Location:

Villa Medusa resides a short distance from Gardone Riviera, one of the most picturesque villages in Italy. Overlooking Lake Garda, the property boasts a leafy 1.5-hectare garden, a warm-Mediterranean climate, and knee-wobbling views.

In town, gorgeous belle epoque-era buildings house gourmet restaurants and delightful waterfront bars. Plus, there are a plethora of intriguing historical sites to peruse.

The Brescia Airport is a 30-minute drive away.

Property:

This spacious, 600m2 villa is a fully renovated historic lakeside mansion, jam-packed with top-end appliances and sleek designer furnishings. The three-storey building houses three well-appointed bedrooms, each with comfy king-sized beds, roomy walk-in wardrobes, and sparkling en-suite bathrooms. The fourth bedroom is in the basement and it offers a French bed for one adult or two children.

The massive open-plan living room features floor-to-ceiling windows to soak up those spectacular Lake Garda views. Cushy beige linen couches, striking modern art, and a huge flat-screen TV gives you cause to linger indoors.

Attached is an elegant eight-seater dining set (with the same amazing views) and an ultramodern, semi-professional kitchen full of prestigious Gaggenau appliances. Work-a-holics can clock extra hours in the well-equipped study room.

Down in the basement, you’ll find a well-stocked games room (fancy a round of pool?)

Pool & Facilities:

The property’s pièce de résistance is its shimmering 25-metre infinity pool, which blends like a mirage into the lake below. An integrated Jacuzzi offers a scenic spot to soak, and there’s a sophisticated sheltered lounge and outdoor dining set nearby.

In cooler weather, the traditional wood-panel sauna is perfect for a steamy session. Sporty types can sweat it out in the fitness room, which also affords breathtaking views.

Beach info:

Gardone Riviera has a slew of scenic swimming spots, the best of which is the gorgeous Spiaggia Gardoneriviera.
