This $42 Million Estate in Italy Has Its Own Castle, Vineyard, and 12th-Century Church

If you’ve ever fantasized about a place in Italy that has everything you need for la dolce vita, this Lake Garda estate might just be the ticket. Recently listed with Savills for €36 million (about $42 million), the sprawling property doesn’t have a grand residence but also an authentic castle, along with a consecrated 12th-century church, its own vineyard, and olive groves. The rural spread sits on a sunny, secluded hillside above Bardolino, with wide-open views across Lake Garda and the surrounding countryside. Lake Garda, Italy’s largest lake, about halfway between Venice and Milan, is best known today for sailing and windsurfing, but the surrounding mountains are layered with history too, including World War I–era “open-air museums” carved into the peaks.
