Villa Medusa

Nestled on the sun-drenched western shores of Lake Garda within the elegant enclave of Gardone Riviera, Villa Medusa is a testament to modern luxury. Set within a private estate of olive trees and sculpted gardens, the villa brings refined seclusion to the wooded hills above Lake Garda.

Framed by uninterrupted views across the water, the meticulously landscaped grounds feature Mediterranean borders, tiered lawns, and shaded terraces arranged around a heated infinity pool that appears to merge with the horizon.

The surrounding 20,000-square-metre plot features a koi pond, a fire pit, and spacious outdoor lounge areas, all positioned to make the most of the villa’s elevated outlook. Guests can drift easily between the pergola-covered dining area, the well-equipped outdoor kitchen, and the sun-drenched poolside deck. Moreover, a golf cart is available to navigate the estate with ease.

The villa, comprising a main house and a separate guest house, is a striking example of modern architecture. This sleek and stylish structure seamlessly blends into the dramatic landscape. Inside, the main house centres around a light-filled, open-plan living space where expansive glass walls look directly onto the lake. The design is elegant and understated, featuring a soft neutral palette, a cosy fireplace, and an elegant grand piano that lends a sense of quiet sophistication. A separate games room and gym allow for both relaxation and activity, while a private sauna offers a moment of calm after long walks or boat trips.

Three of the four bedrooms are within the main villa, each featuring a king-size bed, a walk-in wardrobe, and an en-suite shower room. All three enjoy expansive lake views. A fourth guest suite is located in the adjacent guest house and maintains the same high standard, featuring a private bathroom and views overlooking the water.

Villa Medusa’s setting — between the upper town of Gardone Riviera and the lake itself — is both scenic and convenient. From here, it’s a short drive to the cultural sites of the area or down to the shoreline for a swim. Yet returning to the calm of the gardens feels like stepping into a private retreat, where nature and comfort are key.
