Three of the bedrooms have French doors that open onto the balcony, so you can make the most of the view from the moment you wake up.

The villa is just 30 minutes’ walk downhill from downtown Salò (1.5km). You can be wandering around the cobblestone streets, marvelling in the historic architecture and enjoying local delicacies in no time. Salò has everything you could need and want, with theatres and museums to countless restaurants, bars and supermarkets. The lake promenade in Salò is the longest on Lake Garda, so it’s the perfect spot to stroll with the lake on one side and small shops and bars on the other. The area also has a lot of cultural offerings, such as the Church of Santa Maria Annunziata (5.2km) and the whimsical Giardino Botanico Fondazione gardens a little further in Gardone Riviera (8.3km)   The closest beach by the lake is a 40-minute downhill walk and has a private beach area where you can hire sun loungers and umbrellas. The pebble beach is popular with tourists and locals, and there are also tables next to the lake, so you can enjoy an aperitif while listening to the waves lapping against the rocks.  In under 15 minutes guests can walk to a few restaurants in the area or take the car and drive into town.
