Rustico Sasso – Authentic Charm Among Olive Groves With Panoramic Views Over Lake Garda

Nestled among the enchanting olive groves of Malcesine, in a panoramic position of rare beauty, “Rustico Sasso” is a truly unique property whose history dates back to before 1900. The most recent renovation, carried out in 1990, carefully preserved the authentic atmosphere and timeless character of traditional residences, further enhanced by breathtaking views over Lake Garda.
The property is arranged over three levels, each enjoying splendid views across the lake and the ancient Scaliger Castle. Inside, spacious and versatile interiors welcome you with warmth and charm: on the first floor, a bright living area with kitchen opens upwards through the mezzanine above, where exposed stone walls and wooden beams create a cosy and character-filled ambiance.
A staircase leads to the second floor, where there is a room ideal as a reading or relaxation area overlooking the living space below, along with a bedroom and a bathroom. From every window, the lake unfolds like a living painting. Continuing upwards, you reach the charming turret that hosts the master bedroom, set in a privileged position overlooking the entire property.
The ground floor features the ancillary area with an independent entrance, a traditional tavern room, and a spacious room currently used as a bedroom with its own bathroom. Adjacent are the garage and outdoor parking spaces.
Completing this captivating home is a large covered portico with a fireplace, extending along the sunniest side of the property — the perfect setting for convivial gatherings and relaxing outdoor moments surrounded by peace and natural beauty.
“Rustico Sasso” is embraced by an olive garden, a true green oasis ideal for unwinding or entertaining guests in complete privacy. (The hot tub shown is purely a design suggestion.)
This remarkable property is the perfect choice for those seeking to live in close contact with nature without giving up the authentic charm of a historic residence. Versatile and full of atmosphere, it invites you to experience every corner of its timeless appeal.

If you are searching for a unique home rich in history and authentic character, this is an unmissable opportunity.

The property is located in Malcesine, a renowned destination on the Veronese shore of Lake Garda, just a few minutes from its most picturesque beaches. The setting is rich in tourist appeal and historical charm, enhanced by iconic landmarks such as the Scaliger Castle and the famous historic sailing vessel Siora Veronica. The area is also celebrated for its food and wine traditions and for producing outstanding local specialties, including the renowned Garda extra virgin olive oil, made from the olive groves that define the surrounding hillside landscape.

This stretch of the lake is considered a true paradise for sailors and windsurfing enthusiasts, thanks to the constant winds known as the “Ora” and the “Peler,” which shape the rhythm of the day as they blow steadily from north to south. The scenery is among the most captivating on Lake Garda: the waters shift through ever-changing shades, from the white of the waves to deep blue, azure, silver reflections, and the warm golden hues of summer sunsets.
Rising behind the village is the majestic Monte Baldo, reaching over 2,000 metres in altitude and easily accessible via the Malcesine-Monte Baldo Cableway, located just a few minutes from the property — ideal for trekking and mountain bike enthusiasts. The climate is particularly mild thanks to the influence of the lake, with temperate winters that make this destination enjoyable even during the spring and autumn seasons.
It is the perfect place for those who wish to combine relaxation with outdoor activities: from invigorating swims and lakeside walks to excursions through olive groves and panoramic trails in the hinterland, as well as pleasant cycling routes along dedicated bike paths.
Well connected to the Brescia shore by frequent ferry services, Malcesine is approximately one hour from Verona and just over 30 minutes from the Rovereto motorway exit.
