Villa Cortine is born in the late 1800s, when Baron Von Koseritz purchases the big five-hectare park and commissions the construction with a neoclassical facade. The villa takes its name from the hill where it lies, on the tip of the Sirmione peninsula, where there was a Roman military garrison.
Already at that time the beauty of the lake and the thermal waters attracted visitors. In 1953, the villa becomes a luxury hotel and is enlarged to carry out what nowadays is the main hotel building. Pride of the Hotel is its immense centuries-old park, of five hectares, that wraps it entirely in a whirlwind of perfumes and sensations.
Here, on the gentle slope of the hill, an exciting sensory path winds through majestic conifers and tall palm trees, Mediterranean vegetation and bushes in bloom, fountains and stretches of water, neoclassical statues and natural balconies opening onto sensational lake views. Encircled by the villa walls, our park is an unparalleled oasis of exclusive quiet and intimacy.
