Villa Saffron

Overview

Villa Saffron is prestigious villa, nestled in the hills above Toscolano Maderno. Thanks to its location, it offers some of the most spectacular, panoramic views over Lake Garda and is surrounded by ancient olive trees and beautifully landscaped gardens.

The quaint hamlet of Gaino is just a few minutes walk away and has a lovely traditional restaurant offering some great local dishes and an impressive wine menu.

This wonderful home offers elegant features and maintains many of its original, historical details and accommodates up to 10 guests across 4 beautiful bedrooms. Each bedroom has a private bathroom with shower or bathtub and two of the bedrooms have their own terrace with stunning views over the lake.

Built facing the lake, the living area offers a bright panoramic living room with piano, a billiard room and a beautiful dining room still with the original Venetian floors.

There’s a dining area both inside and out and is perfect for a spot of al-fresco dining. There’s a barbecue too, great for some summer grilling.

One of our favourite features is the jacuzzi in the garden – it’s a wonderful place to relax and gaze out at the lake and mountains beyond. The private swimming pool boasts panoramic views and can be heated during the cooler months.

The villa gardens take full advantage of the beautiful scenery and wonderful views of Lake Garda; with fabulous flower beds, immaculately kept lawns as well as ancient olive trees that still produce a wonderful DOP extra virgin olive oil…certainly worth a taste.

Location

Villa Saffron is an exclusive hillside villa and is around 3km away from the town of Toscolano Maderno. The hamlet of Gaino is a short walk away and does have a great restaurant but you will need a vehicle here. There is parking within the villa grounds.

There is a helicopter service available for stays at this villa – it’s the ultimate sightseeing experience and a wonderful way to travel from the airport. The helicopter can land in the garden of the villa and car hire can be arranged for you to collect directly when you arrive.

The villa is located on the south west coast of Lake Garda above the town of Toscolano Maderno. It is a great base for exploring Lake Garda and ferries leave the port here regularly, making for a great way to visit other towns around the lake. There is the car ferry too which is a lovely alternative to reach the east coast of Lake Garda.

Villa Saffron is just over a 1 hour drive from both Milan Bergamo and Verona airports.
