This charming apartment is one with a long history. The building started out life as a winery in the early 1900s, but given the spectacular location and lake views, the owner decided to make a home out of it. The production of wine continued in the cellar while the owner lived here, and the apartment’s rosé hues pay homage to its wine-entwined past.

Not only is the building impressive for its history, but also its classic touches – the original wrought iron railings and marble stairs remain. As first impressions go, this is a pretty good one. And when stepping inside the home, you won’t be disappointed. It’s a cheerful space, sleek yet homely. A large window takes full advantage of the view – you’ll love tucking into your breakfast around the table with the fresh air billowing in.

When the vista has tempted you enough and it’s time to explore, you’re just steps away from the banks of Lake Garda. A sandy beach is 150 metres away – spread out your candy-striped beach towel, catch up on your book, and take a dip in the refreshing waters. When talks turn to food, you’re in the heart of Desenzano del Garda with excellent restaurants aplenty. For an extra special end to the day, take a trip to the Thermal Springs of Terme di Sirmione – they’re particularly beautiful at dusk and just 5 miles away. 

Lakeshore Tulips

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.


Sunshine Square

Set on the banks of Lake Garda, this villa is as close to the water as you can get. And there’s no better place to soak up the views than from the private pool or on the dining terrace. Inside, a family or group of friends have plenty of space to spread out, and the kitchen is well-appointed for those who like to cook. While the bedrooms are comfortable, it’s worth noting there aren’t any bedside tables or reading lights. Keen to explore? The charming town of Lazise is a short drive away. 

Glorious Garda

Located just a ten-minute walk from Soiano, on the shores of beautiful Lake Garda, this villa is ideally suited for exploring the towns in the area. You'll find sandy beaches just 4km away, as well as the Garda Golf Centre 2km from your door. It's also a great destination for hikers and cyclists after scenic trails along the lake. With a large garden, complete with a swimming pool, sun terrace, shaded dining area and play area for the kids, the home offers complete privacy and space to stretch out. Inside, there are also plenty of bright and spacious living areas to relax, with one double bedroom having access to a private balcony overlooking the idyllic surroundings. 

Woods & Waters

We think this archetypal, classically elegant, and effortlessly chic holiday villa nestled on a hillside along the western shores of iconic Lake Garda is the perfect place for those looking to immerse themselves in the true Italian 'dolce vita'. Boasting loads of traditional features – including authentic wooden shutters, ornately carved balconies offering spellbinding views over the lake and mountains beyond, and high ceilings that bring the warm and inviting interior spaces to life – this beguiling villa provides you with a special base for an unforgettable break.

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?

Swing Salò

Set within the boundary wall of the Botanical Gardens, this villa has peace and tranquillity at its core. With all of the bedrooms on the upper floor, it’s not the best choice for those who struggle with stairs, but it’s a comfortable home with all the mod-cons you could wish for. The Mediterranean gardens and private pool offer a little slice of solitude to soak up the sun, and with the ferry dock just a short walk away, you can be out on the lake exploring the local area in no time. 

The Green Retreat

Set on the second floor of an apartment building right next to Lake Garda’s shoreline, this two-bedroom home offers both beauty and comfort. The beauty is the most obvious – the stunning view of the lake is undeniable, and it’s front-and-centre from the living room and the private balcony. In terms of comfort, this home has got you covered too – a full kitchen, a spacious bathroom, and a communal pool come together to make this place a true gem. Plus, there’s private garage parking for two cars here as well.

Linger by the Lakefront

With a view across to Lake Garda, this period villa is a grand place to stay during a trip to Northern Itay. Whether you're planning some serious relaxation or need a base for your adventures, it's a great option for groups excited to enjoy the very best of this fabulous region. 

Strolling up the palm-lined walkway to the crescent portico entrance when you arrive is a splendid experience and sets the tone for the rest of your stay. The luxurious design continues inside, with antique furniture, glittering chandeliers, and even stained glass details. You'll love serving up delicious home-cooked feasts in the elegant dining room – it's impossible to imagine a more fitting place for a lavish dinner party. And, outside you'll find a sparkling swimming pool where you can enjoy a refreshing dip on hot afternoons. 

You can wander through Desenzano del Garda to the shores of Lake Garda in under ten minutes, to admire the crystal clear waters and mountain backdrop. Foodies will find plenty of charming restaurants nearby, serving up family favourites cooked using local ingredients, while history fans can visit the Antiquarium, just a fifteen-minute walk away. And, if you fancy a day trip, you can drive to the ancient city of Verona in just forty minutes. 

Light of the Chandelier

Nestled along the banks of Lake Garda, between tall trees and manicured hedges, this charming apartment is a wonderful choice for your Italian getaway. With a private garden, communal swimming pool, and enchanting lake views, it ticks all the boxes for a gorgeous stay.

Cloaked in local materials and Italian touches, the apartment is wonderfully homely. Every corner celebrates the culture of the region, with terracotta tiles and hand-painted plates, providing a space that becomes so much more than a holiday apartment. You’ll love preparing meals in the folksy kitchen before tucking in around the outdoor dining table, soaking in the views.

There’s a lot to love about this apartment, but the view nips it. Whether you’re on sipping coffee on the bench, lounging by the communal pool, or savouring cocktails at sunset around the outdoor sofa, the lake view is a beautiful constant. To see it up close yourself, take the short walk down to the pebbly beach and take swims in the crystal clear waters.

When it comes to exploring, you’re on the northeast side of the lake, close to the peaceful village of Torri del Benaco. Embrace a slower pace of life full of lakeside strolls, wine-filled afternoons, and fresh food from the markets. You can also take a day trip to the setting of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, the city of Verona – it’s around 20 miles away. 

Depths of Joy

Surrounded by gardens and with an outdoor lounge, pristine pool and alfresco dining area, this impressive villa is a great spot for those wanting to enjoy a memorable retreat on Lake Garda. Perfect for a family or group of friends, it’s the ideal home for laidback trips and celebrations alike. The designs are minimal but inviting, with plenty of indoor space for downtime. There’s a barbecue for grilled Italian feasts on the patio, though you’ll also find Solarolo’s local restaurants and bars within walking distance. Lake Garda’s beaches and Porto di Dusano marina are also nearby, so you couldn’t ask for a better location. 

Pastels & Pools

Nestled within the rolling vineyards of the Valtenesi region, this 17th-century home has worn many hats – monastery, winery, private residence, and now a rental retreat. Outside, you’ll find a 25-metre pool, scenic spots for relaxing or dining alfresco, and a hammock strung between the trees. Inside, historic charm meets contemporary living – think soft linens, exposed stone walls, and a sleek kitchen. There’s even a gym in the cellar. Whether you’re here for the wine, nature, or golfing, this spot makes it all feel effortless.
