On August 15th, Italy’s iconic Ferragosto festival invites travelers to celebrate summer like locals at Lake Garda, paired with a celestial spectacle. Just days earlier, the Night of San Lorenzo (August 10th) offers a stunning meteor shower lighting up the summer skies.
Travelers can skip the crowds and uncover the charm of Lake Garda, where serene landscapes and authentic Italian experiences await. Set 600 feet above the lake, the five-star adults-only Cape of Senses provides panoramic views of the water and mountains, creating a peaceful haven for relaxation and renewal.
Highlights include the fireworks display on August 15 at the Festa del Vino di San Martino della Battaglia in Desenzano del Garda, where guests can enjoy local wines under a glowing sky. In Garda, the Palio delle Contrade features a nighttime race of traditional bisse boats, followed by fireworks. Meanwhile, the Yellow Night in Limone sul Garda (Aug. 14–15) celebrates the region’s famous lemons with music, entertainment, and local cuisine.
Guests at Cape of Senses can enjoy Vespa rides through medieval villages and hills or opt for a sailboat excursion to embrace the dolce vita on the water. After a day of discovery, travelers can unwind in the Sky Suite, with its private sky pool and rooftop gazebo—ideal for watching the meteor showers and turning summer moments into lasting memories
