STORIES

This year Regina Adelaide celebrates 50 years! Here our history, in brief:

Everything starts with Rina Mutto Tedeschi, cook and owner of the historical hotel Porta Leona in the very center of Verona together with her husband Bernardo: in the sixties, she decided to invest in the upcoming tourism at Lake Garda buying Villa Tonini, a Liberty style building in a prime location on the Garda gulf. The restoration went on very slowly and the demanding financial commitment threatened the whole project that risked to fail. In 1973, Bernardo died tragically; the son Giuseppe, at the time 20 years old, asked the family to take charge of the project by himself and after months of hard work, with a fundamental support from a new builder, the Regina Adelaide opened its activity. 56 rooms with a staff of 3 employees in the restaurant, 3 in the kitchen and 3 in the housekeeping: the following years have been adventurous, full of great efforts but also great satisfactions. In 1973, Giuseppe married Annalisa, who's been, since that time, a constant presence in the daily life of the hotel. In the following 15 years, 3 children were born and several opportunities took place to expand the hotel. The very first hotel SPA on the east side of lake Garda and a big outdoor pool in the very center of Garda were added and 12 completely new Junior Suites were built. The desire to improve constantly led to the decision to open a new gourmet restaurant the "Regio Patio" and the pastry shop "I Dolci della Regina" in 2009 confirming the Regina Adelaide as one of the most charming hotels around Lake Garda.
