Villa Giusti del Giardino

Info
Venetian villa dating back to the 15th century located in the green countryside of Sona.

Set in the green countryside of the moraine hills of the Garda hinterland, Villa Giusti del Giardino was built in the first half of the 15th century by the Spolverini family. It later passed to the Muselli family and finally to the Giusti del Giardino family. Today, the villa is owned by the Dal Santo family.

Once, the villa was the hub of various activities with its warehouses and workshops, along with a land area of 150 fields cultivated with wheat, millet, grapes, and the essential mulberries and spaces for silkworm cultivation and silk production. The strategic location and the grandeur of the building led it to become headquarters during the wartime events of the 19th and 20th centuries. In more recent times, it hosted distinguished guests including Queen Elizabeth. The complex, listed in the catalog of the Venetian Villas, showcases remarkable architectural features while maintaining a strong connection to the countryside. A baroque chapel dedicated to Santa Maria is present.
