The road is empty and the car meanders through the mountains and along the lake shore, overlooking the calm water, surrounded by fir trees and a few alpine villages scattered here and there. We are at the Casa d'Idro, in the municipality of Idro, on the western shore of the lake in a panoramic and sunny position. The oldest structure of the House dates back to the period between the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance. We are talking about the 15th century and we immediately notice the conformation of the building, with the ground floor and its portico, the typical stables, a series of storerooms and cellars, while on the first floor, as was customary in the past, we find the living quarters, barns and other rooms that once served the function of extra storage rooms, but which today could be rooms, communal spaces or other, depending on how one wants to re-imagine the distribution of space. Crowning the ancient farmhouse is a fund, part of which is used for grazing, part for fodder production, with an orchard, wood and vegetable garden. In short, an ancient farmhouse worthy of a setting for a Boccaccio tale. In fact, the farmhouse features architectural elements and artefacts that constitute significant evidence of local history and art, which in this case are also recognised as being of immeasurable cultural and architectural value. It has been years, if not decades now, that the world has completely changed, and although one would like to tell a long story of ancient intrigues, love affairs, victories and defeats, a tale worthy of an epic novel, we are forced to return from our journey through time and note that, as is the case in many cases, modernity has brought about the cessation of farming and livestock breeding, leading to the loss of the land's peculiar vocation. But, as we all know, one door closes and another one opens. The current owners, who are engaged in other activities, have always, in keeping with family tradition, kept the building and grounds in good condition. In fact, they have carried out numerous maintenance works on the main building, also at a structural level, and have periodically mowed the grass, cut wood and cared for the fruit trees, keeping the entire property in good condition.à. In the light of all this, the possibilities for functional recovery are many, from a tourist-restaurant and restaurant vocation to socio-healthcare or senior housing, but also purely residential, all of which obviously implies the restoration of the main building with a redistribution of the internal spaces and a feasibility assessment of the construction of new facilities to increase the opportunities and services to be offered depending on the final destination. Here, along the magnificent Lake Idro, in an old house full of history and ready to welcome new and even more beautiful ones.

Today we are ready for a Vespa outing, the sun has already shown itself in all its splendour since early morning, contrasting with the turquoise sky. Riding along the western Gardesana today is more beautiful than ever, to the left the ancient walls bordering Lake Garda and to the right all the shades of green of the vegetation. I love not going too fast on my motorbike and with my helmet back with goggles because I am also lucky enough to smell the scents which, combined with the landscape, make for a 360° experience. Our tour starts from Monte Gu, as they call it here, we are over 1550 m on Monte Pizzocolo where we can admire the Adamello group, Monte Rosa, the Apennines, Monte Baldo and the ValVestino dam. We stop at the "due aceri" bivouac, where there is a small church dedicated to the fallen of all wars, because from the top we truly have a wonderful view of the enchanted place in which the property we are about to see is set. Back on our bikes, we finally head for Toscolano Maderno which, as I have told you, is located on the western shore of Lake Garda, in the province of Brescia. This small town has ancient roots, even dating back to Roman times, and is known for its natural beauty, with its breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding hills, but also for its rich history and culture. In the past it was also an important centre of paper production in the afternoon walk to the Valle delle Cartiere we will see an interesting paper museum. The two-room apartment set in a modern residential centre overlooks on one side the ancient port of Toscolano, which between the 15th and 18th centuries was a centre for sorting paper and iron, from where boats arrived and departed for Venice, and on the other the practical swimming pool set in the beautiful condominium park, which allows us to enjoy our holidays with all the comforts. We reach the flat, which is on the third floor, by an external staircase overlooking the central park, and from here we access the living area with two views, one of which overlooks the small terrace overlooking the lake and the other the terrace from which we entered. The sleeping area is independent and bordered by a door beyond which is the bathroom with shower and to the right the master bedroom which overlooks the terrace with pool view and to the left the single bedroom which overlooks the small balcony with lake view. The staircase from the living room leads to a splendid private terrace on the fourth and top floor, structured in such a way as to guarantee total privacy and a special place to spend evenings alone or in company. You thought the surprises were over? Wrong, the flat is completed by a garage and a practical cellar. How? OK let's get the bike and go and see it...you will be as enraptured as I am.

Yellow convertible Beetle, music by Bob Marley, around us alternate shades of green, yellow and brown of the plowed and cultivated fields while above us the sky is the color of sugar paper. Before visiting the property, a stop in the center of Gonzaga, a small rural town in the Po Valley halfway between Mantua and Reggio Emilia which gave its name to one of the most illustrious Italian families of the Renaissance. There is always something to discover and the cuisine and wine of the area never disappoints. Today I am curious to visit, I really love old country houses and I like to see how they have been restored. My expectations were not disappointed and after walking down the driveway an imposing two-storey clay brick house with petrol green shutters stood out. A paved pedestrian entrance flanked by multicolored hydrangeas leads us to the finely renovated double-leaf wooden door in pleasant contrast with the glass and iron solution of the door which allows natural light to enter the reception. Yes, because on the ground floor a B&B has been cleverly created with welcoming and large rooms from which you can admire the breath-taking view of the plain, equipped with fireplaces and en suite bathrooms and a large kitchen space to indulge in. On the first floor, with access from an internal staircase, we find the master apartment. Three large bedrooms, a large kitchen, the heart of the house in the tradition of rural families and two warm and welcoming living rooms heated by ancient terracotta stoves from the early twentieth century. We take a last flight of stairs and here we are in the attic, another huge space to design and think about. This farm is a perfect combination of ancient and modern, in which the renovated blends with the recovered in a welcoming harmony that makes you immediately feel at home. Around the main farmhouse, forming a square with the well in the centre, there are 3 other buildings, what I call the farmhouse, a two-storey building which could become the annex with 2 or more residential units, the old dovecote and a further building currently used as tool storage and shelter. The possibilities of use are manifold: I would see well a restaurant activity perhaps using the outdoor spaces for weddings and ceremonies in pure roof style, or expand the B&B with other themed or two -room apartments in the household, or the creation of spaces for teaching workshops perhaps with the addition of animals typical of the farm and why not also keep the existing one by dedicating themselves to dog breeding. For those who love the countryside, this property already has everything you could want, the stars in the window, the ladybugs on the tree and the bottle of white wine in the fridge, all it takes is a little imagination to transform it into your place of life and passion.

Imagine a man like Marcovaldo — a character created by Italian writer Italo Calvino — a simple, dreamy soul who sees nature and beauty hidden in the cracks of a busy, modern city. That’s exactly how he would have looked at this apartment: like a rare, gentle animal that wandered into his life by pure chance. He was in Milan, yes, but in a corner of the city that felt almost like a promise: quiet in the morning, sky-blue in the afternoon, and scented with rain in the evening. The living area — as the real estate agent called it — had a large window and a French door leading onto a balcony. Not just a token balcony, but a real one, wide enough for a small table and two chairs. Here Marcovaldo, like a king restored to his throne, would eat under the open sky, watching for clouds tucked between the rooftops or a flutter of pigeons adding a poetic touch to his meal. And then there was the bathroom... with a real window! For someone used to shaving in misty, shadowy rooms, this small opening to the outside world felt like pure luxury. He would now shave bathed in sunlight, watching leaves quiver on the trees in the courtyard, feeling almost like he was on holiday. The bedroom — though he occupied it alone — had a window so wide that waking up felt like being inside a painting. Light streamed in without asking permission, making the bedsheets shine like snow under the sun. There were even two closets: one in the hallway, one near the bathroom. Spacious, orderly, with a scent of new wood that filled him with a quiet hope. Marcovaldo, who had once rolled his shirts into drawers, now hung them with care, as if preparing for grand events. In this apartment, every window was a new beginning. Every closet, a promise. And every meal on the balcony, a tiny dream made real.
