Once the home of Gaetano Donizetti, the famous operatic composer of the first half of the 1800's, the charming Villa Monet could be described architecturally as a lakeshore chalet. It has direct access to a private swimming beach. From the parking area, at street level above the villa, there is a steeply sloping garden footpath, bordered by giant bamboo, azalea and rhododendron bushes, of about 150 meters (with some small steps) to reach the villa. Therefore, this property is not recommended for anyone with walking problems.

A beautiful terrace for dining overlooks the lake, and there are two other outdoor dining areas, one in the shade and one in the sun. A double barbecue is located just outside the kitchen. The outdoor areas provide wonderful space for dining al fresco.

Villa Monet has four floors and all rooms overlook the lake. On the ground floor is a living room with fireplace and TV (no satellite), a sitting room, a dining room and a large, well-equipped family kitchen. The kitchen has a freezer, a refrigerator, a dishwasher and bright country-style ceramic dishes. Each room has furniture, ornaments and paintings that nicely complement the era in which the house was built. There is a bathroom on the ground floor with a sink and a shower and a WC. On the next floor there are 2 bedrooms, one with twin beds and one with a double bed. Each bedroom is equipped with a sink. On the next floor there are a bedroom with twin beds that can be made up as one or made up separately, a queen-sized bedroom, and two bathrooms, one with shower and WC and one with small tub and hand held shower, bidet and WC. On the top floor, the mansarda, there is a large bedroom with queen-sized bed and sitting area with a skylight and spectacular view of the lake. On this floor there also is a laundry room with a washing machine and drying rack.
