| | Welcome Casa Salvati on Lake Garda! | Casa Salvati, an original architect's house from 1972, was designed by Alberto Salvati (b.1935) and Ambrogio Tresoldi (b.1933) on a hill in Monte Maderno on the west bank of Lake Garda. In 2019 new owners renovated it with great care and respect to preserve the charm of the historical architecture. High-quality design furniture give the house its special flair. Experience it yourself: the house can be rented as holiday home!
