Contemporary Elegance And Historic Charm In The Heart Of Valtenesi

Nestled in the charming historic centre of Polpenazze del Garda, within an elegant and fully restored historic courtyard, this exceptional semi-detached residence with independent pedestrian access is the result of a meticulous renovation project that successfully preserves the building’s original character while incorporating the latest construction technologies and energy-efficient solutions.

The property stands out for the outstanding quality of its renovation, its excellent energy performance, and a highly functional layout designed to provide comfort, privacy, and practicality. It is equally suited as a prestigious primary residence for a family or as an exclusive holiday home on Lake Garda.

The entrance leads to the main living level, where a remarkable open-plan living area unfolds. Bright and spacious interiors are enhanced by whitewashed exposed wooden beams complemented by elegant integrated LED lighting, creating a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. The contemporary kitchen, featuring a large central island, seamlessly connects with the dining area and lounge.

Large glazed openings create a direct connection between the interior spaces and a magnificent terrace of generous proportions, undoubtedly one of the property’s most attractive features. This outdoor area serves as a natural extension of the living space and provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining, entertaining guests, creating a lounge area, or simply enjoying moments of relaxation.

The sleeping quarters comprise four bedrooms and three bathrooms distributed across the various levels of the home. On the first floor, adjacent to the living area, there is a bedroom and a bathroom. Thanks to its strategic position and generous dimensions, this room can easily be converted into a separate kitchen, offering additional flexibility for those who prefer a clear distinction between cooking and living spaces. The second floor accommodates the remaining sleeping area, featuring three spacious bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite bathroom, along with additional bathrooms serving the floor.

Descending to the lower floor, one is welcomed by one of the property’s most charming spaces: a striking tavern created from an ancient stable dating back to the late 18th century. The original stone vaults, carefully enhanced, tell the story of the building and create a warm, authentic atmosphere full of character. A space with great personality, ideal for convivial dinners, wine tastings, moments of relaxation or entertainment.

Also located on the lower level are the utility rooms and a spacious private garage, a particularly valuable feature within the historic centre. These service areas are practical and well organised, further enhancing the property’s functionality and everyday comfort.

Located in the heart of the historic center of Polpenazze del Garda, this property enjoys a highly desirable setting for those who wish to experience Lake Garda in an authentic way, away from the traffic and crowds of the more tourist-oriented destinations while remaining close to all essential services.

Polpenazze is one of the most characteristic villages of the Valtenesi area, a region renowned for its harmonious blend of natural beauty, scenic landscapes, fine food and wine traditions, and exceptional quality of life. Its historic center still preserves the charm of traditional Lake Garda villages, with panoramic squares, picturesque streets, and enchanting views that reflect the area’s rich heritage.

From the property, the village center can be comfortably reached on foot, offering local shops, cafés, restaurants, a pharmacy, bank, post office, and all the services needed for everyday living. This level of convenience is increasingly rare on Lake Garda, where many homes require the use of a car even for basic daily needs.

Within just a few minutes by car, you can reach the renowned beaches of Valtenesi, the marinas of Manerba del Garda and Moniga del Garda, the prestigious Garda Golf Country Club, and some of the area’s most celebrated wineries, famous for producing Garda Classico wines and Chiaretto rosé.

The location is also particularly attractive for those seeking a primary residence. Salò, Desenzano del Garda, Padenghe sul Garda, and Manerba del Garda are all easily accessible within minutes, while the nearby A4 motorway provides convenient connections to Brescia, Verona, and the major international airports of Northern Italy.

An ideal location both for those looking for an elegant year-round residence and for those seeking a refined holiday home in the heart of Lake Garda.

The property has undergone a comprehensive building and energy renovation involving the entire structure, with the aim of preserving the charm of its historic architecture while integrating the most advanced construction technologies and modern building systems.

The outstanding quality of the renovation is certified by the prestigious A4 Energy Rating, achieved through careful design of the building envelope and the installation of highly efficient systems powered predominantly by renewable energy sources.

From an energy perspective, the home is equipped with a 6.2 kW photovoltaic system integrated into the roof, complete with battery storage to maximize self-consumption of the energy produced. The property also features a state-of-the-art air-to-water heat pump providing both space heating and domestic hot water production. A wallbox installed in the garage allows convenient charging of electric vehicles, making the property fully prepared for sustainable mobility.

Heating is provided through underfloor radiant panels, ensuring uniform heat distribution, exceptional living comfort and reduced energy consumption. Individual room temperatures can be managed through programmable thermostats and independent zoning controls, allowing precise customization and further optimization of energy use.

Particular attention has been devoted to the thermal insulation of the building envelope. The external walls have been upgraded with a high-performance thermal insulation system, while selected areas have been enhanced with internal rock wool insulation. The roof has also been fully insulated, contributing significantly to the excellent energy performance achieved by the property.
