Design Perfection on the Shores of Lake Garda

Studio Apostoli is responsible for the design of the Bellerive Lifestyle Hotel on Lake Garda, breathing new life into this 5-star property through extensive renovations with a focus on lifestyle...

Situated in the Bay of Salò, overlooking the Canottieri del Golfo di Salò tourist port on Lake Garda, Bellerive Lifestyle Hotel has recently reopened to the public after significant interior restyling and space redistribution carried out by Studio Apostoli. Thanks to these interventions, Bellerive Lifestyle Hotel has been upgraded from 4 to 5 stars. The boutique hotel encompasses the main five-story building with a spacious panoramic terrace on the top floor, along with the adjacent Bellavista building.

The restyling project is inspired by the philosophy of natural elements (water, earth, flora) and encompasses the entire structure. This includes communal and reception areas, the LeRive restaurant, Lounge Bar, and rooms in both buildings, totaling 38. Delicate shades harmonize with textured fabrics and upholstery, with warm, soft lighting accentuated by decorative lamps. Dense wooden paneling with metal inserts elegantly contrasts the fine marble laid in classic patterns.

Superior, Deluxe, and Suite rooms - up to 45 square meters - define the room selection and follow the design concept inspired by natural elements. This includes neutral and desaturated tones, watercolor effect wallpapers, weaving and overlay games, and matte, soft surfaces. The result is an intimate and comfortable environment for relaxation, immersed in the panoramic lake setting.

The hotel's offering is completed by the LeRive restaurant with panoramic lake views, the Lounge Bar with a fine selection of local wines, an outdoor pool with a solarium and relaxation area, and private parking for guests. Another part of the structure includes a gym with panoramic views, a conference space, and four additional suite rooms inspired by the elements of water and earth, distributed on the first and second floors.

"Together with my studio, we developed a concept inspired by the Latin 'otium', conveying a renewed approach to contemplation, meditation, and self-assurance," comments Alberto Apostoli, founder of Studio Apostoli, who continues: "Bellerive Lifestyle Hotel enjoys a strategic position - an outpost on the shores of Lake Garda, truly an exceptional location. We drew inspiration from its history and identity for our restyling project."
