Villa Minerva
Lake Garda, Toscolano MadernoOverview
Villa Minerva is a prestigious estate, nestled in 5 acres of wonderful parkland overlooking fabulous Lake Garda. Immerse yourself in nature, relax by the pool, soak in the views – this villa offers it all and is just a few minutes drive away from the lake shore, making it a great choice for a villa stay in the Italian Lakes.
Set in the hills between Toscolano Maderno and Gargnano, the villa is in the small village of Cecina and is within easy walking distance to the village’s two restaurants and small grocery store. Venture 5 minutes or so by car and you’ll be in the popular lakeside town of Toscolano, offering great beaches and a selection of restaurants, bars and shops.
Divided into three areas (a large apartment with 6 bedrooms and two studio apartments), Villa Minerva is a fantastic choice for families or friends travelling together. The villa accommodates up to 18 guests over 8 double bedrooms. The first floor is host to 4 double rooms with views over the gardens; on the second floor, there are 2 bright and spacious double rooms with views of the lake and these both have air conditioning and ensuite bathroom; the two studio apartments are located on the first and second floor respectively, both with double bedrooms, air conditioning and ensuite bathrooms. These also boast lovely views over the lake and grounds of the villa.
The kitchen is on the ground floor and is equipped with all major and minor appliances. There are also two small kitchens located in the two studio apartments.
Our favourite feature of Villa Minerva is the wonderful porch and barbecue area. There is both a stone bbq and gas cooker making this a great place to dine al-fresco and while away the warm Italian evenings.
The villa has a lovely private swimming pool, an excellent spot for all-day fun or even just a quick dip before dinner and is complete with sunloungers and hammocks. It’s also surrounded by 5 acres of gardens, complete with olive grove and pond, making Villa Minerva a great choice for kids and pets alike.

Beautiful, huge olive garden offers space for various outdoor games, but also places to retreat.
The two well-equipped kitchens are very spacious and two dishwashers for 18 people made work much easier.
Our contact person Novella Battani was always available and answered all questions quickly and competently.
We can only recommend this property! The pool is a bit small for the possible number of guests. Furthermore: The water was very heavily chlorinated.Translated from German

The property had 8 bedrooms, 8 baths/toilets, it was easy to give different familiy members one “private” part of the house, still easy to get together and share the meals in well equipped kitchens. It was a huge property which allowed us to have several kinds of activities.
The location was in the hill overlooking Lake Garda. Google directed us (upon the address we entered) to access the property from south. This turned out to be a “mistake” due to narrow streets and impossible to get there. We had the electricity go out several times, then the gate didn’t go up and we had to struggle to get outside the property to turn the fuses back on. The swimming pool was fine, however little too small to match the house and the garden… -
Very nice place to stay on the incredibly large property. We felt very comfortable. The property is a bit remote, but very very quiet. Two restaurants in Cecina are within minutes walking distance. For shopping or bakers to Toscolana-Maderno, it is clearly further: 3 km by bike, by car a few kilometers more, as it is impossible to drive by car through the narrow streets of Cecina. We are beautifully and romantically sitting in front of the house in the evening in a large group (15 people), in the rain also very nice in the outdoor kitchen. The property is completely enclosed with a high wall and is a dream with the many olive trees.
