The island is located on the Brescia shore of Lake Garda, a few arms of water from San Felice del Benaco.
Over the centuries the island of Garda, currently owned by the Cavazza family, had various names almost always linked to different owners: insula Cranie, island of the Friars, island Lechi, island Scotti, island de Ferrari and later island Borghese.
Today it owes its charm to the extraordinary neo-Gothic Venetian villa, designed by the architect Luigi Rovelli in the early ‘900; an imposing harmonious building, rich in surprising architectural details.
At its feet terraces and Italian gardens slope down to the lake. All around the vegetation is lush and intact, rich in local plants, exotic, rare essences and unique flowers.
