Stunning
We were looking for a place to relax and think we found it in Villa Callisto. The location is unique; the view is breathtaking! The villa is spacious and elegantly furnished. We were there in December and looked over silver-green olive trees in front of snow-capped mountains on the opposite shore of Lake Garda, over the water glistening in the sunshine to the southern tip of the lake. And this wonderful panorama can be seen from many places through the generous window areas in the luxuriously furnished villa. Even the sauna offers this beautiful view. We are definitely looking forward to coming back to Lake Garda in the summer of 2023.

Breathtaking!
The views from every aspect of the villa are breathtaking and panoramic. There are huge windows everywhere. We loved our bedroom with the ensuite bathtub and rain shower. Downstairs the seating was relaxed and comfortable. The highlight of our stay were the evenings on the balcony enjoying a drink and looking at the moon and the mountains with the tranquil lake below us, listening to the Villa’s sound system as we swayed back and forth in the swinging chair.
