About us
" You can fall in love at first sight with a place as with a person."
(Alec Waugh)
A land that speaks straight to the heart
“For me, Lake Garda – with its landscapes, mountains, and the feelings these places evoke – is home.
I can’t stay away for long because I feel a deep connection to this place; it’s where I truly belong ” - Giovanni Zambiasi
The journey to bring this dream to life began between 1980 and 1985, initially as a cooperative that acquired the land and the stables. Then, in 2006, Campei was added, marking the next chapter in its story.
I still vividly remember my first horseback trip through the Alto Garda Park with a wonderful group of friends. The journey lasted several days, with limited communication—our only option was to use public phones in the villages we passed through, as mobile phones didn’t exist yet.
That wild and isolated experience, completely disconnected from the outside world and in sync with nature’s rhythms and timeline, became the inspiration for everything I’ve built since.
An experience to be enjoyed with passion and generosity
I inherited from my grandparents a deep knowledge of the land—from the lake to the mountains—and from my parents, the understanding that caring for things is essential to help them grow.
A big family!
I take great pride in knowing that I’ve succeeded—and continue every day—in taking care of my team, who are like family to me, as well as my animals (dogs, cats, horses, hens...) and our activity.
This is what I offer to my guests: genuine care and attention.
By living this way, I hope to always hold a place in the hearts of the people I’ve met and welcomed here. To me, there is no greater gratification.
