Villa Cordevigo Relais & Chateaux nestled in the hills of Bardolino on Lake Garda, has opened two new suites, the Astolfo and the Gaudenzia, named after two former owners of the complex. The interior design is by Tiziano Delibori, owner of the Relais together with Franco Cristoforetti and Lorenza Delibori.
"Our choices - explained Lorenza Delibori – with regard to the furnishings and fabrics were made to create an elegant and classic environment, in which the fine craftsmanship of our artists, carvers, decorators, painters and upholsterers gives the rooms the feeling of being in a timeless place.”
The fireplaces are the work of local artisans
The suites of Villa Cordevigo Relais & Chateaux consist of an entrance hall, a sitting room with a handsome central fireplace, a bedroom and a large bathroom. The floor in Venetian seminato recalls the flooring of Venice’s noble palaces and the parapet and the handrail of the solid oak staircase, as well as the fireplaces and the marble finishes, are the work of local artisans.
The Michelin-starred Oseleta restaurant is helmed by Chef Marco Marras
The 18th-century Venetian villa, a 5-star luxury residence on a 100-hectare estate in the Bardolino area, has 40 rooms and suites and a spa. With a long cypress-lined avenue, an Italian garden and the original Renaissance manor house, the Relais is set in a vast park of secular trees, cypresses, plane trees and horse chestnuts and there is an excellent wine list in the Michelin-starred Oseleta restaurant, helmed by Chef Marco Marras.
