Property 29722746780 - Gardone Riviera - Lake Garda

4 Bedrooms - Pool - SPA

Location and Surrounding Area. Nestled on the rolling Mediterranean hills of Lake Garda, this four-bedroom villa is the perfect place for an Italian break in one of the most evocative corners in Northern Italy. Covering 370 square kilometers, Lake Garda is the largest of the Italian lakes, straddling the border between three regions: the Lombard plains to the west, Alpine Trentino Alto-Adige to the north and the hills of the Veneto to the east. Look around and you will be surprised to see a Mediterranean landscape of vineyards, olive groves and citrus orchards.

Like the best Italian lunch, exploring this fine region cannot be rushed. You will want to linger in Sirmione’s thermal pools, amble around Roman ruins and ferry-hop between villages. Then you might consider touring vineyards that feature in most sommeliers' top 10s: Valpolicella, Soave and Bardolino. Further south, in incurably romantic Verona, sit beneath the stars and enjoy world-class opera. And finally, in Mantua, feast on Renaissance frescoes.

The villa is just a stone’s throw from Verona, a vibrant trading center, the largest city in Veneto and one of the most prosperous in Northern Italy. Best known for Shakespeare, Verona attracts a multinational gaggle of tourists to its pretty piazzas and lanes, most in search of Romeo and Juliet. But beyond the Renaissance romance, Verona’s center boasts magnificent Roman ruins and fine palazzi built of rosso di Verona, the local pink-tinged limestone. And all just a short hop from the shores of Lake Garda.

The villa is also a few kilometers from Bergamo. Of Lombardy’s four great historic cities, Bergamo might be the finest, courtesy of its handsomely walled old town, antique but atmospheric main piazza. Split into two sections: alto, the old town atop a hill, and basso, the newer town inhabiting the plains below, Bergamo juxtaposes medieval monuments with the footprints of 21st-century hipsters. Herein, 600-year-old cafes stand alongside brand-new coffee labs.

The villa is also a few kilometers from Mantua, protected by lakes, anchored by Unesco-listed Renaissance architecture and colored by a history that resounds to the daring deeds of the House of Gonzaga. Reigning for 400 years from the early 14th centuries, the Gonzaga family made Mantua a center of the Renaissance, commissioned several massive palaces, and cemented power by intermarrying with the powerful d’Este clan of Ferrara. Much of the city today was built in their image.

Though less than an hour from Venice, Padua seems a world away with its medieval marketplaces, Fascist-era facades and student population. Rich in art and architecture, this university town has two particularly outstanding sights. The magnificent Cappella degli Scrovegni, north of the city center, is famous for Giotto’s lyrical frescoes, and forms part of the complex incorporating the Eremitani church and museums. The Basilica di Sant’Antonio is one of the most popular pilgrimage destinations in Italy.
