Architect-designed waterfront villa with private dock, sleeps 8 in 3 bedrooms. The villa is directly on Lake Garda with a private dock just minutes from the village of Bogliaco, the town of Gargnano and the city of Toscolano Maderno. The villa is built snug right between the hill and the lakeside, its porches and terraces reaching right into the lake. The house was built in the 1960s by the famous Belgian architect Leon Stynen as his own personal vacation home, and it has been published in various journals. It was renovated in 2016, with a new kitchen and redecorated bathrooms.

Private garden on terraced levels with steep slopes, with mature trees and flowers, fully fenced. Spacious portico with stereo music, with lake view, with a marble table for 8 and lounge furniture, as well as a small built-in barbecue.

Private access to the lake & dock: there is a private access to the lake and a private dock for swimming as well as short-term boat mooring. Please note that the dock is not designed for boats larger than 8m and not for regular or long-term boat mooring. Sudden winds can cause damage to boats moored on the dock, so use at your own risk.

The villa is located on the main road just before Bogliaco, a small village that is part of the town of Gargnano. Though the villa is on the main road, the road is above, at the top of the hill, and the villa is nestled right down at the bottom of the hill by the lake, so your privacy is absolute, and the road is not too noisy.

Air conditioning in the living room and in the two double bedrooms.

Parking for 1 car in the garage (shared with neighbour), and 1 car outside, within the security gate. A kayak-style canoe is provided for guest use, with life vests and necessary accessories.

Accommodation - sleeping 8 people in 3 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms

Lounge area with stereo and TV, seats 8-10, with stunning lake views. Fully equipped brand new kitchen, with all major and minor appliances, including dishwasher, microwave, toaster and Nespresso coffee maker. Seating for 8 at the dining area table.

Sleeps 8 in 3 bedrooms, all with beautiful lake views. Bedrooms are: one double with ensuite, one with two single bunkbeds and one family suite with double bed and sofa bed that opens to two singles. Bathrooms: 2,5 bathrooms, one ensuite to the double bedroom, one with access for the other two bedrooms, and one powder room (toilet only) upstairs for use from the common areas.

Location/distances

You can reach Bogliaco in just a few minutes on foot (about 500m, but along the busy road so not a tranquil stroll), where you will find a couple of good bars for your morning cappuccino as well as the restaurant "Allo Scoglio", one of our absolute favourites for fish, with a lakefront terrace and very child-friendly. Gargnano town centre is another 1.5km down the road, and here you will find a number of small shops, 2 restaurants with a Michelin star (Tortuga and Villa Feltrinelli), as well as a number of other excellent restaurants and pizzerias. Here you will also find the Lake Garda ferry port, where you can catch a ferry to any other port on the lake.

In the other direction, about 5km down the road, you will find the city of Toscolano Maderno, a small city with all the services for the local villages and towns. Here you will find the large supermarkets, many restaurants and pizzerias, a fantastic weekly market (Thursday mornings), and another ferry port. For golfers, the Bogliaco Golf Club is just around the corner, in the hills just above the villa.

"A really nice lake with lots of little cafes by the waterfront to eat an ice cream and watch the sunset or the boats. You can also easily take the ferry around the lake"
