On the southwestern shores of Lake Garda lies a remarkable historic relais, once a Franciscan monastery and now a private estate available for film, events, and exclusive stays. Set high on a hillside with sweeping lake views, the property combines centuries of history with modern comfort, offering an unforgettable setting for productions or private gatherings.

The main building features 22 guest apartments, each with its own bathroom, along with original monastery spaces that now house a rustic restaurant and a private chapel—perfect for authentic period backdrops or intimate ceremony scenes. The estate retains many historical details, including stonework, vaulted spaces, and traditional finishes, while offering flexibility for filming in both indoor and outdoor areas.

Surrounding the buildings, the 42,000 sq. m. property is immersed in an olive grove, providing privacy and natural beauty. A 10×20 m swimming pool overlooks the lake and enjoys full sun throughout the day, while a large panoramic terrace offers cinematic views of the water and surrounding hills. Additional amenities include gardens, gazebos, fireplaces, and ample staging areas.

With accommodations for up to 22 guests, three office spaces, parking for 30 cars plus campers, and the option to rent the entire estate exclusively, this Lake Garda relais is both practical and picturesque. It offers productions the rare opportunity to capture the atmosphere of a historic monastery within a private, self-contained setting surrounded by Italy’s most enchanting landscapes.
