A little further on, after about a quarter of an hour’s drive, you’ll come across Castellaro Lagusello, a small jewel guarded by medieval walls. Its heart-shaped lake is the symbol of this village, and walking along its shores, listening to the rustling of reeds and the distant tolling of bells, is a moment that fills the soul with peace. Castellaro is a suspended place, inviting you to slow down and enjoy the simple beauty of a stroll among the stone houses.
Finally, about twenty minutes from the hotels, you reach Solferino, a place that combines history and poetry. Here, the stones tell the story of the great battle of 1859 for the unification of Italy (the famous clash between San Martino and Solferino), but simply climbing to the Rocca (fortress) is enough to find yourself surrounded by a breathtaking panorama. From above, the gaze sweeps across the moraine hills, the tidy vineyards, and, on clear days, all the way to the distant mountain profile. It’s a vantage point from which to truly sense the grandeur and harmony of this land.
Starting from the Lugana Parco al Lago Hotel and the Wine Hotel, these villages can be intertwined in an itinerary that offers emotions at every stop: in the morning, among the vineyards of Pozzolengo, in the afternoon strolling among the walls and hidden lakes of Castellaro and Solferino, and finally in the evening, enveloped in the magic of Borghetto, before returning to the hotel, with the colors of the sunset still in our eyes and the memory of a special day in our hearts.
