I am the proud grandson of Guglielmo and Jole, my grandfathers. They built this house in 1957. In 1955 German turists started travelling back to Lake Garda. They were driving BMW Isettas, taking a bus or a long trip with a train, but could not wait to enjoy summer vacations here. Running water from public aqueduct was the "big thing" in Bardolino back then in 1955 and, at the beginning of the main street in Bardolino, there was a stable with a loud donkey, instead of today's established cafes and ice cream places. Yes, it sounds like a million years ago. In 1957 my grandfather Guglielmo wanted to build his dream-home by Garda lake, a place to spend time with his son Roberto, daughter Ida, and beloved wife Jole, relax from everyday's stress, enjoy sunrises, sunsets, storms, nature, the changes of seasons, write some music and poetry. Those were still hard times and there was not much money around, but my grandfathers were visionaries, so they did not build the usual cheap squared box of those times, but they engaged the reputable Ing. Tretti, who designed one of the few examples of 1950's architecture left in this today's more-and-more gentrified location. His design met the ethusiasm and creativity of two teenagers (Roberto and Ida), so they built a cute indoor-bar in a corner of the house, which reminds and simbolizes a part of a ship, during its imaginary trip on the lake, sea or perhaps through life. This special home was always a place in which family members and friends gathered together to spend time in happyness. If only the piano and the walls could talk ..... And this is what I wish to my guests: privacy, safety, relax, holiday, nice memories. While doing the 2020 renovation, I wanted to keep the original spirit in place, preserving the key features of that architecture, while combining more contemporary lighter colours, technology, and newer furniture, where needed. The house requires care and proper handling, and I will be happy to meet you at check-in and explain you what you need to know. It will take a bit of time (about 1 hour), so please take your time: no hurry which checking-in. I love kids and I am more thank happy to host kids, but this house does not provide all the safety features that would make it ideal for kids from 2 to 12 (although from 9 years old it should be OK). I did not check the box "Ok for kids from 2 to 12" on Airbnb because the pool and the roof-top are always accessible, and parents must be very careful. Pool depth more than 1,4 meters! In order to lower carbon-footprint we use organic cotton linens that are not supposed to be ironed, so please do not be surprised to see non-ironed beds.
