About this property

A beautiful, spacious, family home in a lovely mountain village, near to Lake Garda and Lake Iseo.

La Favola is a spacious detached villa with private gardens, beautiful balconies, stunning scenery and is the ideal place to switch off and relax.

Comfortably sleeping 8 people; there are four smart double or twin bedrooms over two floors, each with its own en-suite bathroom.

The stylish upper floor has wonderful charm with a pretty kitchen, large dining hall, comfortable living room and two bedrooms.

The lower floor has an entrance hall and further two well-appointed bedrooms with private bathrooms.

Two large balconies offer all day sunny aspects and panoramic mountain views.

Ideally positioned on a quiet lane shared by friendly neighbours, the villa receives full sun from dawn until dusk and therefore its balconies and gardens are wonderful places to relax and dine with a BBQ and drinks.

The lower balcony has a large outdoor table and seating for 8 people.

In the evening La Favola becomes truly enchanting with beautiful mountain silhouettes, crickets chirping and amazing night time skies.

Both romantic and welcoming, La Favola makes a great stay for all, including couples, families or groups of friends who want to discover the region by day and relax in the evenings.

The house is comfortably furnished and well equipped with plenty of space, making it homely and relaxing.

Other memorable days out can be found close by at Lake Iseo, Lake Garda and Lake Idro, with boat trips, waterparks, theme parks or watersports for families to choose from. Wine Tours and Golf are nearby in Franciacorta, Slightly further away you can visit Verona, famous for its Arena and open air Opera.

The great thing about La Favola is its situation, whichever direction you take you will find a Mountain, Vineyard or a Lake!

Breathtaking!

The house is lokated in a wonderfull small vilage with a breathtaking view! Everyone in the area is extremely friendly and helpful, no matter what the problem is. I never had so much fun finding the direction to a pizzeria ;) You should definitely look at and visit the recommendations for restaurants. It's been a very long time since we were so impressed by the food! We will return!

Maison très confortable

Tout était très bien. Les chambres, les salles de bain, la salle à manger et le salon, la buanderie etc. La situation permet d’être dans un environnement exceptionnel, mais revers de la médaille, attendez-vous à passer quelques heures en voiture sur des routes étroites et tortueuses si vous voulez visiter la région. Heureusement les automobilistes Italiens sont très courtois. Un petit bémol: il n’y a pas de récipient suffisamment grand pour cuisiner comme il faut des spaghettis pour 8 personnes. Et en Italie c’est quand même dommage.

Amazing!

The house and location were beyond expectations! Jo was so helpful and gave recommendations for local restaurants and activities in the region. The bread and pastries were such a lovely start to each day. Lake iseo was beautiful and we swam in the lake each day. Jo also recommended routes to drive or avoid, which was so helpful as we were not familiar with mountain road driving. Thank you for an amazing week.

Remote but Perfect

Jo was more than helpful and when we got there her neighbour was great with checking in. Exactly as we thought it would be. Would recommend this as a place to stay, it is convenient to visit surrounding lakes and great to relax.

Pleasant quite stay in the mountains

If you're looking for a quite place to stay in the mountains, this is the right place! The house is big enough for a family with children and a dog. Is it an old "Chalet" with a lot of charm. The owner is very nice and reachable anytime. Everybody in the village is here to help, especially the neighbours if you need anything! We even had bred, drinks and other stuff bought and put in the fridge before our arrival as we arrived on a Sunday. I would recommend the place but be aware that you will need a car if you want to visit bigger cities as you of course need time to go up / down the mountains

About the host

Hosted by Jo Davies

Jo moved to Italy in 2004 after visiting the region for holidays.
She took time out after falling in love with Marmentino and its wonderful way of life, it’s scenery, climate, people and of course it’s great food!
La Favola became home for ten years during which time she started a business with local Italian companies and embarked on a journey which eventually brought her back to England.
Having made many friends in the village, and still loving La Favola, she decided not to sell the villa and keep it as her second home from home, and one that in 2018, she and her husband are delighted to let others discover and experience too.
The villa has been closed for two years due to Covid. We are now delighted to open again for summer 2022!

Why they chose this property

La Favola offers all year round relaxation, enjoying the change of seasons at all times of year.
A delightful villa, immersed in greenery and one to be visited throughout the year. Great for couples, friends or family taking a few days break, or an extended holiday of up to thirty days. The Alpine Style architecture makes the large villa characterful and cosy .
The location escapes the extreme humidity that often makes it too hot to sleep at night, yet basks in heat and sunshine during summer days; the air is warm and fresh, not stifling and arid.
The villa’s aspects are wonderful and the sun rises and sets on both balconies making most days of the year, including Winter, sunny and uplifting with the skies and mountains shining in the sunlight.
The climate is lovely all year round and the air is clean.
All of the seasons can be enjoyed: Spring with beautiful alpine flowers, Summer with lazy days and local festivals, Autumn with a stunning display of colour, and Winter with snowy days and skiing close by.

What makes this property unique

Both romantic and welcoming, La Favola makes a great stay for all, including couples, families or groups of friends who want to discover the region by day and relax in the evenings.
Ideally positioned on a quiet lane shared by friendly neighbours, the villa receives full sun from dawn until dusk and therefore its balconies and gardens are wonderful places to relax and dine with barbeque and drinks.
