Villa San Pietro Bed & Breakfast

This is a family affair and long-term friendships may be formed. Anna’s interiors are immaculate, with oak beams, ancient brick floors, family antiques and floral fabrics – all kept spick and span. You have your own sitting room with a frescoed ceiling and the bedrooms are delightful. Original frescoes were discovered in the Sala da Pranzo (dining room), formerly a monastery refectory, during the restoration.

Enjoy the large garden and terrace and ground floor loggia. Anna’s dinners are regional and delicious, breakfasts include home baked bread and homemade jams, local cheeses and fresh yogurt made by Jacques. Cooking classes, wine pairing, and guided tours along the lake and through the countryside can all be arranged.

Clearly they pour their hearts into the operation and their enthusiasm is contagious. You are in a peaceful street near the town centre, off the beaten path yet perfectly sited for forays into Brescia, Verona and Venice. Lake Garda is only ten kilometres away. Historic and very special.
