Thanks to its exclusive location above Lake Garda, Villa Regina benefits from breathtaking panoramic views while being surrounded by ancient olive trees and beautiful gardens. The newly built villa is set on a well-maintained, 21-acre private and guests will enjoy the full beauty of the lake environment while being conveniently close to popular places like Verona and Venice.
The villa has three floors, each accessed externally with its own entrance door. The heart of the villa is the grand, light living space that brings together the kitchen, dining room and living room. The modern country kitchen is equipped with all amenities, including a fridge with ice maker, induction cooking plates, oven, pantry and dishwasher. The dining table is handmade from nut wood and seats 12 guests. Enjoy dinner in a beguiling atmosphere with a crackling open fireplace and a glass of wine from the wine fridge. Afterwards, relax into the comfortable couch, wrapped in a warm blanket, reading your favourite book as it gets dark outside or watch a movie on the 3D TV and BluRay Player.
Sleep like a baby in Villa Regina's comfortable beds, which all come with soft cushions and mattresses made from 100% natural and ecological materials. Each of the bedrooms is unique: The four-poster bedroom all in white, the olive bedroom made out of olive wood and the nature bedroom on the top floor. What they all share is the beautiful lake view! These three bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, a power circuit breaker, windows with fly screens and black-out blinds. Most bathrooms are equipped with with their own ensuite bathroom with showers, bathtubs and bidets.
Forget the world around you and leave the everyday life behind! Getting lost in a good book, enjoying the spectacular sunset from the outdoor heated whirlpool or wandering through the vast gardens, these moments create your memories for life. The al-fresco dining area has been completely redone and there's now a wonderful outdoor kitchen with barbecue.
Close your eyes and breathe in the aromatic fragrance of the herbs, taste the sweet fruits of the garden, listen to the chirp of the birds and the soft murmur of the water. The sounds, smells and tastes of nature relax your soul, calm your spirit and bring harmony back into your life!
The magical garden of the villa spans over several acres, created and tended by villa owner Norbert, a passionate eco-gardener. Between native oleander and wild orchids, you find many exotic plants, like banana trees, pineapple guava, a monk's pepper tree, goji berry tree and even Chinese dates. An explosion of colours and scents from the many herbs, flowers and trees await you when wandering through this Eden.
Built on organic, natural and well-being principles Villa Regina provides an unspoilt and luxurious retreat which focuses on the harmony between body and soul and allows you to relax and recharge together with your friends and family. You'll experience a truly memorable holiday at Villa Regina – an idyllic luxury habitat above beautiful Lake Garda!

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa ReginaVilla Regina lies on the east shore of lake Garda, just above the charming village of Castelletto di Brenzone and close to idylic resort of San Zeno in Montagna high above the lake. Castelletto di Brenzone is located directly on Lake Garda and can be reached by a 15 minutes walk downhill (good walking shoes essential!).
An ancient Roman path connects the village with the mountains and bypasses the villa grounds. By car, it is about 5km Castelletto di Brenzone where you will find several excellent fish restaurants, pizzerias and small supermarkets. Watersport enthusiasts will feel right at home on the many beaches that are close by, as well as a local sailing club and motor boat rental.
The ferry, which stops twice daily on the little fishing port of the village, takes you to the other side of the lake to explore charming Limone or Marniga del Garda. The other village closeby is San Zeno di Montagna, also a short 5 min drive away. San Zeno di Montagna is nicknamed the "terrace to the lake" thanks to its stunning location, and in autumn this village is famous for its chestnut inspired dishes.

Reviews

Villa Regina is wonderful
Villa Regina is wonderful and its owners, Norbert and Hildegard did everything possible to make it a fantastic and enjoyable stay. We holidayed with three generations of our family and Villa Regina was the perfect location. Perched above Lake Garda with spectacular views and beautiful grounds our group struggled to agree on their favourite feature of the house; the natural swimming pool, hot tub with a view, sauna, gardens, outdoor kitchen and beautifully built house all featured highly.
As for its owners Norbert and Hildegard they went out of their way to ensure a memorable holiday whether it was baking a surprise birthday cake, delivering fresh bread in the morning, lighting the sauna or cleaning and setting the fire pit and outdoor kitchen each morning. At the same time they gave us privacy and freedom to enjoy a special family holiday.
We couldn't recommend Villa Regina more highly.
