Tenuta Sant'AndreaAffi, Lake Garda, Italy

Overlooking the seemingly endless, private landscaped gardens, Bardolino vineyards, olive groves and woodland where the young Napoleon is rumoured to have climbed the cliff facing the fortress and engraved a heart in the rock.

The property was painstakingly restored over a ten year period by the current owner with the aim of preserving the past whilst integrating comfort and contemporary amenities.

The main villa features several reception rooms, a billiard room, a large modern kitchen and seven bedrooms with private bathrooms. The porticoes face impressive open views over the property’s vineyards, olive groves and landscaped gardens.

The castle stands in a commanding position with stunning lake views. It is a unique part of the property with its ancient wide, stone circular staircase connecting the 4 floors. The castle also abuts the 12th century consecrated church which forms the oldest part of this historic estate.

The dependence is a charming house discreetly sitting above the main villa. The internal space is divided in two apartments both enjoying a portico and stunning views.

The hunting lodge and the infinity pool are on a very private and elevated part of the estate offering stunning views of Lake Garda, the hunting lodge is as beautifully restored and equipped as the rest of the property and is an idyllic place to while away sunny days and enjoy a unique view over this stunning estate.
