The luxurious Villa Valtènesi estate is located in one of the oldest towns around Lake Garda – in medieval Calvagese della Riviera, in the heart of the Valtènesi wine region. Here, tradition and modernity come together in a unique combination – the historic monastery has been transformed with the utmost care and fine design standards into a dreamlike country villa with state-of-the-art technology.
The newly designed park-like garden takes up the culinary theme of fruit and herb cultivation as well as beautiful olive trees. A romantic pergola, fragrant plants and individual retreats perfectly complement the garden design. Unique activity zones invite guests to engage in health-oriented exercise. Guests can enjoy the breathtaking 25 m pool, the professional putting green, the stylish fitness room and the sports field surrounded by beautiful olive trees, and the villa has been extensively renovated to preserve its original character and now shines in rustic-chic splendor.
The beautiful house and estate was created in the 17th century in the middle of the Valtènesi wine-growing area. For centuries, the property served as a monastery, residence and winery, and more recently for many years as a highly regarded gourmet restaurant.
GARDEN
Indulge in luxury among olive trees, a 25m pool and stunning views into vineyards and mountains. Enjoy your own private oasis with our luxurious villa, where the house and garden blend together seamlessly. The indoor-outdoor flow is perfect for entertaining guests or simply relaxing and enjoying the natural beauty of the surroundings.
Villa and garden form a unit like heart and soul. Golfers love the putting green, triathletes love the 25-metre pool, gourmets love the teppanyaki, relaxation-seekers love the huge rotating “sun shells”, onward travellers love the two XXL camper van pitches, active people love the table tennis, boccia and playing field, nature lovers love the native fruit and olive trees and the modelled terminal moraine hills. Everyone loves and enjoys the 5,000 m2 area in their own individual way.
