Off to the Lago? Don't miss this

I really thought I had seen and experienced all kinds of hotels: from boutiques competing with the thread-count quantity of their sheets, to refurbishments so stunning they could only befit somewhere like La Mamounia in Marrakech, to the No News - No Shoes concept of Soneva Fushi in the Maldives via some truly awful 'guest' houses and 'hostels' around European City, not to mention the soulless sadness of the Novotel, hotels come in all shapes and sizes.

Few, though, manage to stun like the Grand Hotel at Villa Feltrinelli in Gargnano on the Lago di Garda. The house which once belonged to the publishing magnate has become one of the most stunning hotels in Europe. And from breakfast to supper we have it covered in a series of reviews on http://www.planetmona.com which are being published this week.
