PB hotel design editorial

Perched on the hillside above Torri del Benaco on Lake Garda's eastern shore, where olive groves step down toward one of Italy's most light-saturated stretches of water, Cape of Senses sets its low-slung contemporary mass against a panorama that has drawn northern European travelers since the Grand Tour. The building's architecture — tiered terraces, deep overhanging roof lines, and a facade articulated by warm timber screens — keeps deliberate company with the agricultural landscape rather than competing with it, the structure stepping down the gradient in a rhythm that recalls traditional dry-stone terracing. Inside, the interiors work a restrained palette of bleached oak flooring, textured plaster walls in warm sand tones, and perforated metal headboard panels that lend the guest rooms a quietly industrial counterpoint to all that natural softness. The restaurant dining room pairs large-format stone-effect floor tiles with arched timber screens and full-height glazing that frames the lake's extraordinary blue-green as though it were hung canvas. From the infinity pool terrace — decked in wide-plank hardwood with olive trees planted at the perimeter — the Baldo mountain range fills the western horizon at every hour. Throughout, the design resists grand gestures in favor of calibrated restraint: furnishings in amber and sage, circular mirrors above floating oak vanities, balconies wide enough to function as genuine outdoor rooms rather than token gestures toward the view.

"Perfetto! You would not believe how amazing the views are, the grounds are, the staff were, and the cuisine is, unless you visit. One of the best experiences of my life!"

"We have just stayed at the hotel and it was fabulous! We had some reservations as had read some reviews about the service not being good. But we had absolutely amazing service! All the staff were so polite and helpful with us. We are from the UK and found everything to be perfect. The room and facilities were fabulous. We had many spa treatments they had such an amazing selection with so many options. The lady on the spa desk was so very helpful. The breakfast was amazing with such good service. The views are unbelievable from the rooms, pools and restaurants. We will definitely be coming back."

"Cape of Senses is beautiful and well managed, but it is also rigid, sterile and remote. We are from California (my wife is Asian) and wanted to enjoy a relaxing spa resort on one of the italian lakes after a two month trip around the world. Initially, we thought we chose well, the views are awesome, the grounds are beautiful, the breakfasts are great and the service is good. We did notice our fellow guests were mostly speaking German and learned that many of the hotel clients come from Germany. However, we had an incident our first dinner at the hotel which changes our assessment of the Cape of Senses. My wife crossed her legs under the table when we sat for dinner, but the restaurant manager asked her to un cross them because it is impolite at dinner. We thought that request was absurd so we said “no” and the restaurant manager insisted we leave. We did leave, directly to the front desk to complain, but the hotel manager is not on site so the staff was left to make light of the situation. While we were having that conversation an Asian couple approached complaining that same restaurant manager wouldnt let them eat in the air conditioned part of the restaurant which is adjacent to the exterior part where dinner was being served. The front desk couldnt help them either, but did remind them dinner can not be served in room or in the air conditioned bar area. Discriminating against Asians? Now regarding the spa at Cape of Senses, it is basically a steam and sauna in the basement, and all self serve. Also, regarding “remote”, the hotel is 45 minutes from anything, and although they offer ebikes, the roads are twisting and narrow so very unsafe, leaving the only optiom to take their shuttle services which they offer for Euro 110, each way. Given our experience and the numerous other beautiful resorts in the Italian lakes region, we would recommend youale plans to visit those instead of Cape of Senses, since they seem to cater only to German “senses”."
