A unique and inimitable villa on the lake, the mention of which is documented as far back as the middle of the 16th century, even then this beautiful building was described as a ”majestic building of the fifteenth century. “ Renamed ”Villa delle Rosa“ in 1821, the refined residence of noble families ”Villa Terzi“, retained its late Gothic decoration, and thanks to the first major restoration in 1842, its Gothic-Renaissance appearance was strengthened when the former small garden overlooking the villa was transformed in a beautiful garden. The villa is located right in the historic center of the town of Bardolino overlooking the main promenade and consists of three floors plus a tower with a 360 degree view.
The lakeside part of the villa includes the main living room with access to the garden, dining room and kitchen, various rooms, three large double bedrooms with bathroom, master bedroom with bathroom, living room, dining room and kitchen, two service bathrooms and an office. On the ground floor there are old vaulted cellars and some service rooms. At the back of the villa, overlooking the historic centre, interconnected but also with an independent entrance, there are two mini-apartments, each consisting of a living-dining room, a bedroom and a bathroom, as well as a multi-purpose room on the ground floor.
The interiors are decorated with exquisite and rare Biedermeier frescoes, while the rooms are decorated with natural decorations designed to create a sense of openness to the landscape and the view of the lake. In the main hall, where a large three-leaf window overlooking the lake stands out, there is a neoclassical Carrara marble fireplace with Doric columns, a Venetian seminato floor depicting the centaur Chiron, and a ceiling with allegories by the artist Filippo Nereo Vignola. At the end of the 1990s, the current owners, driven by a deep passion for antiques and love for the prestige of this unusual residence, completed major restoration works that, while fully preserving all the original character of the villa, adapted its functionality to today's times, also through skillful renovation the entire engineering part, which has recently been redesigned to the most modern and high standards.
