If you dream of castles, breathtaking views, and beautiful interiors that are fit for a prince or princess, then this is the home for you. Perched above Lake Garda, this apartment is a wildly romantic spot – it's guaranteed to sweep you off your feet. 

The pastel colour palette creates a charming, almost whimsical feel, where you can settle into life by the lake. The checkered sofa is a lovely place to curl up with a glass of Italian red wine, while the kitchen invites you to whip up your favourite pasta dishes. Step outside onto the balcony, and you can gaze out across the water – from quick breakfasts to lavish dinners, the alfresco dining space is lovely at all times of the day. Plus, you even have access to a shared swimming pool – it doesn't get much better than this. 

Padenghe Castle, a medieval fort, is just a five-minute walk away, where you can stroll through the ruins and soak up the sense of history. The edge of the lake is just a five-minute drive away, and you can walk or cycle along the many trails nearby. And, if you're a golfer then you're in luck – two of the most popular courses are within a six-kilometre drive of the house.

As soon as you approach this lovely home's building, you're greeted with a beautiful pond with a fountain and colourful fish – we felt an air of calm straight away. The garden has an even bigger pond – the shared swimming pool is perfect for cooling off in the Italian heat or simply relax with a book on the lounger.

Inside the apartment, there are characterful exposed beams and terracotta tiled floors. Another stand-out feature of this home is the main bathroom which has Swarovski crystals set in the furniture and on the washbasin – we do love a bit of bling.

Situated a few steps from Spiaggia D'oro and the centre of Desenzano del Garda, it has a fabulous location. If you have kids with you, there's a playground 50 metres away too.

Rooftop Terrace

This charming home is a pastel-toned delight. Chandeliers and peach hues combine to create a home that could be a Sofia Coppola set, with screen-worthy views to boot. Spread over two floors, this home is full of thoughtful touches to make your stay memorable for all the right reasons. 

Start your day on the spacious terrace, drinking in the breath-taking views of the lake while sipping your morning coffee. Whip up breakfast in the elegant stone-tiled kitchen then plan how to spend your day. We could easily spend hours in the rooftop pool, lazily floating in the sunshine with a backdrop of exquisite scenery. 

After you’ve dried off in the sun, head into the historic centre of Padenghe and enjoy lunch in a trattoria. Wander the streets with a gelato, or call into cafes for coffee and watch the world go by – there’s no need to rush, you’re in Italy after all. The jewel in Padenghe’s crown is undoubtedly the castle; whether you’re a history buff or you’re just in it for the views of Garda, it’s well worth strolling five minutes up the hill to explore. Further afield, beautiful Sirmione is less than ten miles away. 

However you spend your stay, make sure you spend at least one evening on the terrace with a glass of something local, watching the sun set slowly over the lake. If you’re anything like us, you’d kick yourself for missing it.

Experience peace and comfort on the banks of Lake Garda when you stay at this modern apartment, just ten minutes from the heart of Riva del Garda. The well-outfitted home comes with a large private terrace, boasting panoramic views over the staggeringly beautiful landscape that surrounds it.

Enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner at the outdoor dining table, plus the odd aperitif – you are on holiday, after all. The balcony is shaded, which means you can enjoy the views and hilltop breeze without the sunshine overwhelming you. Inside, you'll find everything you need for a comfortable stay, from the inviting seating area to the fully equipped kitchen. Slide open the doors as you cook to let the warm Italian air waft in.

The town is famed for its ideal windsurfing conditions, so it would be a shame to leave without trying it out. If you're seeking a more laidback getaway, we suggest a gentle stroll around the fascinating Museo Alto Garda. Its unique collection of art and archaeology is housed in a historic former fortress.

Lakeside Lookout

Private Pool

Situated in the hills of the Province of Parma, this historic home is an idyllic spot for nature lovers looking for relaxation.

Meanwhile, the interiors blend original features with modern home comforts. Although the decor feels dated in places and may not be to everyone's taste, the style is in keeping with the area’s rich heritage.

In the charming town of Desenzano del Garda, among the ancient ruins and intricate mosaics, this fascinating home invites you to experience the history that lives within its walls. Dating back to the 1900s, this apartment has many tales to tell, having been built by a local winemaker in the 30s. 

Combining history and culture, the building has been beautifully restored and retains many of its original features. Think fine marble staircases, wrought iron railings and intricately carved window frames – stepping into this home will transport you back in time. The interiors are super homely with pops of sunshine yellow, which perfectly mirrors the exterior.
Open up the French doors and take a seat on the comfy sofa to enjoy your morning coffee and gaze at the spectacular views of the lake. The private balcony looks out over the piazza, and is the perfect place to breathe in some fresh air and watch the world go by. You'll be ideally situated for exploring both the town and the beach, giving you the best of both worlds. 

Known for its ancient ruins and artifacts, head to one of the local museums to learn more about this fascinating part of Italy. Desenzano Castle is just 450 yards away, which has enjoyed a rich and varied past – climb up to the tower entrance for incredible views over Lake Garda.

When dinner time comes around, you'll be spoilt for choice, with an array of authentic Italian restaurants practically on your doorstep. But if you fancy a quiet, more private meal, we recommend buying some fresh ingredients and then heading home to try cooking some local delicacies yourself, washed down with a glass of wine and a movie on the sofa.

Access to Beach

A stone's throw from the sandy shores and harbour of Lake Garda lies this beautiful apartment, bathed in red. Spread over two floors, everyone will have the space to stretch their legs here. Lounge on the sofa in the open-plan living space while natural light fills the home, or breathe in the fresh air and lakeside views from the cosy balcony. The rich history of the building can be glimpsed in the touches of the original construction that were kept after the 2021 renovation – the wrought iron decor on the staircase railings, and the ornate windows. The traditional blends seamlessly with the modern, with the fully-equipped kitchen allowing you to whip up some fantastic home-cooked meals. That is, when you're not out exploring the dining opportunities that Desenzano del Garda has to offer.

The resort town of Desenzano del Garda has plenty for you to explore, whether by car or on foot. You'll be within easy walking distance of multiple restaurants and cafes, and you'll be just minutes from a stroll along the beautiful beaches and shores that line Lake Garda. For those looking to immerse themselves in the history and culture part of the town, head up to the Roman villa of Desenzano, where you can admire ruins and ancient mosaics. No matter what you're hoping to find on your trip – good food, beautiful scenery, wine tasting, boat tours, and a home away from home, you'll find it all in this little corner of Brescia.

Self Check-in / Check-out

Step into a Verona apartment where historic Italian charm meets the contemporary luxury expected at a designer hotel. Original stucco ceilings and mercury-blue fresco accents set the tone, while Minotti, Baxter, and Poltrona Frau furnishings add super chic sophistication. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, while an Emperador marble dining table beneath a 16-light brass chandelier makes every meal feel special. The living area is designed for relaxation, with smart TVs and air-conditioning throughout. A fully equipped kitchen with induction hob, Nespresso Vertuo, and professional appliances invites effortless self-catering, complemented by curated touches like Dyson hair tools, vegan skincare, and a gourmet welcome gift.

Sharing its outdoor pool with just one other apartment, this modern home sits in large gardens, in a quiet spot overlooking the rolling hills – the blue of Lake Garda just visible across the trees. With lovely lawns, old olive trees and plenty of green all around, it's a comfortable and practical home-from-home. 

Inside, it's a ground floor apartment well suited to family life. Modern in design, its big windows and spacious rooms keep it bright and sociable, with all eyes on the view to the rear. There's a well kitted-out kitchen and a dining table inside, but we think you'll be spending much of your time eating on the covered terrace. 

After breakfast, head to the gated outdoor pool for a morning of swimming and playing on the trampoline, or hop in your car and you'll be by the lakeshore in a little over five minutes. 

From your home, it's a short walk into the village of Soiano del Lago, with its grocery shop and small restaurants, making this the ideal choice for a quiet family holiday away from the hustle and bustle of the busy resorts. Drive to the nearby beaches for fun at the lake, or spend a day at one of the nearby amusement parks – Gardaland is around half an hour's drive away.

Located just a short walk from the centre of Florence, this Santa Maria Novella ticks all the important boxes for us, making it a functional base for city exploring. The fully equipped kitchen and large dining table let you enjoy a hearty breakfast before you head into town, and we like that the home gets plenty of natural light – always a nice way to start the day. When you want to explore, you'll find Strozzi Palace close by, as well as Florence Santa Maria Novella station, connecting you to the rest of Tuscany and beyond.

Housed in an elegant building in the Piazza Duomo in Desenzano del Garda, this home has a fabulous setting. The apartment is located just 50 metres from Lake Garda and the many shops, bars and restaurants. It's just 150 metres from one of the lake's sandy beaches too.

Back at this apartment, relax on the balcony off the main bedroom with a glass of wine. Inside, we love the feature ornate fireplace in the open plan living space, but the real highlight here is the beautiful view of the city's cathedral from the main bedroom window (this room also has vibrant botanical wallpaper).

Later, if you don't fancy eating out, rustle up some risotto con la tinca (rice with fish and chard) in the modern kitchen and enjoy the fruits of your labour at your dining table. After a busy day, get ready for bed in the marble-clad bathroom with its large shower and then get some rest.

Whether you’re enjoying dinner under the pergola, strolling to the local trattoria, or simply soaking up the view with a glass of local Chiaretto rosé, this place has a way of slowing time. Plus, Moniga’s charming harbour and castle are just moments away, waiting to be explored.

Garda's Delight

If you’re looking for a home with a view, then how about this apartment, which has captivating Lake Como vistas from its small balcony? Inside, the open-plan living space sleeps two guests on a sofa bed at full capacity. We love the outlook from the dining table here, too – at this home, you can create wonderful memories. Set in the town of Menaggio with its lakeside promenade, you’ll have plenty to occupy your time or go for a scenic hike in the nearby mountains. With its fantastic location, this apartment is the perfect retreat.

Special features include a cinema room, gym area and a pool table, and every bedroom has an en-suite.

Veronese Reviere

This historic villa is in Gargano, a small town with a beautiful town centre, right on the shores of Lake Garda.

With its olive and lemon trees, fragrant bougainvillea, and ancient stone walls, it feels like something from a storybook.

Reflections of Peace

DVD Player

While gazing out from the infinity pool over Lake Garda, the air fragrant from the olive grove in the backyard, the only challenge is choosing between an opera at the Arena di Verona, a boat race at Centomiglia or a summer performance at the outdoor amphitheatre in Gardona Riviera. But why choose when you can do all and unwind at the indoor spa, take a helicopter tour or a horse-riding session by the villa. Built for romantics, Olive Branch celebrates nature, culture and the rustic delights of the Italian countryside in a strategic yet luxurious location. It’s even surrounded by a 1000-tree olive grove that still produces artisan oil.

Set across three storeys, there’s plenty of space to move around - whether you’re lounging on the sofa that looks directly out to the lake, entertaining around the dining table, or whipping up a classic Italian meal in the fully-equipped kitchen. The highlight, though, is that view – visible from all the bedrooms, and best-experienced on the top-floor terrace. Head into nearby Toscolano Maderno when you’re ready for some lakeside exploring.

A stone's throw from Lake Garda lies this beautiful apartment, dipped in green. Spread over two floors, everyone will have the space to stretch their legs here.

The building's rich history can be glimpsed in the wrought iron decor on the railings and the ornately carved windows. The traditional blends seamlessly with the modern, with the fully-equipped kitchen allowing you to whip up some fantastic home-cooked meals – when you're not out exploring the dining opportunities that Desenzano del Garda has to offer, that is.

Just a stone’s throw from Lake Como and within walking distance of the charming town of Lenno, this villa promises peace and quiet on Como’s western shore. You’ll have lake views to admire and plenty of outdoor space to soak them up – think a private pool, shaded terraces, balconies, and an outdoor lounge and dining area. Three of the bedrooms offer an extra single bed, which makes a great choice for families, though a group of close friends could make it work, too. And while the villa feels like its own retreat, we expect you’ll want to make the most of the lake, local trattorias and Spiaggia di Lenno, which are all within walking distance.

Start the day the right way with coffee and locally baked pastries on one of the balconies, soaking in those incredible vistas as the day stretches out before you. Then, after taking the time to pamper yourself in one of the contemporary bathrooms or catching up on the day's news out in the lush green garden, it's off out to explore the beautiful lake and the magical areas which surround it. 

Head into the bustling nearby town of Salò, where you will find everything from designer shops to family-owned eateries serving up the best of Northern Italian cuisine. Of course, then there is also the gorgeous architecture typical of this area as well as the variety of activities based around the lake itself. Why not pick up some fresh local produce in one of the markets, taking it back to the well-equipped kitchen to prepare into your very own version of some of the delicacies you sampled during your voyage of discovery around the lake?
