The Palazzo Arzaga welcomes its guests to the scenically picturesque countryside of Lombardy, southwest of Lago di Garda near Desenzano and Sirmione. The beautifully restored property dated from the 15th century has 84 rooms and suites and guests have access to a fantastic 18-hole golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus, and a golf academy registered with the PGA. A further highlight is the beauty department which was set up in association witn the renowned Saturnia Terme. Australia now has its own Orient Express train, the
Great South Pacific Express. Since the end of 1998 this new Edwardian-style luxury train runs between Sydney, Brisbane and Cairns. Sights along the roote include the tropical rain forests of the Atherton Tablelands, the Gold and Sunshine Coasts and the Great Barrier Reef. The carriages panelled with rae woods have elegant fitments and provide every possible comfort. Without a doubt one of the most beautiful hideaways in Switzerland is the
Giardino Hotel in Ascona. This Mediterranean villa pampers its guests. Set in the midst of exotic gardens it is a place which combines leisure, beauty and joie de vivre. One strolls through lush gardens and under rose-entwined arches to the rooms and suites more
reminiscent of a private country house than of an hotel. A lively southern atmosphere
prevails in
both gourmet restaurants which serve excellent Italian cuisine.
