Experiences The pleasure of having your feet on the ground

The beauty of dipping your hands and feet in the soil of our vegetable garden, to harvest some produce that you can then bring home, or cook in your apartments.

Or relaxing while discovering the highlights of the territory, while visiting wine cellars, taking long walks to discover the magical Valtènesi villages, or a day trip to the amazing Isola del Garda, which is owned by the family.

YOU choose your experience. We will be your compass, and we will be there to guide you.

Olive oil sommelier for a day: the Oleoteca

The sensory itinerary of olive oil tasting that we offer at La Breda is the legacy of an ancient culture, which is now nearly lost in the rest of the world, and that here had the opportunity to live and thrive thanks to Ilona’s passion.

During the course we will learn how to smell, taste, observe and get excited while discovering the incredible flavour notes of our excellent olive oils – we will understand the true meaning of extra virgin and DOP and we will learn how to describe their characteristics.

We will understand the difference between a good olive oil and an ordinary one, and how to correctly match the different oils with your food creations, turning an ordinary dish into an extraordinary masterpiece – and this by simply using the right olive oil.

The tasting takes place twice a week, and you will need to book in advance. You will also have the opportunity to taste local wines from the farms we work with.

  • The duration is one hour and a half
  • the price is 15 € per person.

The island

Have you ever been able to see an authentic little corner of paradise?
If the answer is no, then we highly recommend a daily trip to Isola del Garda!

It is the biggest island on Lake Garda, owned by the Borghese-Cavazza family.

You will live an experience made of aromas, colours and sounds: the park and its amazing beauty, the gardens that slowly descend to the Lake, the luxuriant vegetation rich in exotic plants and beautiful flowers…

…and then the villa, from the Franciscan monastery to the present day.

Everything else…is pure magic.

Your rebirth starts from the ground

If you live in the city, chances are that you are not used to the fragrance of ripe lemons, to the company of donkeys and chickens – or maybe you have never been for a walk amidst the olive trees. Then maybe it is time to pay us a visit.

We only ask you to be quiet and respectful towards our nature, the other guests, and our beloved donkeys.
