villa with garden for sale lake garda

Manerba del Garda, LB 25080

Not far from the shores of Lake Garda, in a small town providing all the services, 16th-century manor villa with garden. The building, in good structural condition, currently includes 8 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms but with a general restoration and revision of the layout one could easily create up to 16 bedrooms and convert the building into a boutique hotel.
Services are easily reached on foot and by car one can quickly reach the most beautiful cities dotting the shores of Garda in less than one hour (Padenghe, Gardone, Peschiera, Limone). Other cities of Northern Italy are nonetheless reached in less than two hours (Verona, Iseo, Mantova, Trento, Milan, Venice).
The closest airport is the one in Verona (47km; 45) but the terminals in Milan, Venice and Bologna are equally convenient.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The villa (1,255 sqm 13,504 sqft), with its L shape, is laid over three floors, currently split into five apartments for a total of 8 bedrooms. The internal layout of the building would also make very easy a conversion plan of the building into a single villa, maybe used as a boutique hotel, which could offer up to 16 bedrooms for its guests.

STATE AND FINISHES
The building, dating back to the 16th century, is in excellent structural condition but needs some works to restore and valorize its finishes. The original features are still present but are in some cases damaged or in bad shape: on the ground floor there are a beautiful frescoed hall and the original vaulted cellar. The residential portions feature parquet floors and wooden beams on the ceilings.

EXTERIORS
Exiting through the porches there is a 380-sqm private garden in need of cleaning: this area is however very convenient and grants an excellent location to relax in the open or having dinner with friends and relatives.
A short distance from the villa there is then another 2,000-sqm plot of land covered in a garden with trees and brush.

USE AND POTENTIAL USES
The building, once restored and finished, would be perfect as a private residence (by reuniting the apartments) or as an accommodation business. About this last possibility, there are two roads: the first one means leaving the building as it is in terms of layout, with five independent apartments for the guests; the second one means reshaping the whole building to create up to 16 bedrooms with the available surfaces.
