Villa Cortine Palace Relais Chateaux
Viale C. Gennari, 2, Sirmione, BS, 25019
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.
Villa Cortine is in a privileged location between the green and the lake in the heart of Sirmione.
From the Hotel with less than a 5-minute walk, you get to its symbolic place, the Scaligero Castle; in less than 10 minutes, you get to the Roman ruins of the well-known Grottoes of Catullus.
Reaching out to touch the lake, wrapped in a centuries old park, the Villa is at a short distance from the renowned Jamaica beach, and in front of the entry to the Sirmione Thermal Baths.
