Handpicked & carefully verified

On the quiet eastern side of Lake Garda, among olive groves and mountain slopes, lies Ca’ dei Mongi—a hidden retreat of two houses, fully in harmony with nature. At the foot of Monte Baldo, Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetics meet Italian simplicity, creating a place that feels like an ode to slow living.

The style of Ca’ dei Mongi is pure and intentional. Raw walls, natural textures, muted colors, and design pieces —all contribute to the serene atmosphere. Large windows frame the landscape like paintings. The interior is minimalist yet rich in character, blending old and new with ease.

The estate consists of two separate houses and accommodates 10 adults plus 3 children. The main house has three bedrooms, a large living kitchen with fireplace, a lounge corner, and direct access to the terrace and pool. The second house offers a bedroom with a glass loggia, a cozy living room with fireplace, and a mezzanine with four extra beds. In summer, up to 4 additional guests can stay in the glamping tent and a separate bedroom with a double bed and own bathroom.

Next to the stunning infinity pool is a pergola with lounge sofas, an open fireplace with BBQ, and a covered terrace with a 5.6m dining table where you can dine into the night. There is also a small wellness area with sauna, a yoga deck with a spectacular 180° view over Lake Garda, and an amphitheater (also suitable for events). Everything is designed for relaxation and outdoor living.

The location is secluded yet close: watersports at Spiaggia Aquafresca (10 minutes), hiking on Monte Baldo, dining in mountain villages, or taking a boat to the western shores of Lake Garda. There’s so much to explore.
