VILLA DEL GARDA - MOCASINA

3 Bedrooms

Location and Surrounding Area
Perfectly placed near Lake Garda, this former 17th-century monastery is the ideal retreat in one of the most evocative corners in the north of Italy. Surrounded by mountains and hillsides dotted with olive and lemon trees, Lake Garda is Italy’s largest lake, covering 370 square kilometers and reaching into the regions of Veneto, Lombardy, and Trentino Alto Adige. A much-loved holiday destination since the days of ancient Rome, Lake Garda’s position results in a delightfully diverse range of scenery, culture, and cuisine.

Tucked at the foot of the Alps in northern Italy, Brescia is the second most populous city in the region after Milan. One of the main centers of production of the famous Franciacorta sparkling wine, Brescia overflows with surprises, ranging from beautifully preserved Roman sites and Renaissance architecture to a lively contemporary culture and alluring culinary traditions. Brescia stands out for its historic center that has been redeveloped, converted into a pedestrian zone, and transformed into a greenery-filled space. 

The villa is also a few kilometers 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.

In one hour by car, you can reach Bergamo. One 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.
