LG116

Located in Gargnano on the western shore of Lake Garda, Villa LG116is a luxury villa with a private pool and breath-taking views of Lake Garda. Built in the 1700s and restored in 2015, the villa is within easy walking distance of the town (up a steep narrow road), lakeside beaches, shops and restaurants. Gargano is one of the most beautiful historic centres of Lake Garda with places of interest such as the church of "San Francesco" and the bell tower of the "San Martino" church. You can also find many quaint shops and restaurants including two Micheline star restaurants (Villa Feltrinelli and Tartugha) and, in September in nearby Bogliaco, the spectacular "Centomiglia" a hundred-miles-regatta of sailing boats attracts a big audience every year. The house is found the end of a tiny private street, with other historic buildings on the street and it is very private. It offers a large garden, terraced on 5 levels (each level about 50m x 10m, so 2500sqm of garden in total) that flank the non-street side of the house, with big windows/glass walls and doors out onto the internal garden, filled with mature bougainvillea, olive trees, flowers and the traditional citrus trees of the "limonaia" of Gargnano at the top level. The far end of the gardens are closed off with tall ancient stone walls, so it feels very much like a secret garden or a story book Arabian nights courtyard -- the garden is completely invisible from the street and from other houses, but visible from the house itself, to the point where in both the upstairs and downstairs lounge area, the garden seems like a feature of the interior design, almost seamless indoor/outdoor living. There is no parking directly on the property -- the tiny private road is not big enough for access by any but the smallest vehicles, but we can provide a long term parking space rental nearby (the price of the villa includes 2 parking passes; these passes will give free right to park in any public parking space in the city. There are two right below the house, one open air and one across the street that has underground parking as well. These are 150m from the villa via the pedestrian access with stairs), as well as Vespa/scooter and e-bicycle rentals to keep easy transport at the house itself. The town itself is only a few hundred meters on foot, at the end of the private road, and more parking can be found there on the main road. We also provide a baggage service on arrival and departure, so staff to carry the luggage up from the car to the house.
