Farmhouse Salò Brescia Lombardy Holiday Rentals in Italy

Property description

Lake Garda is arguably the most beautiful lake in Italy, a Mediterranean oasis in Northern Italy with cypresses, olive groves and orchards of lemon trees growing in abundance. The Agriturismo Fattoria is eight kilometres above the lake with a beautiful view over the hillsides sloping down into the water. "Agriturismo Fattoria" means farmhouse which is exactly what this old stone house is, surrounded by twenty-five hectares of land, the only noises off stage being the clucking of chickens and the stamping of animals in their stalls, the intoxicating fragrance of freshly cut hay and the more pungent smells emanating from the animal farm greeting the guests at breakfasts as they look down over the cusp of the lawn towards the blue waters of the lake. Your hosts' father was a vet. responsible for the whole lakeside who was called upon to minister, among other "patients", to the greyhounds of Gabriele d'Annunzio, whose magnificent villa, Il Vittoriale degli Italiani, is at one end of the lake. The Agriturismo has its own restaurant where much of the produce served comes from the farm. Menus feature very high quality meat of beef, veal, court's little animals, vegetables from the property, homemade salami and local cheeses and wines. Rooms. Two different venues for guests of the Agriturismo: the first is in the house above the restaurant where there are four bedrooms.
