Monte Pico in Lake Garda
view from the pool

sleeps 4 2 bedroom 2 bathrooms

A lovely villa near Lake Garda

On a private hilly estate with its own gated entrance, sits a lovely country villa called Monte Pico, recently built in harmony with the surroundings. All around is a small forest of ash trees, oaks and elms, mixed with native bushes and wild flowers; further down, towards Lake Garda are rows of producing vineyards. The area is blessed by a mild climate and an amazing landscape: snow-capped mountains, blue skies and an abundance of olive trees all around the shores of the lake: this is the view to enjoy from the top of Monte Pico, where the villa sits.

For evening outings, the lively and elegant town of Desenzano has plenty to offer: summer festivals, fine restaurants, night clubs or just romantic strolls by the lake, quaint little villages and castles waiting to be explored.

At Monte Pico, the owners live in the upper area of the villa and have left the apartment at the ground floor for exclusive use of their guests, with separate entrances. The apartment, opening to the front yard of the house, is airy, spacious and comfortably furnished with some Art Deco pieces. Floors are covered with timber parquetry and walls are painted in warm cream tones; ample external spaces are at disposal of guests for barbecues, picnics and outdoor dining. The free-shape swimming pool is situated at the top level of the property and is shared with owners (time sharing can be arranged).

The owner is a member of the local yacht club, and he can organise sailing on the lake on request.
