Villa Minerva is a truly unique and 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 selection of restaurants, bars and shops.

Divided into 4 apartments (two 2 bedroom apartments and 2 studio apartments), Villa Minerva is a fantastic choice for families or friends travelling together. The villa sleeps 18 guests (maximum 16 adults) 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 double rooms with lake views; the two studio apartments are located on the first and second floor respectively, both with double bedrooms.

There are 8 bathrooms in the villa, all with showers. 4 bathrooms are en-suite (two with the bedrooms on the second floor; one in each of the studio apartments) and 2 are on the ground floor in the laundry room.

There are two kitchens located on the ground floor and are complete with all main 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 truly 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.

There is air conditioning in the two double rooms on the second floor and the two double rooms in the studio apartments. The four double rooms on the first floor all have fans.
