Beautifully restored apartment in 16th century Palazzo with lake views
We are delighted to a offer you private, self-catering accommodation in our Italian holiday home, a beautifully restored 2 bedroom apartment in this unique historical building.
The building and grounds, including the swimming pool, are run by a local, professionally qualified administrator.
One of the little-known benefits of Il Palazzo is its location.
Set in the hills above Salo, it faces south, or very slightly south-east, meaning it enjoys the rays of the sun from morning until sun-down, with a pleasant breeze in the afternoons. On the hottest days, when temperatures can reach the low forties in the towns down around the lake, the gardens and pool at Il Palazzo enjoy a light breeze and temperatures a few degrees lower than at the lakeside. At night, the apartment is lovely and cool and air-conditioning is simply not needed.
Winters are incredibly mild, and while frost can be found at the bottom of the hill on the coldest mornings, up at Il Palazzo the sun warms the hillside. Last winter, we enjoyed almost three months of bright sunshine every day, with a bit of rain in November and April, and a dusting of snow in December.
It is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with vineyards just below the Palazzo and olive trees in abundance, yet the lake, with its charming street cafe life, designer shops and restaurants, is a short 5 minute drive away, Gardaland and other theme parks are 30 minutes away, the opera house at the Arena di Verona is 40 minutes away, and the designer stores of Milan are just 1 1/4 hours away by train or 1 1/2 hours by car.
The apartment was restored in 2004 and has been stylishly furnished…
The apartment at Il Palazzo offers a true home from home, with every facility for a comfortable stay.
The main entrance leads on to a wide, original marble staircase, opening on to an open plan state of the art kitchen area, with the main bedroom with ensuite and the shower room to the left, and a study area to the right, leading also to a second bedroom and huge living and dining area with open fire. This sofa also opens out to become a double bed. There is a large flat screen television with DVD player and surround sound, plus UK satellite television, and two sets of double glass doors opening onto a private terrace with stunning view of Lake Garda. The dining area, towards the back of the living room, provides seating for six people and a large dining table, complete with chandelier and candlesticks.
Leading off the kitchen is a laundry room, with a washing machine and plenty of room for drying clothes.
The large terrace provides spectacular views of the swimming pool and lake.
The main bedroom has two bedside tables with lamps, a huge wardrobe and looks out over the garden to the front of the property.
The second bedroom is a single, with two bunks. This room is ideal for a single adult or two older children (over 12 only, please). Air-conditioning is not needed.
The swimming pool is open from June to the end of September.
