Ferrara di Monte Baldo
Shooting Stars San Lorenzo. We will paint sketches, walk in the mountains, set tables in the garden, meet sunrises and drink wine under the stars. This tour is about renewal, creativity, about yourself, your desires and the power that is hidden inside. When people are united by love for creativity, wine and Italy, they always feel good together.
We invite you to spend a week at the Hotel Baldo in the heart of the Monte Baldo Nature Reserve, among exotic birds, deer, legends and flowers. The hotel stands directly on the famous Madonna della Corona trail, which passes through an ancient mystical monastery built into the rock and connects hundreds of kilometers of path across Europe. This road merges into the famous "Santiago" path described by Coelho. The hotel is just a couple of hours walk from the Madonna della Corona monastery, the iconic natural bridge of Veia, the settlements of ancient shamans and the vineyards of Lake Garda.
