Ah, the ’60s!
La DolceVita: an existence imbued with elegance, pleasure and beauty; meticulous attention to traditional craftsmanship; the simplicity of elegant, discreet luxury!
The ’60s saw the flowering of Italian automotive and nautical masterpieces, exceptional hotels and the discovery of mythical mountain passes, particularly in the Great Lakes region of Italy and the Italian Dolomites.
We invite you to relive this exclusive, elegant and timeless authenticity through this extraordinary tourist rally.
As with all our tourist rallies, both women and men will be delighted by a program designed by our managers, who have always made parity their top priority!
The emphasis will be on conviviality and the pleasure of savouring Michelin-starred gastronomy and taking advantage of 2 Hotels & SPA 5***** for well-deserved relaxation and moments of sharing between the crews.
Want to drive around in an exceptional car? We can put you in touch with Performance GT, the specialist in luxury and sports car rentals (Rolls Royce, Bentley, supercars, etc.).
Need to transport your vehicle? We'll put you in touch with a carrier specializing in the secure transport of top-of-the-range vehicles.
Beautifully situated on the shores of Lake Lugano, surrounded by the Alps, this timelessly charming establishment is nestled in a subtropical park.
140 years of passion and continuous transformation have succeeded in preserving the soul, charm and warmth of a "Private Villa".
We'll take the time in the afternoon to get to know each other, to discover the detailed rally program and to enjoy the sublime surroundings.
From 5pm onwards, you'll be free to take full advantage of the magnificent SPA and the view over the shores of Lake Lugano.
Dine at the Galleria Arté al Lago, the pride and joy of the Grand Hotel, where culinary excellence meets art in a perfect marriage of flavors and emotions. Chef Frank Oerthle will treat you to a light, innovative cuisine featuring a selection of local products based on fish from the lake.
After breakfast, we leave at 8 a.m. for Lezzeno on the shores of Lake Como, where a big surprise awaits you.
You'll have the pleasure and privilege of being welcomed by the owner , Erio Matteri, who will introduce you to his craft and shipyard.
Over the years, Erio, a certified shipwright, has become a symbol of excellence and a worldwide ambassador for Riva and Lake Como!
Before him, it was Carlo Riva in the 50s who, with talent and passion, placed the brand at the pinnacle of the nautical industry, transforming his boats into veritable design icons, representative of a lifestyle marked by a myth of speed.
2 worthy representatives of the Italian sports car industry at the time, Gianni Agnelli (then president of Ferrari ) and Ferruccio Lamborghini, contributed to the Riva legend by having Riva Aquarama models built with twin V12 engines!
You will then be invited to discover and climb aboard the majestic Riva Tritone , Ariston and Aquarama , where you will be welcomed and immediately conquered by the timeless beauty and bestiality of these "Runabouts ", just as the film stars and celebrities of the Mediterranean jet-set were in the 50s and 60s, taking advantage of the "economic miracle" of those prosperous years of industrialization and modernization.
Your cruise aboard the Riva will give you an exceptional view of the famous villas overlooking the shores of Cernobbio, Moltrasio and Laglio, including Villa Le Fontanelle, once the home of Versace, and George Clooney's Villa Oleandra.
On the opposite bank, in the municipality of Torno, stands the majestic Villa Pliniana, built in 1573.
Crossing the lake again, heading north, you'll discover the unique and famous Comacina Island andNesso, a small fishing village that reveals a Roman bridge crossing the gorge from which the cool waters of a natural waterfall gush forth.
Lunch at the Riva Private Deck, a veritable oasis of luxury and relaxation
Before departing from this unique site, Riva and EX&EL will present you with a gift emblematic of a morning so rich in emotion!
We'll be back on the road, heading for Lake Garda, which we'll skirt for over 30 km from Salo to Limone sul Garda , where we'll land for the evening and night.
Situated between the pre-alpine belt and the Po valley, Lake Garda is Italy's largest lake, surrounded by unspoilt nature, palm and lemon trees and crystal-clear waters.
Lake Garda boasts an exceptionally mild climate, enchanting views and beautiful villages, which we pass through such as Salo, Gardone Riviera , Maderno and Gargnano before reaching our destination for the day: the sublime village of Limone Sul Garda.
It's impossible to miss the lemon trees as we approach Limone Sul Garda , and contrary to what you might think, "Limone" doesn't mean lemon, but refers to the Latin "Limen", meaning "passage".
Until the 1930s, Limone sul Garda was only accessible by boat. In 1932, a road was built to Limone sul Garda, enabling it to become a popular seaside resort.
This famous road with the Tremosine Tunnel is famous for the spectacular chase scenes with the Aston Martin DBS driven by James Bond agent 007 in "Quantum of Solace".
You'll have the chance and pleasure of discovering this sublime haven of peace and absolute relaxation.
Hotel EALA is the fruit of the professionalism, love of the land and authenticity of the Risatti family, whose concept of hospitality originating on Lake Garda has crossed all borders.
The hotel owes its name to the Royal Swan, theEALA, which has always lived on the shores of Lake Garda; elegant and innately graceful.
Enjoy the SPA with its exceptional view of the lake before dinner.
You'll dine at the Alfio Ghezzi Bistrot restaurant, where the menu refers to the territory and pays homage to the authenticity of local and exotic products.
After breakfast, we set off at 10 a.m. towards the north of Lake Garda, quickly joining the mountain roads to Trento via Ponte Arche.
We'll stop off on the shores of Lake Toblino for an incredible immersive experience: an exclusive guided tour of the cellars and Castle of Toblino, accompanied by a tasting of the wines produced on the Castle's 5-hectare wine estate, which takes advantage of the lake's unique microclimate.
Toblino Castle is the most famous and romantic castle in Trentino Province, an enchanting and mysterious place that owes its fame to its unique location, the magical surrounding landscape and the many legends that still contribute to its charm today.
We'll then head for Trento for a better start on the Monte Bondone pass, a superior category pass with a vertical drop of over 1,500 metres, some slopes reaching 15%.
The COL is world-renowned and feared by the best climbers in the Giro d'Italia.
We'll have the pleasure of taming this fabulous COL and enjoying an exceptional panorama of the entire Dolomites from Brenta to the Adamello mountains.
We'll take a well-deserved lunch break on the terrace of the Hotel NORGE restaurant, weather permitting, or in the main hall.
We continue our ascent to Vason and then start our descent back to Lake Garda.
We'll enjoy spectacular views of the Trentino Alps and the castles that line this exceptional route: Castello Madruzzo, Castello di Dreno and Castello di Arco.
We'll be back at the EALA by 4:30 p.m., when you can take full advantage of the hotel, SPA and swimming pools.
Our festive evening ends on the hotel roof-top.
We leave EALA at 9.30 a.m. to take the famous cliffside "Strada della Forra" (SP 38), which follows a narrow, winding gorge and is rightly considered one of the most beautiful roads in the world overlooking a lake.
Sir Winston Churchill called it the "8th wonder of the world".
We'll have an exceptional view of the lake from the famous Terrazza del Brivido (Terrace of Sensations) suspended 350 metres above the lake!
We take the road along the west coast of the lake to reach the famous Sirmione peninsula.
We pass through the gateway to the imposing fortress or Rocca Scaligera (Scaligera Castle), with its towers visible from afar.
We'll head for the Palace Villa Cortine and lunch at the Al Molo restaurant on a magnificent lakeside terrace.
After lunch, we'll visit the old town, its historic center and the Roman Villa (Grotte di Catullo), an extraordinary, well-preserved work of architecture originally made famous and named after the famous Latin poet Catullus.
We finish the rally and leave with our eyes and hearts full of emotion at 4pm after this last visit.
