About this property

Luxury villa on quiet hillside with stunning views and romantic Olive Grove

Thanks to its exceptional location 270m above Lake Garda, you will experience a view that will inspire you. The villa itself sits on 8.5 hectares of private land and is surrounded by ancient olive and downy oak trees, numerous fruit trees and citrus trees. Away from street noise, you can relax in absolute peace and enjoy a very special holiday with family and friends!

The villa sleeps 12 adults in 6 bedrooms with 5 bathrooms

Main living area:
- Modern country kitchen with induction hobs, refrigerator with ice cube maker, dishwasher, oven, JURA coffee machine and enough crockery for 12 people
A small pantry adjoins the kitchen, in which there is a wine refrigerator and a second refrigerator.

and an open fireplace

- Living area with large couch, TV, books and magazines

- Olive wood bedroom: double bed, 2 single beds possible on request.

- Four poster bedroom: double bed
Own bathroom with bath, shower, bidet, toilet

At the back of the house is the day toilet, a laundry room with a washing machine and a storage room.

The central living room leads directly to the sheltered relaxation terrace with heated whirlpool, sun loungers and an outdoor table made of olive wood for 8 people.

On the upper floor there are 2 more bedrooms and a bathroom.
- Monte Baldo bedroom: 2 single beds and a small terrace overlooking Monte Baldo and the lake.

Outside:
A Finnish sauna, which is heated with wood, is also available to the villa guests. Then relax in the adjoining relaxation room. The sauna can accommodate 4 people (lying down) or 8 people (sitting). The use of the sauna is of course included in the rental price.

The natural swimming pool measures 4x8 meters and is 1.4m deep. A separate regeneration area made of aquatic plants cleans, softens and oxygenates the water, no chlorine needed! The water is therefore very pleasant for sensitive skin and you can enjoy the refreshing water with all your senses - preferably every day!

The large garden of the villa will delight hobby gardeners and plant lovers. From ancient olive trees, native apple and pear trees and fragrant lavender bushes to exotic banana bushes, colorful passion flowers and wild pomegranate trees - you will find this and more on the property. Everything is grown organically and biodynamically, according to old tradition and without any chemical agents. The garden invites you to explore, or you can relax with a good book in one of the many cozy resting spots. Enjoy the indescribable view and refresh yourself with a dip in the natural swimming pond.

The villa and the large garden are exclusively available to you. The homeowners Hildegard and Norbert live about 200m from the villa. They are happy to provide tips and information.

IMPORTANT: The access road to the villa (800m) is steep and not paved. We recommend a four wheel drive car or SUV. A car with a low chassis (some sports cars) is not suitable.

Wonderful villa in spectacular location with very considerate hosts
The villa is in a spectacular location and has been built to a very high standard. The owners are extremely considerate and welcoming without being in any way intrusive. All the facilities were in excellent order and make for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay.

A perfect escape
This is an idyllic house with incredible views of the lake and mountains. Hildegard and Norbert are attentive and generous hosts. We enjoyed the peaceful gardens and the natural produce of fruit and vegetables, honey and olive oil. The house is immaculate and well equipped. It couldn’t have been better. The drive is very steep but our Ford S-Max rental car made it up and down daily. A wonderful and relaxing holiday.

Luxury Villa with Stunning Views over Lake Garda
Villa Castelletto is a superb choice for a Lake Garda vacation. It enjoys stunning views from its hillside location looking down over Castelletto to Lake Garda, and is set in superb landscaped grounds. Private, and reached by its own secluded track, there are several peaceful spots to relax in the extensive grounds overlooking the lake, olive groves or by the natural pool, sauna or hot tub The villa itself is very well-appointed with high quality fixtures and fittings to make your stay enjoyable and stress free – it has absolutely everything you need. The Hofer family provided a warm and friendly welcome, were superb in answering any initial booking enquiries, and are always on hand (discreetly) if you have any issues or want some help with recommendations with local attractions and restaurants. Ideally placed to explore the towns and villages and enjoy the activities around Lake Garda, the opera in Verona, and also venture further afield – Venice was easily drivable on a day trip. Highly recommended.

Wow - Absolutely stunning villa
Probably best to say that our stay at Villa Castelleto vastly exceeded already high expectations. The pictures of the villa give an idea of how the place looks, but only when you are actually there does the full beauty of the place and the surroundings really come to life. So peaceful and relaxing. Villa - Feels much bigger inside than the pictures show. And everything is so clean and modern and new, but still comfortable and done in a traditional style. Three bedrooms, three immaculate bathrooms (and one toilet room on the groundfloor with a urinal!), huge modern kitchen with everything you'd ever need to cook, fireplace, webber bbq grill, wine cellar, laundry room, deck with beautiful hot tub with amazing views of the lake, outdoor tables, natural swimming pool just up the hill, brand new sauna right next to the pool. Only thing to note is that the upstairs (which has one bedroom/bathroom/and kitchen area) is almost like a separate apartment...there are no internal stairs to get from one to the other, so you have to walk outside. No big deal as long as its not raining! Other thing to note is the driveway; as the hosts will tell you, it is a steep gravel road that can be difficult to drive up when wet. We did NOT have a four wheel drive vehicle and managed to handle the drive, but if you are not an adventurous driver then a 4x4 would be preferred. Fiat makes the small Panda model in a 4x4 version, so you don't need to break the bank in Italy to get a 4x4 car. Hospitality - couldn't have asked for anything more from the Hofer family. They were the ideal hosts; so friendly and helpful both in arranging our holiday before we arrived, as well as making sure we had everything we needed when we were there. Hildegard delivered homemade fresh bread and pastries to us every morning, Norbert arrived with some fresh eggs from the chickens one day, and they were always keen to check to make sure that everything about our stay was going well without being intrusive. And Maibrit was so helpful in arranging our visit ahead of time. Surrounding Area - so many things to see and do in the Lake Garda region, from sailing/boating on the lake (can rent boats right from the marina in Castelletto di Brenzone), hiking the Roman Road right from the property, visting Valpolicello or Verona, and enjoying the various towns along the lake. So much to do...we will be back. Many thanks to the Hofer family! 6 adults, 3 children

Nothing Comes Close In Comparison
I've been fortunate enough to be able to enjoy Lake Garda for most of my life. In many ways Lake Garda is the little secret that few Americans know about. Being from the US, Lake Garda is often missed as many travelers hone in places like Rome, Milan, Venice. Their loss, as this is the true Italian Experience. The best way to feel it, is by sipping morning coffee on the porches of this property. Walking through the grounds while the backdrop soaks in. This place is the metaphorical reset button on life. The views are stunning. The cleanliness and hospitality are reminiscent of a 5 star hotel. If you want to *feel* like you are in the mountains of Italy, there is literally no other place that matches this location's breathtaking views. When I was a child, I told my parents I would get married in Lake Garda. I am very fortunate to have had my family and friends stay on this property. I couldn't have had it any other way. We will be back, more likely sooner rather than later. Thank you again to the family for hosting us. You all are wonderful people.

About the host

Hosted by Norbert Hofer

Host profile image
We are a family from South Tyrol, the region on the very north of Italy. My father Norbert loves gardening and this passion brought him to lake Garda. In 2003 my parents bought an abandoned and overgrown estate (ask for photos when you visit!!) on the lake and spend every weekend and every vacation for the next 11 years there, creating this little piece of paradise we call Villa Castelletto today.
I am the daughter and help them getting the word out about this very special place.
