Description
Architect designed waterfront villa with private dock, sleeps 8, ideal for two couples and 4 children (the bunk bed and the sofa bed are comfortable for children or teenagers), in 3 bedrooms Villa Coccodrilla is directly on the lake with a private dock just minutes from the village of Bogliaco, the town of Gargnano and the city of Toscolano Maderno. The villa is built snug right between the hill and the lakeside, its porches and terraces reaching right into the lake. It sits on the edge of the lake like a satisfied crocodile, ready to slip into the water at a moments notice, and thus the name “Coccodrilla”. The house was built in the 1960s by the famous Belgian architect Leon Stynen , as his own personal vacation home, and it has been published in various journals. It was rennovated recently , with new kitchen and redecorated bathrooms.

The villa is located on the main road just before Bogliaco, a small village that is part of the town of Gargnano. Though the villa is on the main road, the road is above, at the top of the hill, and the villa is nestled right down at the bottom of the hill by the lake, so your privacy is absolute and the road is not too noisy. You can reach Bogliaco in just a few minutes on foot (about 500 meters, but along the busy road so not a tranquil stroll), where you will find a couple of good bars for your morning capuccino as well as the restaurant “Allo Scoglio”, one of our absolute favourites for fish, with a lake front terrace and very child friendly. Gargnano town centre is another 1.5km down the road, and here you will find a number of small shops, 2 restaurants with a michelin star (Tortuga and Villa Feltrinelli) as well as a number of other excellent restaurants and pizzerias. Here you will also find the lake garda ferry port, where you can catch a ferry to any other port on the lake. In the other direction, about 5km down the road, you will find the city of Toscolano Maderno, a small city with all the services for the local villages and towns. Here you will find the large supermarkets, many restaurants and pizzerias, a fantastic weekly market (thursday mornings), and another ferry port. For golfers, the Bogliaco Golf club is just around the corner, in the hills just above the villa.
Full hands-on luxury service, including professional cleaning, hotel quality linens & towels and concierge service is provided by Holiday-Garda. All of our villas are stocked with starting supply of toilet paper, kitchen paper, napkins, coffee, tea, sugar, salt, and pepper.

In the kitchen there should be ore electricity points for appliances.
The furniture outside is outdated and partly broken. The chairs around the table and the siiting outside should be renewed.
The garden needs more care.
The pots on the balcony are filthy and need cleaning.

The house is a great place. It needs new furniture outside. The chairs at the dining table are old and not of a standard you expect of a property like this. Same for the lounge set. It is old and cheap. The accommodation has 2 bedrooms for adults. The small bedroom can only be used by children. The bed bunk is to short for adults. the bed bunk in the mail bedroom is also to short and if you want privacy you cannot use it. There is no airconditioning in the whole house. Only one in the main bedroom. The bedlinen and duvets of cheap polyamide material. This combined with no airconditioning makes the nights sweaty . The cushions are old and no usable.

In all den früheren Urlauben, haben wir noch nie eine so tolle Vermieteragentur erlebt wie dieses Jahr mit der Holiday-Garda. Großes Kompliment! Novella Battani hat uns laufend informiert und sich um die wenigen Probleme sofort bemüht und gekümmert. Vielen, vielen Dank dafür.
Das Haus ist einfach nur toll, direkter privater Seezugang, hervorragende Terrasse mit ganz tolle Aussicht. Von der anliegenden Straße ist nichts zu hören nur das erholsame Rauschen des Sees konnten wir genießen.
Wenn möglich kommen wir gerne wieder !

Zur eigenen Sicherheit sollten Sie vielleicht auf die 120 Stufen zum Haus aufmerksam machen. Problematisch für Gäste mit Gehbehinderung.
