At La Finestra sul Fiume, time slows down. Set along a gentle curve of the River Mincio, this ivy-clad stone retreat appears straight from the pages of a storybook.

Nestled amid flowering hydrangeas and whispering willows, its five characterful suites offer complete tranquillity and a rare kind of beauty—effortless, authentic, and deeply romantic.

If your idea of heaven is breakfast beneath walnut trees and riverside aperitifs with swans for company, you’ve found it.

This is a place for those who crave privacy, nature, and poetic surroundings. Whether you’re lying on a deckchair by the river, exploring the nearby gardens of Sigurtà, or wandering into the honey-stone village of Borghetto, La Finestra sul Fiume is the perfect place to hide away, reconnect, and breathe.
