The town of Gargnano, with a ferryboat port and marina, is about 300m down the tiny access road. A city steeped in history and charm, Gargnano started as a monastery in the 1200s, where the monks grew lemons. And from here begins the long and fascinating history of the limonaie of Gargnano. The town blossomed and grew, lemons its principle industry, and it was completely hedged in by mountains and lakes, isolated with access only from the lake until the 1930s when the lakeside highway was built. As a result Gargnano has developed and maintained an extraordinary and unique local flavour and charm. The town has a plethora of quaint small local shops and restaurants. Though only a small village, Gargnano boasts not one, but two Michelin star restaurants: Villa Feltrinelli and Tartugha. And for less formal nights out, there are a number of excellent restaurants and pizzerias, some right on the waterfront with lakeside tables.

Full hands-on luxury service, including professional cleaning, hotel quality linens & towels and concierge service is provided by Holiday-Garda. All of our villas are stocked with starting supply of toilet paper, kitchen paper, napkins, coffee, tea, sugar, salt, and pepper. We also provide a wide range of luxury extra services, including personal chef, masseuse, chauffeur, excursions, airport transfers, villa stocking and much more – see the guest services section of our website (holiday-garda) for more details.

Holiday-Garda guests are always met on site with a personalised checkin with english speaking local experts, who will provide an orientation on both the house and the local area. We also provide a very detailed house manual with a local guide, including restaurant guide, shopping guide, local activities and more; and our concierge director is always available to help you liaise and access any local service.

The most wonderful villa in the perfect location
Villa Rochelle is simply wonderful. The villa has everything you need and over many levels which lead into the many bedrooms. The kitchen is well equipped with all you need to make your morning coffee or a pasta dish with ingredients from the nearby shops. The deli in town is called Bignotti and has everything from wine to cheese to meats. All bedrooms are well equipped and the top two bedrooms have aircon. The other bedrooms have fans. The tv room is great and the massive tv has apps that allow you to access Netflix or Prime on your own account (remember to log out....). The balcony area is just wonderful and this is what draws most of the pictures of the villa - it's every bit the stunning vista and the awnings give the shade if the sun is too much. Looking over the lake watching the boats can while away the hours - pour some wine and watch the world go by. The gardens are spectacular and over 5 levels. The swimming pool is fantastic. We went in September and after 2 seconds, you get used to the temperature (diving off the little springboard makes this easier...). The host Novella was always available (both before and during) and gave advice and instruction which was very welcome. We had a slight issue with wifi and was fixed the same day. The villa uses the 3 prong Italian plug she make sure your adapters can work with these - there are a few in the villa to help though. The villa and location are fantastic and you will not be disappointed if you book.

Stunning villa in wonderful location
A stunning villa in a wonderful location above the village of Gargnano. The interior layout works very well for a family or group of friends ( we were a family of eight). Only slight drawback is that two of the bedrooms don't have AC so can get hot.The exterior terraces and pool are really great with superb lake views. A short 5/10 minute walk takes you down to the village with easy access for swimming in the lake and a variety of excellent bars and restaurants. So overall a great place to stay.

Spitzenklasse mit kleinem Manko
Das Objekt und auch die Betreuung ist absolut klasse. Ein absolutes Manko ist, daß es kein direkte Zufahrt und keine festen Parkplätze gibt. Bei An- und Abreise und nach Einkäufen muss man alles über zwei mögliche Wege (einer kofferrollentauglich ca. 300m und einer unbefestigt ca. 200 m. Die Entfernung ist stark vom Parkplatz den man findet abhängig ) schleppen. Es stehen nur öffentliche Parkplätze zur Verfügung die in der Urlaubszeit heiß begehrt sind (Parkausweise sind im Mietpreis enthalten, parken ohne extrem teuer). Will man zum See muß man eine stark befahrene Hauptstraße überqueren, der erste Zugang ans Wasser ist direkt am Parkhaus des Ortes und wird als Hundehof und Mülleimer genutzt. All das sollte man wissen, das Haus und der 20m Pool machen das aber definitiv wett.
