Villa Serendipità

Description

Villa Serendipità is a belle epoque villa, protected as a historic monument, in the most exclusive area of Lake Garda. Situated on its own granite foundation, the estate commands breathtaking, panoramic views of Lake Garda, town of Gardone Riviera, and the mountains. Excellent restaurants and local family farms are within a 5- minute walking distance. The 150 sqm-villa, 40-sqm-detached cottage, and 1,500-sqm-garden provide peaceful, relaxing, and luxurious accommodations for up to seven guests. Previous vacationers describe villa and estate as “heavenly”. Your vacation will also be unforgettable.

The first floor of the villa consists of a living and dining room with views of the lake, the modern kitchen newly renovated in 2019, and a guest bathroom. The second floor has three well-appointed bedrooms, also with spectacular lake views. Two bedrooms have double beds (1.6 x 2m) and one has a single bed. All bedrooms are air conditioned. Early risers can enjoy the sunrise from the bed. Two full bathrooms are on the second floor, the small bathroom with shower being newly renovated in 2018.

The separate, air-conditioned cottage on the property offers a double bedroom suite with separate living room and full bathroom. A fitness cross-trainer is downstairs, offering training opportunities with garden view.

The garden presents 180° views over the lake and Gardone Riviera. Cypress, palm, olive, and fig trees provide shade. The terrace with an exquisite Italian marble table can seat 8 people and has the morning sun and afternoon shade. The garden wicker sets and lounge chairs provide comfortable seating to enjoy the panoramic lake view and delightful scent of flowers. The highlight of the garden is the lake-side end of the garden, where you can enjoy the sunset and cocktails with friends and family.

The villa was recently acquired and newly renovated and furnished. The careful treatment of the listed villa is our top priority, and so our renovations have preserved the villa's historic character. We consider it a special family home and welcome guests who appreciate its unique charm.

The lake and mountains nearby offer numerous possibilities for outdoor activities such as swimming, walking, hiking, boating, kite and wind surfing, and mountain biking. Villa Serendipità has no pool but is a 10-minute (800 m) walk from a public beach. A private beach club with admission fee is 1.3 km away. We provide portable lounge and upright chairs for the beach. The villa is a 3-minute walk from the Vittoriale Degli Italiani and a 10-minute walk from the Botanical Gardens.

The narrow access road ensures absolute peace and privacy. Parking is available on the grounds for several cars. Guests have unrestricted use of the villa, cottage, and gardens.

Gardone Riviera was the playground of the rich and powerful during the late 19th and early 20th century. It was also the home of the poet and dramatist Gabriele d' Annunzio, whose estate Il Vittoriale attracts visitors from all over the world. Gardone is known for its unusually mild micro-climate, beautiful gardens, quaint winding streets and houses, and top restaurants. It is a popular vacation destination all year round. Gardone Riviera has been awarded by the European Environment Foundation EEF the blue flag for excellent performance in environmental work for the fourth time running. Already since 2010 Gardone can boast this visible symbol for its water quality, its considerate treatment of nature and its commitment to the protection of the environment.
