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.

There aren’t many better places to enjoy your coffee in the morning or aperitivo in the evening, sun glistening on the waters below. 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.

The villa offers elegant features and maintains many of its original, historical details and can sleep up to 8 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. The kitchen is well equipped with all you need to whip up some local pasta dishes, including the all-important dishwasher. And if you don’t fancy cooking, let one of our private chefs do all the hard work for you. They can prepare breakfast, lunch or dinner and even a summer barbecue.

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…possibly with a glass of bubbly in hand! There are sun loungers dotted around too as well as the private pool, which 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 and not to mention the ancient olive trees that still produce a wonderful DOP extra virgin olive oil…certainly worth a taste.
