We discovered Bagolino, this town with a funny name, almost by chance, driven by the desire for a peaceful holiday full of authentic beauty. This charming village, nestled in the Brescia mountains, near Lake Idro and the Ponte Caffaro nature reserve, immediately won us over with its breathtaking views, unspoilt nature and the peace that reigns everywhere. It is the ideal destination for those seeking an oasis far from the chaos, but with all the comforts at their fingertips.

We rented a villa very close to the lake, in the hamlet of Ponte Caffaro, for two weeks, without imagining that we would fall in love with it to the point of wanting to buy it. It is a practically new property, ready to be lived in, where you immediately feel at home upon entering. Enclosed by a well-tended hedge, it offers a private garden that gives a feeling of exclusivity and serenity. The porphyry patio completely surrounds the villa, creating a perfect convivial area with a barbecue area, relaxation spaces and a beautiful swimming pool where our children spent many happy hours.

The interior is simply impeccable. Furnished with modern, minimalist and chic taste, all in elegant shades of white and cream, it conveys freshness and refinement. On the ground floor, we are welcomed by a large, bright kitchen with double access to the patio and swimming pool: perfect for cooking together and then eating outdoors. The spacious living room with light-coloured flooring is the heart of the house, where we shared games, laughter and moments of true relaxation. The four double bedrooms, all with private bathrooms, offer maximum comfort and are also ideal for hosting friends or family.

The villa also has an independent first floor, a separate apartment with exposed beams, a living area, kitchenette, one double bedroom, one bedroom with three beds and a bathroom. This area proved perfect for the grandparents, who were able to enjoy their privacy while remaining close by.

We didn’t think we would find such a special place, or such a perfect home. But now that we have experienced it, we don’t want to leave. This villa, just a few minutes from Lake Idro, is much more than a holiday home: it is a dream that we want to turn into reality.
