Prestigious location in the historic center
In the heart of Desenzano del Garda, just 100 meters from the shores of Lake Garda, we are pleased to offer for sale this magnificent historic palazzo—a building spanning from the ground floor to the upper levels.
Properties of this type and location are exceptionally rare on the market. Situated in the vibrant historic center yet within walking distance of the waterfront, the building boasts a unique combination of location, architectural character, and development potential.
A unique development opportunity
This historic property presents an attractive opportunity for investors, developers, and hospitality operators seeking an asset with significant potential for renovation and value appreciation.
The property's scale, central location, and current layout allow for the realization of various projects (subject to obtaining the necessary permits), including:
● High-end residential complex
● Luxury apartment complex
● Boutique hotel
● Luxury residence or serviced apartments
● Premium hospitality project
● Mixed-use complex
The property offers a rare opportunity to create a unique landmark project in one of the most sought-after towns on Lake Garda. Design and Approvals
The proposed renovation project has already received approval from the Italian Heritage Authority (*Soprintendenza*).
A geological survey has also been conducted regarding the planned installation of a construction crane on the property's own private area in front of the building; the feasibility of this installation has been verified and confirmed, eliminating the need to use municipal land.
An exchange for residential real estate may be considered (subject to agreement).
The Building
Ground Floor:
The ground floor currently houses a former historic restaurant that was highly popular in the city; it features an exclusive outdoor area at the entrance, and the interior spaces are in good condition.
The existing spaces offer excellent potential for conversion into a stylish private residence, a reception area, or another premium-class facility (subject to obtaining the necessary permits). Upper Floors:
The three residential floors require complete renovation, offering exceptional opportunities to create luxury apartments, exclusive suites, or a high-end hotel complex.
Maximum Flexibility in Layout
The building offers great flexibility regarding future use.
Depending on the approved project, it could be transformed into a complex of prestigious private residences, an intimate boutique hotel, an upscale apartment building, or a premium mixed-use property.
The option to install an internal elevator would further enhance accessibility and ease of movement between floors.
A Rare Advantage: Private Outdoor Space
One of the property's unique features is an exclusive internal courtyard—a rarity in the historic center of Desenzano.
This private outdoor area can significantly enhance the appeal of the future project (whether a residential complex, hotel, or commercial property), providing valuable space for relaxation, al fresco dining, or entertaining guests. Construction and Logistics
Despite its location in the historic center, the property offers convenient access routes for construction machinery—a significant practical advantage when executing a large-scale renovation project in a historic area characterized primarily by pedestrian traffic.
Existing Architectural Studies
Architectural studies and preliminary design documentation have already been prepared; these serve as a valuable starting point for the project's further development and allow for the optimization of design and planning processes.

With its unique location, substantial size, historic value, and private outdoor space—combined with existing studies and an approved renovation concept—this property represents a unique proposition for those planning to create a luxury residential or hotel complex at one of Italy’s most prestigious lakeside resorts.
