Villa la Torretta

Features

• A great villa (recently completed) with a great view
• Splendid location with private pool

Description

An independent villa set in a mature garden (about 1600 m2 ) of lawns, shrubs and olive trees, the villa is well located in a quiet and pretty no-through-road. A tennis court and bowls are available to hillside residents, whilst residents of Villa Torretta have their own private pool (12m x 6m) with ample sun terraces and pool furniture. Swimming pools in this area are open from June through September.

At the front of the villa is a substantial veranda with delightful views over treetops and across the lake. Ample garden furniture is provided, including two relaxing, shady garden swings. A barbecue area is situated at the side of the house outside the kitchen where there is another pleasant terrace.

Full of character, Villa Torretta was built over 30 years ago and retains its old-fashioned Moresque charm but was renovated to the highest standards in 2004 making it a wonderful rental proposition for large groups looking for an ideal family or group vacation in an interesting area.

The villa sleeps up to 16 guests in 7 bedrooms, however the prices shown are for a 10 person occupancy and supplements are payable for further guests.

Desenzano

Lake Garda, whose waters are famed for their transparency, is the largest in Italy and was much loved by Virgil, Catullus and Goethe. The town of Desenzano is the largest and liveliest in the south of Lake Garda; its central picturesque piazza is situated on a cobbled pedestrian walk that winds its way around the contour of the lake, providing a wonderful opportunity to experience the daily passeggiata and inspiring views up the lake. Conveniently close to the main motorway and railway that connects Milan and Venice, it is a great base from which to explore the North of Italy. > more
