History
For decades, our family has spent their holidays on the northern Italian lakes. We have always dreamed of a lake house with enough space for our entire family. In 2021 this dream came true, and Villa Celeste was born. With an interior designer inside the family, we dared to start a big renovation project. We renovated the house with a lot of love - always with the proviso to preserve and re-interpret the original charm of the house which is from the 1970s.
We hope that you will enjoy every moment in our Italian home and feel the devotion with which we have redesigned our Villa Celeste, making it a unique and unforgettable place.
