ARPA DI PIETRA

Welcome to Arpa di pietra! Dive in a harmony of pure relax, wellness and nature.Nestled between Lake Garda and Monte Altissimo, Arpa di Pietra is a unique place surrounded by two hectars of dry-stone wall terraced fields, on the edge of the woods. Our brand-new green building only offers six rooms: a small oasis where you will find serenity and wellness, a shrine where you will have the opportunity to enjoy nature in the fresh air and taste it in our strictly organic and zero km dishes. And after a long day spent mountain-biking, climbing or strolling in the woods, why not rest in our wellness centre? You will find the bio sauna with herbs, the Finnish sauna, the whirlpools, the emotional shower and comfortable nestling seats covered with ancient aromatic wood boards. Adagio, Andante, Allegro, Presto, Vivace and Brio. In musical jargon these words describe the character of a movement, at Arpa di Pietra they are the names of our beautiful rooms.Adagio and Andante set a slow and interior rhythm tuning with the seasons and the agricultural tasks of these ancient lands of Val di Gresta. Allegro resonates with the contrasts of light and with the vastness of the views stretching from Mount Altissimo to the bed of Lake Garda. Presto is the Lake Garda wind blowing from the South at noon and merging the woods’ essences with the springs’ water. Brio owns the centuries-old power of terracings, rocks and stones of Mount Biaena and Mount Stivo. Vivace is the infinite essence of the sky, the sun and the stars that light up the nights in Val di Gresta. ARPA DI PIETRA a spectacle of grandeur...Why such a particular name? We borrowed it from Aldo Gorfer, a Trentino landscape historian and author of “Terra mia”, where he describes the dry-stone wall terraces of Val di Gresta with these words: “The stone harp is a spectacle of grandeur and a cross-section of universal history. It includes the sea, which about 200 million years ago allowed grey limestones to sediment; the subsequent volcanos, which inserted themselves among the limestones with pyroclastic rocks; the quaternary glaciers, which modelled the mount’s coast covering it with erratic boulders originating from the great Alps; the flowing waters and the landslides which perfected the modelling; humans, finally, whose stubborn intervention built the complex framework that supports the mountain’s exploitation system. Walking here is like walking towards History. History has harmonized different eras projecting them onto the landscape. The landscape has become a cathedral.” ALDO GORFER, TERRA MIA, 1980 National Identification Number: IT022123B4LUQL2UEO
