Villa Mansarda

Overview

Escape to a wonderful oasis at Villa Mansarda, a beautiful, privately owned villa nestled in the hills above the pretty town of Malcesine. Made up of 3 independent apartments, the villa is a classic Italian family home and offers spectacular lake views!

Offering the best of both worlds, the villa is peacefully perched on the hill top, offering tranquility and a perfect place to sit back and relax and watch the lights glisten on the lake.

Location

The town of Malcesine is close to Villa Mansarda and is around a 15 minute walk. Please be aware the villa is hillside so the walk back to the house is quite steep and uphill.

A car is not essential here although we highly recommend one. Malcesine offers all the essential and non-essential services including supermarket, shops and plenty of restaurants. If you do have a vehicle, there is parking within the villa grounds.

Villa Mansarda is located on the north east coast of Lake Garda, close to Riva del Garda in the north (17km) and Garda (27km) and Peschiera (53km) in the south. It’s a great base for exploring Lake Garda, particularly the north. Malcesine also has a well-connected ferry port for easy access to other areas around Lake Garda.
