A family-run farm stay in the countryside of Castelnuovo del Garda, near Verona, with its own wines from the Bardolino and Custoza appellations.
At a glance
Agriturismo La Palazzina is a farm stay on Via Palazzina, in the farmland of Castelnuovo del Garda, in the province of Verona. The owners’ description presents it as a recently renovated farmhouse with four apartments and five guest rooms, an outdoor pool and a garden. Individual chalets were added in 2020. The farm sells its own wines under the name Corte Palazzina: Bardolino DOC, Custoza DOC, Bardolino Chiaretto DOC and a sparkling white.
History
The farmhouse has no documented history of its own. The town it belongs to does. Castelnuovo was rebuilt as a fortified settlement, the Castrum novum, after Barbarossa destroyed the earlier village in the twelfth century, and Gian Galeazzo Visconti built its castle in 1387 inside a double ring of walls.
On 11 April 1848 a column of about 400 Lombard volunteers fought some 3,000 Austrian troops here for roughly three hours. The Austrians then sacked and burned the village. A Monument to the Martyrs recalls the dead, and the town marks the anniversary every April.
What you see
The Visconti tower still rises over the old centre of Castelnuovo, its crenellated top visible from the surrounding streets. At La Palazzina itself, the owners describe a pool set in the garden, chalets spaced apart among the greenery and a cellar shop where guests can buy the farm’s bottles. Seasonal fruit from the farm is offered to guests.
