Casa Delle Arche

The villa

Wake up to the sunlight glistening on Lake Garda, the smell of fresh coffee filling the room and the gentle Italian breeze rustling in the trees. What better way to start your day in Northern Italy?

Casa delle Arche is a luxury villa, that has recently been built in the eco - modern style. It takes full advantage of its perfectly positioned perch, overlooking Lake Garda with full - length windows that invite the breathtaking views into each room.

The five - bedroom villa accommodates 10 guests and is split over two levels. The ground floor is where all of the living spaces are, as well as an en - suite bedroom, utility area and another bathroom. As you wind up the stairs, you are greeted by even more beautiful views over Lake Garda, as well as the four remaining bedrooms, all of which are doubles, as well as two family bathrooms.

Three of the bedrooms are very spacious and together with the cosiness of the other two small ones welcome a restful slumber. The four upstairs bedrooms all have large glass doors to the patio, with an uninterrupted lake vista, while the downstairs bedroom leads out onto the garden, with an equally as beautiful view of the lake.

The living spaces are open plan, offering plenty of space for the whole family to gather and share meals and movie nights. It’s the finer details that make a real difference, and this villa has those well and truly covered. From a Nespresso machine to satisfy your morning caffeine fix to a safe for any valuables.

With an unforgettable view, it’s no surprise this villa takes full advantage of the outdoor area. Begin the day with breakfast at the outdoor dining table and spend your afternoons swimming or catching some sun in the private pool - all the while, overlooking the lake. There’s also a large private terraced garden, complete with olive trees - in other words, the perfect spot to sit back with a good book and some local wine.

This villa is located in the exclusive residential area of Gardone Riviera, which has a reputation as one of the most romantic villages of Lake Garda. The lake sits down below and is just a short walk away, so evenings can be spent revelling in nature or enjoying the fine cuisines of the restaurants in the area. It takes around 20 minutes to walk to the heart of the village.

It’s the perfect home away from home in a serene location.

This villa sits at the end of a winding private road through the woods, offering a private getaway. It’s nestled in the exclusive residential area of Gardone Riviera, a charming village on the Western shores of Lake Garda. There’s plenty to see and do, as well as spots to eat and drink at, near the villa.

If you’re looking to entertain yourselves with some cultural experiences, there are museums in the area: Mausolea Di Gabriele D’Annunzio is nearby as well as Fondazione Museo II Divino. If you want to tantalise your taste buds with local cuisine, there are lovely restaurants in the area. 

Gardone Riviera is an idyllic getaway, with cobblestone streets and beautiful architecture filling this small tourist resort. It sits on the western shore of Lake Garda and has stunning sites from the Isola del Garda park and gardens to the Giardino Botanico Fondazione André Heller botanic gardens.

Lake Garda is a must - visit spot, and it sits just a short walk from the villa. Spend the day on the water canoeing, sailing or stand up paddle boarding. Or stick to land and go mountain biking or wandering through the wilderness.

This area is conveniently located near some of Lake Garda’s most popular towns and villages, like Salò, a spot that has the charm and tranquillity of a small village, with the amenities of a town. It also has one of the longest promenades along Lake Garda, so it’s a wonderful spot to explore.

Slightly further afield, around an hour’s drive away (or boat ride!), is Sirmione, (40km away) a must visit spot around the lake that is renowned for thermal baths and the stunning Rocca Scaligera, a must - see medieval castle overlooking the lake.
