If this palatial 1700s palazzo, hidden away in the Franciacorta countryside, doesn't say rest and reset, we don't know what else will. Inside, the fresco-adorned rooms may be a little fussy for some – but who wouldn't be wowed by that private pool and century-old garden? With sprawling verandas and countless reception rooms, this home has hosted a fair few weddings and parties in its time. It's surprisingly family-friendly, too, with a play area and flexibility in the bedrooms for children sharing. Location-wise, you're just a stroll from sleepy Bornato. Or, for more bustle, Brescia, with its ancient piazzas, is a few kilometres away. *While not all the bedrooms and bathrooms are photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home. *Well-behaved pets are welcome on request. *Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay, and there is ample space fo...

We could easily spend hours in the rooftop pool, lazily floating in the sunshine with a backdrop of exquisite scenery. After you’ve dried off in the sun, head into the historic centre of Padenghe and enjoy lunch in a trattoria.

Sharing its outdoor pool with just one other apartment, this modern home sits in large gardens, in a quiet spot overlooking the rolling hills – the blue of Lake Garda just visible across the trees. With lovely lawns, old olive trees and plenty of green all around, it's a comfortable and practical home-from-home. Inside, it's a ground floor apartment well suited to family life. Modern in design, its big windows and spacious rooms keep it bright and sociable, with all eyes on the view to the rear. There's a well kitted-out kitchen and a dining table inside, but we think you'll be spending much of your time eating on the covered terrace. After breakfast, head to the gated outdoor pool for a morning of swimming and playing on the trampoline, or hop in your car and you'll be by the lakeshore in a little over five minutes. From your home, it's a short walk into the village of Soiano del Lago, with its grocery shop and ...
As soon as you approach this lovely home's building, you're greeted with a beautiful pond with a fountain and colourful fish – we felt an air of calm straight away. The garden has an even bigger pond – the shared swimming pool is perfect for cooling off in the Italian heat or simply relax with a book on the lounger. Inside the apartment, there are characterful exposed beams and terracotta tiled floors. Another stand-out feature of this home is the main bathroom which has Swarovski crystals set in the furniture and on the washbasin – we do love a bit of bling.
