Villa I Gelsomini Near Est Garda - Vela Etica
Welcome to Villa i Gelsomini, a charming villa on the beautiful shores of Lake Garda, where comfort, nature and the unmistakable Italian dolce vita come together.
Set over three levels, the villa offers 6 comfortable bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, making it ideal for families and groups of up to 10–11 guests. The spacious terrace is one of its most inviting spots, offering a truly wonderful view of the lake — the perfect place to sit back, relax and enjoy a good glass of Italian wine as the sun goes down. ;-)
The villa is fully furnished and equipped with everything you may need for a relaxing stay, including Smart TV, unlimited Wi-Fi, hairdryers, dishwasher, oven, microwave, washing machine and barbecue.
Outside, you will find a beautiful large garden surrounded by a magnificent terraced olive grove, creating a peaceful and authentic setting where you can enjoy the beauty of Lake Garda at its best.
Two private parking spaces are available at the villa.
Villa i Gelsomini is located just a 10-minute walk from the charming town of Torri del Benaco, with its lakeside promenade, restaurants and local shops. If you prefer not to walk, a complimentary shuttle service is available from May to September, taking you comfortably up and down to the town.
Although the shuttle is a convenient option, we always recommend having a car during your stay, as it offers greater freedom and flexibility to explore Lake Garda and its beautiful surroundings at your own pace.

Perhaps the most special thing about Villa i Gelsomini is the reason it was created in the first place: to be a place where families and friends can come together, slow down and enjoy beautiful moments that become lasting memories.
Over the years, we have come to realize just how special this place truly is. Guests who have stayed here, even for just a few days, have shared how easily they were able to reconnect, spend quality time together and create wonderful memories with their loved ones.
For us, Villa i Gelsomini is much more than a holiday home. It is a place that brings people together, where everyday life slows down and where the simplest moments often become the most memorable ones.
