Historical overlooking Lake Garda Villa with private park and swimming pool.

Luxurious 600 m2 historical villa with 6000 sq.m park and large swimming pool.
Cascina Rospus is an ancient building located in the municipality of Desenzano, in the area of the historical site of San Martino della Battaglia: an area of deep historical significance for the famous battle of 24 June 1859 fought in the context of the Second War of Independence
Italian independence by the Austrian, French and Piedmontese armies.
The villa, originally built as a farmstead, has been skilfully
restored over the years with love and attention to every single detail, in order to offer all modern comforts while maintaining the charm and taste of an ancient house. Cascina Rospus has also become ecofriendly as 100% of the energy used is produced from renewable sources.
It has a living area of 500 m2: the ground floor welcomes you with a large living room with Smart TV , the dining room with tables for 12 people and a kitchenette and a bathroom.
Upstairs there are five bedrooms, including two master bedrooms, all with large double beds, all with large double beds and equipped with independent air conditioning (NEW 2024!); two bedrooms have an additional single bed; there are finally two bathrooms, one of which is a master one, with a shower.
The property is surrounded by a fully fenced private park of about 6,000 m2, inside which there is the large pool (10m x 20m) equipped with safety gates for children and a large solarium, where you can enjoy a quiet and relaxing atmosphere, an outbuilding with dressing room and additional bathroom. In the outbuilding there is also a dedicated and equipped barbecue room where you can make tasty barbecues to be tasted outdoors under the gazebo with table in the large garden.

Cascina Rospus enjoys a wonderful lake view surrounded by the Tower of San Martino della Battaglia and manicured vineyards that provide an atmosphere of profound peace, intimacy and privacy. Unique in its kind, the house is kissed by the sun and caressed by the Garda breeze that runs through the foliage of the olive trees.

The property is strategically located only 1 km away from the A4 motorway exit of Sirmione and 5 km from the beaches of Lake Garda and the historic centre of Sirmione, allowing you to easily reach all the destinations you desire.

Your neighbours are the vineyards where the DOC Lugana wine is cultivated and the Tower of San Martino della Battaglia with its museum. During your stay, you will be able to rediscover the scents and flavours of typical dishes in the various agritourism restaurants in the area.

If you are looking for the combination of luxury, charm, ample space and total privacy, Cascina Rospus is the perfect, if not the only, solution for your holiday at Lake Garda.

8 Days in a wonderful location
1. Fantastic location - surrounded by beautiful vineyards and with two excellent quality restaurants on the doorstep - an agriturismo that cooks all the food they grow and then a classy restaurant next to the iconic tower. Superb meals and hospitality at both. There is a simple supermarket about 2 minute drive away and then a Conad megastore with in-house coffeeshop, bakery and deli about 13 min drive. There is a great bakery in Pozzolengo about 5 minute drive away too. 2. Beautiful gardens and top notch swimming pool meant relaxing out the house was always enjoyable. The kitchen was well stocked with quality cookware which meant we could have feasts in the kitchen or out in the garden. 3. 4 bathrooms (if you include the poolhouse) so no queuing in the mornings. 4. Massive bedrooms. I think these will feel light and airy most of the time but we were unlucky to be there in the 2023 heatwave where it was 28 degrees at night. Fans were supplied for every room and every room has mosquito nets to allow air to circulate through the house. The stone walls also keep the house from overheating. I think if it was 5 degrees cooler we would have been fine without the fans but we REALLY need them - there is no aircon. 5. Wifi is excellent quality and they have routers all over the property so the kids could watch videos in their bedrooms or instagram from the pool. Great coverage throughout. 6. Enough parking space for many cars (we only had 1). Electric gates with two keys

Beautiful house & pool - perfect for a holiday week with friends
What a gem!! We spent a wonderful week in this beautiful house (3 families - 6 adults & 4 children aged 6 - 15) and really enjoyed the pool, outdoor seating areas and extensive garden. The bedrooms were all very spacy and very comfortable, with good mattresses and pillows. The pool was huge and there were enough sun loungers for everyone, the pool house had a shower & WC which was very useful. We loved the outdoor pergola for meals and spending time with one another - it was a perfect spot for socialising. Besides being a really nice place to sit and catch the evening sun, the front terrace area was a great space for our morning fitness sessions :) The Property Manager, Diego, was very responsive and helpful and even arranged a cook for 3 evenings during our stay. We can^t recommend Liliana's cooking enough - it was super fresh and very Italian!!! Back home now, we miss you Liliana!! The property is about 1 km off the motorway exit, set amongst the vineyards with a few restaurants within walking distance. Sirmione was a 10 minute drive away, as was a big supermarket and it was very easy to get to other parts of Lake Garda. The location was just perfect as we really enjoyed the peaceful setting and didn't have to worry about any noise that we made around the pool. We will definitely be back one day and are for sure going to recommend the house to our friends. Thank you - we had a lovely holiday at Cascina Rospus!!

Beautiful villa in a quiet spot in the Lugana hills
We had a lovely stay with our family (9 adults, a baby and a 5 year old who's birthday we celebrated there. Enough bathrooms, more than enough space and a very big kitchen with everything you might need. Clean and maintained well. In the heat of summer are the bedrooms a bit warm. Swimmingpool a real gem. Maybe the swings in the garden could be fixed? We totally recommend and would surely go back.

Large spacious villa with pool, in a rural location but convenient to the motorway and Lake Garda
The villa is a beautiful old farmhouse located in the area of an historic battlefield near the village of San Martino, just south of Lake Garda. The property description is accurate. The villa itself has 5 large bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and was ideal for our party of 2 families (4 adults and 6 children), having plenty of room for us all. Unfortunately the bedrooms do not have air conditioning and although 4 of the rooms had fans they were rather warm at night. It has a large kitchen well equipped with pots and pans, crockery etc and all the usual appliances. There is a huge dining room. Outside the villa is set in spacious gardens and has a large pool with diving board which was a great size and depth. There is a lovely seating area outside under a pergola with a vine growing over it. Lovely Charlie the cat who belongs to the owner stays if the guests are happy for him to and we loved him. The villa is managed by Diego who was extremely helpful during our stay. He gave us lots of good advice about the area and when we had a problem getting Sky TV to work he came out straight away to try and sort it. As it couldn't be sorted during our stay he found a solution so that the children could watch films in the evening. Although the villa is rural it is less than 5 minutes drive from the motorway so has good links for travelling to Venice or Verona. Verona is about 30 minute drive away and Venice about 1.5 hours away although we went by train from Desezano del Garda railway station. Lake Garda itself and the resorts of Sirmione and Desanzano del Garda are a short drive away and all worth a visit. There is a large supermarket about 10 minutes drive away. The villa is surrounded by vineyards and there is a very good Winery right next door where wine tasting can be carried out and some very good local wine purchased. There are several other Winerys in the area. Within walking distance of the villa there are 3 local restaurants, one at the end of the drive which was very typically Italian which we visited and one a short walk up the road near the San Martino Tower ( a memorial tower for the battlefield) which was excellent. The San Martino Tower is also definitely worth a visit and there is a great view of the lake from the top. So to summarise, this is a great villa in a beautiful location, with great road links to local towns and Lake Garda and especially ideal for a large group or several families. Would definitely recommend it to friends.

Familienferien erholsam, spannend und für jung und alt
Ein sehr schönes Erlebnis mitten in einer fürstlichen Umgebung! Gebäude und Umschwung gepflegt, Installation rundum sehr gut, weitläufig und alles ideal für eine Familie wie die unsere mit 3 Ehepaaren und 4 Kinder (bis 12 Jahre alt), das Ganze mit italienischem Flair: Wir bedanken uns auch für die sehr gute Betreuung.

Perfect Italian Villa
We rented this house for a week, 10 adults and two small children. The garden is amazing, the pool is fantastic and the house is in walking distance to two restaurants. The pool was a favorite, and had a shallow (110cm) and deep (220cm) end. The house itself is old and very traditional, and has newly upgraded doors and windows. The only concern we had was the fact that there is no air conditioning, but as other guests have pointed out, there are bug nets in front of the windows which lets you have them open by night, as well as fans throughout every room. If you are not unlucky and find yourself in a heat wave, you should be more than fine We had a great time and could have asked for a more Italian experience. Hope to be back!

Die Villa liegt auf einem tollen Grundstück mit großem Garten. Der Pool ist sehr groß und hat viele Liegeplätze. Die Villa bietet Raum für 10 Personen und hat zwei schöne Essecken. Uns hat alles sehr gut gefallen- auch die ruhige Lage und die Nähe zum Gardasee und vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten.

Großartige Villa mit Park ohne Nachbarn
Die Villa und das Gelände incl. Pool sind ein Traum, von manchen ruhigen Orten hat man einen direkten Blick auf den Gardasee. Das Grundstück ist riesig sodass man auch in größeren Gruppen im ein ruhiges Plätzchen finden kann. Es gibt 2 Restaurants die zu Fuß erreicht werden können falls man sich schon das ein oder andere Glas Wein vom benachbarten Weingut gegönnt hat. Diego war ein super Gastgeber, die Kommunikation erfolgt sehr einfach über Whatsapp oder via E-Mail, wir hatten ein kleines Problem mit einer Tür und Diego kam kurz nur wenige Zeit später vorbei um es zu reparieren. Es gibt ein paar kleine Punkte die verbessert werden könnten gerade für größere Gruppen, dies soll aber keines Falls die 5 Sterne Bewertung für diese Villa schmälern: Küchenaustattung: Beim Kochen für 8+ Personen fehlt es an großen Töpfen um auch mal eine Portion Nudeln für alle auf einmal zu kochen. Da wir die meiste Zeit gegrillt haben (Grillfläche ist ausreichend vorhanden) war dies kein großes Problem, es ist lediglich beim zubereiten für einen Nudelsalat aufgefallen. Der große Steintisch im Garten ist ausreichen für 10 Personen, die anderen Tische sowohl im Haus als auch auf der Terrasse reichen max. für 8 Personen. In Punkten Sauberkeit, Gastfreundlichkeit und Service gibt es absolut nichts zu bemängeln, wir kommen eventuell nächstes Jahr wieder! Vielen Dank für die schöne Woche.

Eine Wohlfühloase in mitten von Weinreben
Wir hatten eine fantastische Zeit in diesem liebevoll eingerichteten Landhaus. Es war mehr als genug Platz für uns alle vorhanden. Die Küche bietet alles, um für die ganze Familie zu kochen. Wir hatten das Glück, jeden Abend draußen sitzen zu können, weit ab vom Tourismus. Wir haben uns wie in einer Blase gefühlt, die Ruhe begleitet von den Geräuschen aus der Natur und der riesige Garten boten jedem sein Plätzchen um mal nur für sich zu verweilen und Energie zu tanken. Der Pool ist groß genug und bot genügend Platz für uns alle. In der Nähe kann man zu Fuß sehr gut essen gehen und dann der riesigen Weinkarte sehr guten Wein trinken. Auch die vielen Weingüter drum herum boten feine Tropfen, von den wir immer direkt gekauft haben. Besonders schön war auch der Abend, an welchem wir uns im Haus von Liliana klassisch italienisch bekocht haben lassen. Sehr lecker und unbedingt zu empfehlen. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
