“Grand and charmingly old-fashioned villa hotel with a splendid setting in pretty Sirmione. Lovely lakeside gardens, grand 30s style bedrooms, frescos and antiques. Private swimming jetty and lovely pool. Super romantic, if you like historic charm.”

Hotel Review

High wrought-iron gates protect this lovely 19th-century villa from the trippers who flock to car-free, postcard-pretty Sirmione. The house has a glorious setting in large lakeside gardens, a neoclassical porticoed-façade and an interior, appealing for its quirky, latter-day charm. With parquet in the ‘30s-style bedrooms and marble floors, frescoes and antiques downstairs, little seems to have changed over the decades. Unfortunately this includes the plumbing, which produces boiling or icy water on a whim. Bonuses include a private swimming jetty and gorgeous pool in a sunny spot.
