with separate toilet and clothes storage hanging spaces. Even the bathroom enjoyed the views through a large window between it and the bedroom (which at the press of a button could magically become “frosted” for privacy). Unfortunately, perhaps because of the very warm weather, the air conditioning didn’t seem to be powerful enough to keep us comfortably cool at night. Another time we’ll probably leave the window open instead as we do at home. We decided to have dinner at the hotel on our first night and found it excellent. The menu is fairly limited but everything we tried was of a very high standard so we actually came back for every lunch and dinner that we could (they close it on Wednesday evenings). As there are plenty of tables there is never any shortage, so you don’t have to make reservations - you just show up, find a nice table and enjoy your meal. The breakfast buffet is truly impressive: as well some hot items, such as freshly prepared omelettes, there was a huge range of delicious breads, pastries and cereals (including several different types of muesli), meats, cheeses and fruit. Coffee is self-service from a machine but really excel
