Lohono Stays by the Isprava Group, India’s leading luxury villa hospitality brand, has made its first foray into Europe with the launch of its exclusive collection of villas at Lake Garda, Italy. Known for crafting bespoke luxury escapes across India and Southeast Asia, the brand now brings its signature blend of privacy, design, and world-class service to one of Italy’s most enchanting destinations.
Set in the heart of northern Italy, Lake Garda is a jewel that sits between the Dolomites and the rolling vineyards of Veneto and Lombardy. It is Italy’s largest lake where Alpine freshness meets Mediterranean charm. With its shimmering waters, pastel-hued villages, and a tranquil pace of life, Lake Garda has long been a secret retreat for those seeking understated elegance. Lohono’s entry here marks not just a business expansion, but an evolution of its promise: to create spaces where travellers can truly live, not merely stay.
Each villa in Lohono’s Lake Garda collection has been designed to offer a distinctive experience rooted in the region’s culture, architecture, and natural beauty. These homes feature private pools, lush gardens, stone gazebos, and saunas, ensuring a balance of comfort and intimacy. The villas overlook the lake’s pristine waters, providing panoramic views framed by mountains and cypress-lined lanes, a setting that feels like an oil painting come to life.
Beyond the architecture and location, what defines the experience is personalisation. Guests can enjoy a private chef and Italian cooking sessions, guided hikes through vineyards and olive groves, yoga by the lake, or boat tours with a personal skipper. For those seeking leisure and recreation, the region also offers golf courses, tennis facilities, and world-class wine trails. The idea is to encourage slow living, immersing oneself in the rhythm of the land, where every meal, view, and conversation becomes part of the experience.
Nibhrant Shah, Managing Director and Co-CEO of Isprava Group (Isprava, Lohono Stays, The Chapter), believes that Indian travellers are ready for destinations that offer deeper connections beyond tourist clichés. “Affluent Indian travellers are moving beyond the obvious Italian hotspots to explore places like Lake Garda that feel more intimate and layered,” he said. “They are looking for authenticity and cultural depth over standardised luxury. Lohono is meeting that demand by curating villas that deliver immersive, world-class living in destinations Indians are only beginning to discover.”
Over the past few years, Lohono has redefined luxury travel for Indian consumers by focusing on curated stays rather than cookie-cutter vacations. With its growing network of over 250 villas across India, Bali, Sri Lanka, and now Italy, the brand has built a strong following among travellers who value privacy, craftsmanship, and seamless service.
Dhimaan Shah, Executive Director and Co-CEO of Isprava Group, added, “Indian outbound travel is projected to cross 80 million journeys annually by 2030. Italy already ranks among the top five Schengen destinations for Indian travellers. Lake Garda represents a perfect blend of accessibility and exclusivity, and our expansion here reflects our commitment to offering unique holiday experiences in emerging destinations.”
This European debut is also a natural extension of the Isprava Group’s philosophy, to create homes that combine local character with global sophistication. Every villa is managed by Lohono’s hospitality team, ensuring guests receive the same high standards of service the brand is known for in India. From pre-arrival planning to in-villa experiences, every touchpoint is designed to feel effortless.
With Lake Garda, Lohono Stays isn’t just expanding its geography; it’s redefining what an Indian luxury brand can offer on the global stage. The move symbolizes a new chapter, where Indian sensibility meets European elegance, and where travellers find not just a destination, but a feeling of belonging.
As Lake Garda’s gentle waves meet the Alpine breeze, Lohono’s villas invite guests to slow down, savour, and rediscover the joy of living beautifully, one sunset at a time.
