Monte Pico

Lombardy - Lake Garda - Desenzano

On a private hilly estate with its own gated entrance, sits a lovely country villa, recently built in total respect of the surroundings.

From the swimming pool (shared with the very discrete owners), one looks down over the vineyards to the Lake Garda with its dramatic backdrop of mountains and glacial peaks of the distant Dolomite ranges.

The lively and elegant lakeside town of Desenzano del Garda is nearby and offers summer festivals, fine restaurants, a lively passeggiata in the old part of the village, an internal port, night clubs or just romantic strolls by the lake. Nearby there are many other cosy villages and castles to be explored. The area also boasts two excellent 27 hole golf courses.

Client: The holiday at Monte Pico was fabulous. We were more than satisfied with the standard of accommodation and cleanliness. The Villa itself was beautiful and the owners were very friendly and were only too happy to help out with advice. We would certainly not hesitate in recommending Monte Pico to anybody looking for a holiday in Lake Garda. I would suggest that a little more emphasis be given to the length and gradiant of the driveway in the literature about Monte Pico. If people wish to get Taxis it was necessary for us, on a couple of occasions to walk down to the road, which older people may find difficult. However, I must say that all the Taxi drivers were more than happy to drive you to the door on the way home. Andy B, 10/08/07

Client: We had a wonderful holiday, Monte Pico was such a beautiful place! Paola as well as the owners of the villa were very kind and helped us when we had someproblems, like for example the strike on Milan Malpensa airport..which caused a delay on our flight, and yet we get to stay in Monte Pico until that saturday 28th evening, and that helped us very much! We all fell in love with Italy and the Garda lake area, we also visited Venice, which was a great experience. Thank you very much for all of your services, we have recommended Monte Pico to many people here in Finland. Have a nice summer, Grazie e arrivederci! Milla

This locality

Desenzano

Lake Garda, whose waters are famed for their transparency, is the largest in Italy and was much loved by Virgil, Catullus and Goethe. The town of Desenzano is the largest and liveliest in the south of Lake Garda; its central picturesque piazza is situated on a cobbled pedestrian walk that winds its way around the contour of the lake, providing a wonderful opportunity to experience the daily passeggiata and inspiring views up the lake. Conveniently close to the main motorway and railway that connects Milan and Venice, it is a great base from which to explore the North of Italy.
