• Stunning lake views from the main living level and bedrooms

• A short walk to Rimbalzello (beach club, tennis, pool and a beachfront restaurant)
• Outdoor kitchen terrace with dining for 15, plus barbecue
• Private pool with sun loungers
• Air conditioning in all bedrooms

Why we love this villa

Fiordisole has that “real Lake Garda villa” feeling – historic character, generous rooms and views that stay with you – but it’s been updated in all the ways that matter for an easy modern stay.

• The walkability is a genuine advantage here, especially for groups who don’t want to drive every evening
• The outdoor kitchen terrace is made for long dinners at home, with the lake in front of you
• There’s space to spread out, with extra rooms for reading, games and quiet time

Perfect for

• Groups and multi-generation families who want space and privacy, but still want to be able to walk out for the lake and dinner
• Celebrations where terrace dinners and pool time are central to the week
• Guests who love classic Italian character, but want modern comfort and an updated feel
• A week split between easy villa days and ferry days from Gardone Riviera

Overview

Villa Fiordisole is a beautiful historic villa typical of this part of the lake, set in a large terraced private park overlooking the water. It has been recently renovated with refreshed interiors that blend traditional Italian style with modern convenience, and it’s unusually well placed for a villa of this scale: you’re only a short walk from the lake, services and the waterfront.

The villa is arranged over three levels. The ground floor holds the “extra space” that makes a difference for groups – including a games room, reading room, studio and a guest bathroom – so the house feels easy to live in with everyone under one roof.

The first floor is the heart of the villa and where the lake views really come into their own. Here you’ll find the large kitchen, a bright panoramic living room with wide windows, and a dining room overlooking the lake. This floor also hosts the spacious master bedroom, with a terrace facing the water.

Upstairs, the remaining six bedrooms are spread across two areas including an attic level. All bedrooms have air conditioning and lake views, and the layout naturally creates a little separation between rooms, which works very well for larger groups.

Outside, the villa’s outdoor kitchen terrace sits to the side of the house with a dining table for 15 and a barbecue — the sort of set-up that makes terrace dinners feel effortless. The pool is ideal for cooling off between lake days and long lunches at home, and the terraced gardens give you plenty of space to spread out and take in the views.

Location

Villa Fiordisole is in Barbarano di Salò, just a short walk to the lake, bars, restaurants and useful amenities.

You are also within easy reach of Rimbalzello, a popular lakeside centre with a restaurant, tennis courts, swimming pool and beach.

The start of the lakeside promenade of Gardone Riviera is around 500m away, where you’ll find lakeside cafés and restaurants, plus the ferry port – one of the simplest ways to explore Lake Garda without driving.

A vehicle isn’t essential for stays here thanks to the walkable setting, but it is recommended for flexibility. The property has parking inside the gates for up to 5 cars.

The villa is approximately one hour’s drive from both Milan Bergamo Airport and Verona Airport.

Good to know

Villa Fiordisole is a historic villa arranged over three floors, with terraced gardens, so it is best suited to guests comfortable with stairs.

The private pool is compact, at approximately 6m x 3.2m, and is better suited to cooling off and family pool time than serious lap swimming.

The pool sits within the villa’s terraced hillside gardens and is reached via steps. Families with young children should be aware of the changes in level around the outside areas and supervise children closely.

All bedrooms have independent air conditioning.

Wi-Fi and laundry facilities are available.

Private parking is available inside the gates for up to 5 cars.

A car is not essential for day-to-day stays thanks to the walkable location, although we recommend one for shopping and exploring more of the lake.

Experiences

Fiordisole is a lovely base for a “walkable week” on the lake: an easy morning coffee on the terrace, a stroll to the water, and the option to hop on a ferry from Gardone Riviera for a day across the lake.

For groups, we often suggest one standout plan and then plenty of time at the villa – pre-stocking so arrival feels effortless, a relaxed boat day, or a simple in-villa cooking experience that suits multi-generation trips.

Private Chef Experiences

Villa Fiordisole is very well suited to a private chef evening, with the outdoor kitchen and covered dining terrace creating an easy setting for a larger group to eat together.

Depending on the kind of evening you have in mind, we can suggest trusted local chefs for anything from a relaxed family-style dinner to something more tailored for a birthday or special celebration.

With seating for the whole group and the lake views in front of you, it is an easy way to enjoy one memorable evening without anyone needing to drive or organise a large restaurant booking.
