This charming apartment is one with a long history. The building started out life as a winery in the early 1900s, but given the spectacular location and lake views, the owner decided to make a home out of it. The production of wine continued in the cellar while the owner lived here, and the apartment’s rosé hues pay homage to its wine-entwined past. Not only is the building impressive for its history, but also its classic touches – the original wrought iron railings and marble stairs remain. As first impressions go, this is a pretty good one. And when stepping inside the home, you won’t be disappointed. It’s a cheerful space, sleek yet homely. A large window takes full advantage of the view – you’ll love tucking into your breakfast around the table with the fresh air billowing in.

Come back home to spend evenings under the stars before treating yourself to an indulgent soak in the clawf...

Plus, from the quaint little harbour, boats and water taxis leave to the other scenic towns that dot the shore. The first thing that grabs you as soon as you step inside is the view from the living area’s big windows. The vista of red-roofed houses leading to the shores of Lake Garda takes pride of place as if it’s a work of art hanging on the wall.

Nestled in Cecina village, where rolling green hills form an enviable backdrop, this villa lies only minutes from the famous Lake Garda.
