Villa Mocasina

Villa Mocasina is a luxury Lake Garda villa sleeping up to 11 people in 4 bedrooms. Once a former monastery, the villa has been transformed with the utmost care by the current owners. Tradition, modernity and fine design has created a dreamlike country villa boasting state-of-the-art technology. Outside, there are a host of amenities including a private 25 metre heated pool, bocce court, table tennis, pool table and darts. Inside, there is a home cinema and private gym.

The beautiful house and estate was created in the 17th century in the middle of the Valtenesi wine-growing area. For centuries, the property served as a monastery, residence and winery, and more recently for many years as a highly regarded gourmet restaurant. It has been meticulously restored over a two year period by the current owners to preserve its historic charm while incorporating modern amenities for your comfort. Accommodation is arranged within a main villa (measuring 350 square metres) and a separate pool house measuring 30 square metres.

Keen chefs themselves, the owners have cleverly continued the villa's more recent culinary themed history. There are no less than three gourmet kitchens inside the villa (as well as a fourth one outside overlooking the pool). Inside, the main kitchen enjoys stunning mountain views through iconic arched windows whilst the second kitchen is fully equipped with Gaggenau appliances and a wine fridge and boasts an adjoining vaulted dining cellar for 12 to 14 people. The third kitchen is located in the nearby annex. There is an incredible amount of kitchen equipment for guests to use. There are three fridges, four dishwashers, four coffee machines (a Nespresso, a fully automatic coffee machine, a Bialetti mocha pot and a filter coffee machine), a microwave, ice cream machine and much more.

Three of the bedrooms are in the main villa whilst the fourth is the separate annex. Also in this annex is a bathroom and kitchen. All bedrooms are fitted with safes and two of the bedrooms have mosquito nets at the windows. Three of the four bedrooms are equipped with an additional sofa bed or single bed allowing the home to sleep up to 11 guests in total.

Outside, the perfectly designed park-like garden pick up the culinary theme through the cultivation of fruit and herbs. Beautiful olive trees are also dotted throughout the grounds which cover an area of approximately 5000 square metres. A romantic pergola, fragrant plants and areas where individuals can retreat for privacy perfectly complement the garden design. An outside kitchen (the fourth in the property) and BBQ allows guests to rustle up a feast al fresco.
