Built between the XVIII and the XIX century by the Marquises Carlotti, when they left their ancient palace in the centre of Garda. When they died, they hadn't heirs, so the villa became propriety of the Marquises of Canossa of Verona in the 1900s. The palace, with a typical 1700 achitecture, was widened in the 1800s. It has a big English park in front of the façade.

Alessandra Ridini, a descendant of the Sicilian Princes Paternò (1876-1931) lived for a long period in the Villa, both during her tormented relationship with the poet Gabriele D'Annunzio, and at the end of their loving affair, for a period of solitude and reflection. Being judged badly by the society, she became a nurse and died in a French monastery.
