Why we love this villa

Villa Golfo is one of those special Lake Garda villas that gets the three things guests ask for most just right: lake access, a modern comfortable home, and the ease of being able to walk into town.

• You have that front-row feeling – less than a minute and you’re at the water, so lake time becomes part of everyday villa life.
• The interiors are modern, light-filled and built around the view, with floor-to-ceiling glass on the main living level
• You can do Salò evenings on foot, then come back to quiet, privacy and the pool terrace

Perfect for

• Families who want modern comfort, lake time, and the option to walk to restaurants
• Friends’ trips where you’ll spend the day on the lake or by the pool, then head into Salò for an evening out
• Guests who want lake access and views, but prefer a contemporary villa to a traditional one
• A week where one chef evening at the villa feels like the easiest highlight night

Feel free to share your dates and priorities and we’ll confirm availability and advise on the best fit.

Overview

Sitting on the shores of Lake Garda, Villa Golfo is a modern private villa overlooking the Gulf of Salò, with access to the beach and wonderful lake views from the main living spaces.

The villa is arranged over two levels and is designed as two independent living areas that can work brilliantly for families or friends travelling together, while still feeling like one connected home (linked by internal and external staircases).

The main living space is on the ground floor, where floor-to-ceiling windows bring in the light and the lake. The lounge and dining area open onto the patio, which is set up for relaxed outdoor meals with a large gas barbecue and lake views. The modern kitchen is fully equipped, and this level also includes one of the double bedrooms.

Upstairs you’ll find a second lounge area with a small kitchenette, plus two further double bedrooms. One of these has an en-suite bathroom and lake views, while the other has lake views and opens onto the terrace. The upstairs living area also includes a double sofa bed for the seventh and eighth guests.

Outside, the gardens are beautifully kept and the private pool terrace is an easy place to spend the day – and when you want the lake itself, it’s just a stone’s throw to the beach.

Location

Overlooking the Gulf of Salò, Villa Golfo is in a prime position for exploring the western shore, with access to the beach and Salò within walking distance.

Salò is one of Lake Garda’s best towns for an evening out, with a wonderful lakeside promenade stretching for almost 3km – the only one of its kind on the lake. The start of the Salò promenade and beaches are around a 15-minute walk away, with the centre and ferry port around a 30-minute walk along the lake.

Portese is also within walking distance and offers a selection of excellent local restaurants.

Both Portese and Salò have ferry ports, which is one of the simplest ways to explore more of Lake Garda without driving. If you’re planning to use the ferries, our Lake Garda ferry guide is a helpful starting point.

Although the villa is walkable for restaurants and the lake, a vehicle is still recommended for flexibility.

Just 30 minutes drive from the main A4 Milan-Venice motorway, Villa Golfo is about a 1 hour drive from both Milan Bergamo Airport and Verona Airport.

Private chef experiences

Villa Golfo is very well suited to a private chef evening, with the main kitchen, lake-facing patio and outdoor dining setup making it easy to enjoy dinner at home.

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

It works especially well here because you can spend the day by the lake or pool, then stay at the villa for dinner without giving up the view or the atmosphere.
