Set in unspoiled mountain countryside with views over the forest and peaks, this old, stone farmhouse makes a wonderful retreat, far away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. The house has been beautifully restored to combine modern comforts without destroying the original features and architecture.
Spread over 2 floors, the house sleeps 8 people in comfort. On the ground floor is a spacious living area with flagstone floors and lovely wooden beamed ceilings. This room is the heart of the house, with comfortable armchairs, a large wooden dining table for communal meals, and an open-plan kitchen. The kitchen is well-equipped with a large gas range, oven, dishwasher, American fridge/freezer and coffee machine, plus antique storage cupboards and a large, wood-burning hearth.
The living room has a piano, chess set and even a telescope for star gazing at the clear alpine skies. Two double glass doors lead out from the room directly into the gardens.
The outside space has also been carefully thought out with a BBQ, dining table and chairs for meals al fresco, sun loungers and large parasols.

Location
The farmhouse is in hilly countryside between Lake Garda (30 minutes) and the less-known lakes of d’Iseo (1 hour) and d’Idro (30 minutes). The area is perfect for people in search of peace and tranquillity. There are multiple hiking and mountain bike tracks for people who want to get out into unspoiled nature. Whilst the house encourages guests to relax, read and chat in the gardens, under the chestnut trees.
Whilst the location is remote, the towns of Lake Garda are within easy reach. Salo (40 minutes) has a large Saturday market, with plenty of shops and excellent restaurants, plus the MU SA museum. Gardone Riviera (45 minutes) also makes a great day trip. Lovers of art and history can visit the famous \"Vittoriale degli Italiani\" home of Gabriele D’Annunzio.
The closest international airports are Milan Bergamo and Verona Valeria Catullo both are 1 hour 25 minutes by car.
