Quellenhof Luxury Resort Lazise

The hotel's golf page lists twelve courses, from the closest, Paradiso del Garda in Peschiera, a quarter of an hour away, to Bogliaco on the Brescia shore, reached by ferry. In between are the 27 holes of Ca' degli Ulivi, which the hotel rates among the most spectacular, and the 36 of Chervò San Vigilio.

Guests get preferential green fees, rental equipment and personal course tips from the team. Newcomers can book the golf-with-course package: seven nights with training several times a week on the range and on the course, and the licence exam before you leave.

For existing players there is the 7=6 Golf Getaway, running 25 October to 8 November 2026: seven nights for the price of six and four green fees to use at Golf Club Verona, Paradiso del Garda, Ca' degli Ulivi or Chervò San Vigilio.

Quellenhof Lazise lies a few minutes' walk from the lake among cypresses and olive trees, and is run by the Dorfer family with Stefan Margesin. It has three parts: the main house, with the suites, panorama restaurant and wellness areas; the annex, designed for families, with suites for up to eight; and the private villas, each with its own pool, sauna and whirlpool. Some suites step straight into the natural swimming lake.

Children aged four and up have an outdoor pool with two water slides, open mid-April to October, plus a treehouse, a football pitch and two family saunas. Dogs are welcome at €25 a day. Underground parking is free, and there is even a helipad behind the hotel.

The wellness area covers 2,000 m², with separate zones for adults and families. There are four pools: the adults-only rooftop sky pool, heated all year; a 25-metre sports pool you can enter from indoors; the children's pool; and the natural lake. The Finnish sauna hosts daily infusion rituals with music and aromas; couples can book the Private Spa Suite, and treatments are at Onda Spa.

Stays are on gourmet half board: a breakfast buffet until 11am and, in the evening, a six-course choice menu in the panorama restaurant, with fish, meat or vegetarian options and pizza from the house pizza oven. Lunch is at Bistro La Piazza, overlooking the garden; on summer evenings guests head up to the rooftop Tiki-Skybar for sunset drinks. Elegant dress is requested at dinner.

• From blue trout to five stars: in 1923 the Dorfer family took over a run-down inn in the Passeier valley, known for grandmother Resi's blue trout caught in the Passer river.
• A pioneer at the opening: Luise Dorfer, Heinrich's mother and a key figure in South Tyrol tourism, attended the Lazise launch.
• A shuttle between two resorts: on request it links Lazise with the Quellenhof in Passeier, near Merano.
• Dog-sitting on site: while owners are in the spa, staff will walk and play with the dog, for a fee and on reservation.
