Above the Lake: A Dream Stay at Cape of Senses

Lately, I’ve been trying to be more present here on the blog — even though I share a lot in real time on Instagram, I love taking a moment to reflect and write down the full experience for those of you who enjoy reading a bit more in‑depth. There's something special about revisiting beautiful moments, especially when they're as unforgettable as this one.

This time, I had the pleasure of staying at Cape of Senses — a dreamlike hideaway nestled above Lake Garda. The moment you arrive, you instantly feel the calmness of the place wrapping around you like a soft blanket. Think panoramic views, pure nature, and a sense of stillness that’s hard to put into words.

Cape of Senses is not just a hotel — it’s a full‑on sensorial experience. Designed to blend effortlessly with its surroundings, every detail is carefully curated to connect you with nature, yourself, and the beautiful scenery of Lago di Garda.

Our suite? A slice of heaven. Spacious, minimal yet warm, with floor‑to‑ceiling windows framing the lake like a moving painting. Waking up to that view is something I won’t forget anytime soon. The suites, from Junior to Deluxe (and then the more premium Sky Pool Suites) all offer luxury touches — big terraces, private spaces, natural materials, comfort, the works.

Of course, no wellness escape is complete without a spa — and the one at Cape of Senses is just out of this world. From the infinity pool overlooking the lake, to the herbal saunas, steam rooms, private treatment rooms, and even a “spa library & tea corner,” every space invites you to slow down. I had a massage that literally melted away every bit of stress (and probably a few deadlines too).

One of the highlights (always!) is the food. The fine‑dining restaurant at Cape of Senses is called Al Tramonto — sophisticated, refined, seasonal, with strong local flavours and a twist of creativity.

Dinner at Al Tramonto was unforgettable: exquisite presentation, menus that change with the seasons, surrounds that allow you to watch the sun set over the lake while you dine. Every bite felt intentional.

Another highlights of the trip was exploring Torri del Benaco, a charming little town just a few minutes away. It’s one of those places that feels untouched by time — narrow cobblestone streets, a picturesque harbor, and the kind of lakeside cafés where you can lose track of hours. Definitely worth a stroll, especially at sunset.

All in all, Cape of Senses was the perfect reset. The kind of stay that makes you want to cancel all plans and just be.

I’m so happy to share these moments with you here — I know I sometimes disappear into IG Stories, but I truly love connecting through the blog, where everything can slow down just a little bit more.

And next week… I’m already packing for an amazing trip to cities I’ve never been to before. Can’t wait to bring you along.

Until next time,
