Bed & Breakfast//Hotel VIVERE suites and rooms

Holidays on Lake Garda – as soon as these three words are uttered, a series of Fellini-esque images quickly flash through your mind: driving along the lakeside road in a con­ver­tible with the top down, elegant sun­glasses, espressos in street cafés and admiring glances for a signorina strolling by in high heels. Ever­y­thing is in motion, ever­y­thing is visible, ever­y­thing is a bit like a stage.

Those who are not looking for hustle and bustle, for seeing and being seen — but rather for res­traint, con­cen­tration and a dif­ferent rhythm — will find what they are looking for at Vivere. A few kilo­metres away from the water lies a retreat that focuses not on effect, but on being — on vivere, in fact. Here, the focus is not on showing off your holiday, but on actually arriving.

On the out­skirts of the small town of Arco, five kilo­metres north of Lake Garda, nestled among vineyards and olive groves, lies the bou­tique design hotel Vivere. It is a place that defies any classic cate­go­ri­sation: too con­tem­porary for a tra­di­tional country hotel, too rooted in nature for a con­ven­tional design hotel. The archi­tecture fea­tures clean, modernist lines – a low building made of exposed con­crete, glass and warm wood that blends respectfully into the glacier-formed land­scape.

The design creates private, secluded outdoor areas and clearly struc­tured retreats. It’s not about prestige, but about quality of life: six intimate suites – four of which have kit­chenettes – open onto the sur­rounding vineyards through floor-to-ceiling windows. Each suite has its own ent­rance and private garden.

Privacy is a top priority here. Those who want maximum seclusion can prepare dinner in their own kitchen or follow one of the host’s recom­men­da­tions for authentic restau­rants in the region. There are also shel­tered retreats by the pool. And you can be con­fident that the other guests also app­re­ciate the dis­cretion of this estab­lishment.

Sus­taina­bility is not a deco­ration, but a foun­dation: geo­thermal energy, natural mate­rials and wine from the estate’s own vines in the afternoon – ever­y­thing comes tog­ether in a phi­lo­sophy where design and nature are not oppo­sites.
The Vivere shows that holidays on Lake Garda do not have to conform to clichés – and that la dolce vita finds its most beau­tiful form in refined tran­quillity.
