It is located in the little village
of Villa, in a splendid, peaceful position on the
Mediterranean-like shores of Lake Garda, far from
the noise and bustle of the main road, the strada
statale Gardesana Occidentale. Surrounded by Lombardy’s
alpine foothills, which are part of the parco naturale
dell’Alto Garda Bresciano nature reserve, it looks
across the lake at the spectacular Monte Baldo mountain
range, in the Veneto region, which stands 2,200 meters
tall, dominating the scene in all its magnificent
splendour. The main façade, in Venetian red, overlooks
the distinctive narrow main street, once known as
“lakeside royal postal road", embellished with numerous
bougainvilleas.
Just a stone’s throw away is the square of the little
port, and Villa Igea, home to the English writer D.
H. Lawrence during his stay on Lake Garda from October
1912 to May 1913. In addition to D. H. Lawrence, the
Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio also chose these
shores to build his museum-house, il Vittoriale, which
can still be visited in Gardone Riviera.
Nowadays the Du Lac is a small hotel, almost a private
house, full of atmosphere, peace and comfort, and
it is the ideal spot for an absolutely relaxing stay,
steeped in the gentle atmosphere of the lake, and
cradled in our magical old-world charm.
