località San Vigilio, 37016 Garda Vr

Villa Guarienti is located in Punta San Vigilio, an extreme promontory of Mount Baldo that penetrates the lake dividing the Gulf of Garda from the bay of the Sirens, certainly the most evocative site of the Veronese coast.

Villa Guarienti, is a building of 1540, commissioned by the learned Agostino Brenzoni and then passed to the Counts Guarienti di Brenzone, the residence is presented as a cubic construction with simple and severe forms, relevant to the rules of the humanistic-literary villa, probably due to the hand by Michele Sanmicheli, an eminent figure of the Verona architect of the sixteenth century. A portico surmounted by a loggia enlivened the façade on the lake according to a peaceful succession of shadows and lights, Beautiful late Renaissance setting garden, with precious elements of humanistic culture such as the round surrounded by tall cypress trees and adorned with Roman busts, seems brought during the sack of Rome. The garden dates back to the 18th century and is a valid example of an Italian garden; there are other buildings of the same period, including one with a double loggia overlooking the lake near the characteristic port; there is also a small church of very ancient origins and many times restored. The villa is accessed via an avenue of cypress trees that runs through an olive grove. The villa is inhabited by the Counts Guarienti di Brenzone, of whom Countess Vittoria died in 1985, daughter of Jolanda di Savoia and grandson of Vittorio Emanuele III and of Umberto II, last king of Italy.
