Occupying several restored buildings dating from the 15th and 16th centuries, Rambaldi Apartments is a perfect example of how history can be seamlessly integrated with contemporary comfort.
The project began as an ambitious revitalization of properties formerly owned by the Guerrieri Rizzardi family, a name deeply tied to Bardolino’s winemaking legacy. What were once working cellars and wine storage facilities have been transformed into stylish residences that reflect the textures and warmth of the original structures. Terracotta tiles, timber beams and stone walls are enhanced with modern design and amenities.
The apartments occupy several buildings along the streets of central Bardolino that surround the estate, each with its own character: some offer garden access, others are only a few steps from Lake Garda, and others overlook picturesque lanes and the Borgo Bardolino courtyard — an invitation to slow down, explore on foot and savor the authentic rhythm of this enchanting lakeside village.
The transformation of these spaces into luxurious apartments has not gone unnoticed. Rambaldi Apartments was awarded the “Best Of Wine Tourism 2026 – Accommodation” award. This recognition places the property among the elite destinations worldwide that successfully combine high-level hospitality with authentic wine tourism experiences.
What truly sets Rambaldi Apartments apart is its direct connection to Bardolino’s wine tradition. The apartments stand just minutes from some of the region’s most respected wineries, making it an ideal base for those who want to explore the Bardolino DOC. Whether you are planning a curated itinerary of tastings and vineyard visits or prefer spontaneous excursions through the hills, staying at Rambaldi Apartments places you in the center of it all. Guests frequently comment on the ease of access to cellar doors and the opportunity to meet producers who are often just a short walk or bike ride away.
Beyond the wine, the setting itself enhances the experience. Rambaldi Apartments includes a private garden open only to guests, offering a serene retreat with centuries-old trees, a botanical corner, a semi-circular swimming pool and sun loungers. This green space pays tribute to the estate’s agrarian past while offering an exclusive space for relaxation after a day spent exploring vineyards or the lakefront.
The hospitality at Rambaldi Apartments is discreet yet attentive, aligning with the expectations of travelers who value independence without sacrificing service. Concierge services, flexible check-in options and local partnerships with wineries and cultural institutions ensure that guests can tailor their stay to suit their interests.
