Rural and Refined Hospitality in Harmony with a Heritage Worth Preserving
The countryside is our home, our life, and our legacy. It is here, among the gentle hills of Lazise—where the land opens onto Lake Garda and time seems to slow—that our Wine Relais was born: a place of authentic, elegant, and refined hospitality, rooted in the history of Villa Bottona and its estate, a guardian of a farming tradition passed down through generations.
Villa Bottona
Villa Bottona is the origin everything, the beating heart of Natiia. Here in 1872, Count Girolamo Brognoligo transformed the eighteenth-century Villa Barbaro according to the neo-medieval taste, very popular on Lake Garda at that time. The name “La Bottona” came shortly thereafter and was inspired by the large barrels that were used for storing wine. Today the Villa has the appearance of a castle surrounded by greenery, with crenellated walls and a tower overlooking the lake. In the first of the two courtyards we find the original peasant spirit, with the rustic buildings and the ancient warehouses. In the second we can instead walk through the Corte della Magnolia, with the manor buildings and the palm trees of the twentieth-century garden overlooking Garda. Reaching Villa Bottona by carriage along the lush avenue of horse chestnut trees means entering the heart of Natiia, where Nature dictates the times.
Luca Pannone – A Story of Tradition, Passion, and Vision
Luca Pannone is the creative and visionary mind behind Natiia, the natural retreat overlooking Lake Garda. With a deep sensitivity to sustainability and design in harmony with nature, he has redefined hospitality as an authentic and unconventional experience—where land and wellbeing, history and beauty blend seamlessly.
