Description
Villa Imperatore is a stunning home, sitting in extensive grounds which lead down to a small beach on Lake Garda. Designed by a highly-regarded 20th-century architect and owned by a Venetian noble family, this is a tranquil base for a beautiful lakeside holiday.
The villa can sleep up to ten people across four boutique en-suite bedrooms, one of which has an adjoining room with sofa bed which would be ideal for children. The home has been modernised and redecorated recently and is a perfect blend of old and new with high-end furnishings and air conditioning alongside antiques and period features with a nod to 1950s design. The living spaces have been lovingly decorated and are great for spending time with friends or family; over a meal in the quirky circular dining room or snuggling up for a film in the lounge.
The living areas and the bedrooms all lead out onto balconies or terraces to make the most of the amazing views of the grounds and of course the lake itself. The vast garden wraps around the house and is made up of parkland, olive groves and places to sit and relax in the sun! From the villa, you can walk through the garden down to a small beach on the lake which would make for a gorgeous place to enjoy your morning coffee with a view. Guests staying at the villa can also pay to use the pool and spa facilities at a nearby hotel just a few minutes' walk away.
The villa is located on the picturesque peninsula of Sirmione, jutting out onto Lake Garda. As well as lovely views of the water, you are able to enjoy the many historic sights in the area such as the famous medieval castle and the ruins of the Grotto of Catullus, a Roman Villa built in the 1st Century BC. Sirmione is also home to a great selection of shops, cafes, restaurants and lakeside beaches.
A great way to see a bit more of the area is to take a boat trip on the lake, from Sirmione you can take trips to a number of other places including Punta San Vigilio which is said to have the best swimming spots and views on the lake or Bardolino which is well-known for its wine and has lots of charming places to eat, drink and shop in the old town centre and along the lakeside promenade.
