Serviced Apartments in Gardone Riviera

This town, situated in the Brescia province of Lombardy, is studded with intriguing architecture, rich history and an incredible natural environment providing the ideal location for a serviced apartment or aparthotel.

One of the definite must sees in this region is the impressive Vittoriale degli Italiani, the former residence of the famous Italian pilot, poet and WWI hero Gabriele D’Annunzio. This incredible villa, overlooking Lake Garda and housing some rather unusual sights, is just a short distance from your holiday apartment or serviced residence in Gardone Riviera.

The rooms in the villa are filled to the brim with D’Annunzio’s passions, from books and ornaments to statues and rugs, providing plenty of interest. The separate Priory, Prioria, houses several rooms which are also filled with memorabilia and items of interest. Here you will find two waiting rooms, one for guests who are welcome and one for those who are not. You may be interested to know that Mussolini was sent to the latter. View the Leper room and the Relic room which boasts a collection of items of religious significance.

Outside you will find a vast amphitheatre and a mausoleum where both the remains of D’Annunzio as well as the men killed in the Fiume incident whilst serving him are buried, but the most impressive sight on the grounds is the 19th century battleship which you can also explore. Up on the hillside overlooking the villa you will see D’Annunzio’s light aircraft which he flew during the raid on Vienna and in the boathouse you will find the MAS vessel which he used in 1918. An incredible and certainly unforgettable experience.

In complete contrast to the busy obscurity of D’Annunzio’s villa why not take a short stroll from your Gardone Riviera apartment rental or holiday let to the Heller Garden. Enjoy the beautiful sculptures intermingled with lush vegetation. The garden of meditation is particularly lovely with a delightful Buddha statue floating on a tranquil pond. Leave a wish on the wishing tree, walk through shaded bamboo paths and admire the vibrant flora and tiny fruiting citrus trees. A lovely little oasis in which to spend a few hours.
