Casa Bougainvillea

The villa

When you picture an idyllic Italian villa, an image of a Bougainvillea lined home comes to light, with shutters and lush greenery, balconies with a view and images of Romeo and Juliet. That is exactly what this villa looks like; it’s the quintessential Italian home away from home, with plenty of space for the whole group to relax.

As you walk into the villa you’re greeted by a bright and airy home with seven bedrooms that are spread over three floors. There is an en - suite master bedroom on the first floor with a beautiful balcony that has a stunning lake vista. On the upper floor there are six rooms, a mixture of singles and doubles with some in the attic under sloping wooden ceilings.

The kitchen is cozy and an ideal place to cook up a feast full of local treats. There are all the bells and whistles here, including a Nespresso coffee machine and large American - style fridge. Meals can be enjoyed in the dining room that is flooded with light thanks to the large windows that surround the room; guests can sit together around the large table, sharing tales of the day. Meals can also be enjoyed alfresco, while gazing at the views of the lake.

The dining room leads into the living area, which has comfortable couches perfect for some downtime or a movie night on the Smart television, which has Netflix streaming. The living area opens onto the balcony that has a beautiful lake vista - it’s the perfect place for a morning coffee or evening vino.

The outdoor area is a lush oasis, set amongst the trees and flowers. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a meal, and even cook one on the barbecue. There is a new above ground pool, built in 2025 and available from early May, along with an outdoor kitchen, porch with table for 15 people.

This beautiful Italian villa is just a 5 - minute stroll away from a supermarket, bakery, restaurants and bars. It’s also near Barbarano beachfront centre with a restaurant, tennis court, swimming pool and beach. The centre of Salò, which offers everything you need from museums and theatres to shops and restaurants, is under a five - minute drive away.

Casa Bougainvillea is located near the town of Salò, and sits nestled on a hillside looking over Lake Garda. Salò is situated on the western side of Lake Garda and it’s a spot that offers great amenities such as a theatre and designer shops but with the charm and tranquillity of a small town. It has a prime location, near all that Lake Garda has to offer. You can be wandering around the cobblestone streets, marvelling in the historic architecture and enjoying local delicacies in no time.

Nearer the villa is a gorgeous hamlet just outside the town of Salò. It offers a beautiful beach, bars, restaurants and other useful amenities. You are also a short walk away from Rimbalzello, a beachfront centre where you can live the life of luxury, whether you are relaxing at the restaurant or bar, swimming in the pool or ocean or enjoying a game on the tennis court.

Gardone Riviera, a pretty lakeside town, is also near the villa and you can be enjoying the beautiful streets within a 15 - minute walk. There’s plenty to do here, such as the Rimbalzello Adventure park, André Heller botanical gardens and former writer’s home of Gabriele d'Annunzio. Isola del Garda, an island with parks and a garden is also accessible from this town.

This villa is in a good location because it is convenient for a lot of other places to enjoy in the Lake Garda region. Take a day trip to the popular spot of Sirmione, within an hour’s drive or boat trip and you can enjoy the town’s thermal baths, medieval castle and archaeological site (33km). Or drive just over an hour in the other direction and explore Malcesine and its pretty little medieval town centre that clusters around the stunning castle with picturesque views of the lake (60km).
