Where is Hotel Sogno's lakeside restaurant?

Ristorante Sogno is on the terrace of Hotel & Ristorante Sogno, Via Porto San Felice 41, 25010 San Felice del Benaco (BS), on the western shore of Lake Garda, between Salò and Desenzano.

The tables sit right at the water's edge, looking out over the Rocca di Manerba. For lunch or dinner there is also the lemon gazebo, with glass walls looking onto the lake, heated in the colder months.
