Property Description
In Borgo Poncarale, near Brescia, Villa Gallo Rizzardi stands within a park of approximately 12,000 sqm (129,167 sq ft).Its foundations rest on the remains of an ancient temple dedicated to Jupiter Pluvius, while its current architectural layout dates to the 15th century.A pond and fountain enhance the park surrounding the villa and its striking arcaded courtyard, creating a harmonious relationship between architecture and landscape.The ground floor features reception rooms and frescoed halls with works attributed to Lattanzio Gambara, depicting Apollo and the nine Muses alongside pastoral scenes. Original terracotta floors preserve their historic character. The first floor features six suites with private bathrooms, many adorned with frescoes, and a large hall with exposed beams and terracotta ceiling tiles. Decorative parquet flooring enhances the bedrooms and hall.The villa takes its name from Agostino Gallo, the Renaissance agronomist who acquired the estate and wrote important works on agriculture here. Recently renovated, it has been adapted for hospitality and events and remains registered as a Foresteria Lombarda (Lombardy guesthouse). The property enjoys a strategic location: the Brescia Ovest exit of the A4 motorway is approximately ten minutes away, while Lake Garda can be reached in around 30 minutes by car.
