Villa Elara

Villa Elara is a luxurious country estate set in the heart of the Valtènesi wine region, in the charming medieval village of Calvagese della Riviera, one of the oldest towns surrounding Lake Garda. Here, history and contemporary design converge in perfect harmony. Once a 17th-century monastery, this extraordinary property has been meticulously restored into a refined retreat, where rustic charm meets modern elegance and cutting-edge technology. Surrounded by a newly landscaped garden, the estate is a sanctuary of Mediterranean beauty and tranquility. Fragrant herbs, fruit trees, and ancient olive groves shape the scenery, while a romantic pergola and private nooks invite you to slow down and breathe in the natural richness of the region. The 5,000 m² grounds also include unique activity zones: a 25-meter pool for triathletes, a professional putting green for golfers, a stylish gym, a sports field, and recreational spaces for bocce, table tennis, and more—all surrounded by the rolling hills and vineyards of northern Italy. Inside, Villa Elara retains its centuries-old soul while offering every modern comfort. The residence features three individually designed, air-conditioned suites with en-suite bathrooms, ideal for 6–8 guests. The villa also includes two additional guest WCs, a cozy library, an elegant living and dining area with home cinema, and a vaulted cellar that houses a fully equipped fitness area. The culinary experience is a highlight at Villa Elara. Guests can choose between three state-of-the-art kitchens: a main kitchen with arched windows and panoramic views of the mountains, a second gourmet kitchen with Gaggenau appliances and a wine fridge adjacent to a vaulted dining room for 12–14 guests, and an outdoor kitchen by the pool designed for al fresco cooking with a teppanyaki grill. This is the essence of “culinary luxury.” Whether you’re seeking a wellness escape, a gourmet retreat, or a stylish base for outdoor activities, Villa Elara is a unique destination where nature, history, and lifestyle come together effortlessly.
