The house
Idro / Lago di Idro / Brescia
In 1977 my parents built a house in their home town – Idro on Lago di Idro, in the province of Brescia
It was originally planned as a house for our family and my maternal grandparents. After a few years, my father’s parents also moved in with us, so I grew up with my parents, my brother and both grandparents in a large house with three apartments.
A few years ago my parents passed away and my brother and I inherited the house. We renovated it and now rent out the three apartments. I rent out the part that we used to live in as a family: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 toilet, kitchen, living room, garage and laundry room as well as several terraces and a large garden. The total area is almost 150 m² and is spread over 2 levels plus basement.

In the living room there are 2 sofas, one of which can be pulled out as a sofa bed, and a dining table. There is a guest toilet on the first floor. The kitchen is fully equipped with crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils and all the necessary accessories. There is a gas hob, oven, fridge and various kitchen appliances.
On the upper floor (via stairs) there are three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a roof terrace. 1 double room has an adjoining bathroom (bathtub) and can also be rented as a self-contained unit. The large master bedroom and a children’s room with a single bed have another shared bathroom (shower). This unit for 4 people can also be rented separately. The large roof terrace can be reached via the hallway.

Lago di Idro
Idro district of Pieve Vecchia
Lago di Idro is located approx. 30 km west of Lake Garda. Situated on the major south-north axis from Brescia to Trento or Madonna di Campiglio, Lago di Idro has always been discovered by tourists in summer and winter, but has retained its tranquility and unspoiled nature.
Pieve Vecchia
Our house is located in the Pieve Vecchia district in a side street off Via Trento. It is set back and thus protected from the noise of through traffic. Within a short distance you can reach various cafés, restaurants, a bank and a small supermarket on the main street.
To the lake
In about 800 m from the house you will find the first beach in Lemprato. There are also restaurants, a bar and a kiosk right on the lake. The route is easy to manage on foot. There are also 4 bicycles available in our vacation home. There are plenty of parking spaces for cars.
For shopping
A short walk further along the shore of the lake is the district of Crone. Here you will find more restaurants, bars and a small supermarket. Well-stocked, fresh goods and a good price/performance ratio can be found at Jolly Market. Farmers market day is every Wednesday. A the dock you will find our 4-seater, 10 hp motorboat. No license nedded.
Impressions
Pictures say more than words
We renovated my parents’ house and tried to retain the original design and Italian charm while at the same time converting everything to a modern interior. Take a look at the pictures.
The house offers space for 6 people in 3 bedrooms (2x double bed, 1x bunk bed). 2 additional people can sleep on a sofa bed in the living room. On the upper floor there is the possibility of dividing the unit into 1 double room with bathroom and 1 double room plus children’s room with bathroom. The living room and kitchen can then be used together.
