Beautiful stay

We had a wonderful holiday at Lake Garda. It is so beautiful with lovely trips on the lake and walking round the area. The apartment suited us very well. It is very clean and well cared for and definitely the best equipped home we have stayed in which helped to make the holiday stress free. The only thing to be aware of is that it is hilly - the walk back up from a meal out was fine for us but something to be aware of if you’re holidaying without a car.

Great location; Fabulous host

Very convenient location within a mile or less of town, grocery store and train station. Very walkable to all (there is a bit of a hill coming back from town but my 92 year old father managed fine). The unit itself is exactly as depicted in photos. The complex and lake views are gorgeous. By far the best thing about the property, however, is the owner, Giovanna. She was always available to answer any questions or address any issues that came up. She takes great pride in her home and goes out of her way to make sure that your stay is the best it can be!

We had a fabulous stay at this beautiful property which had everything we needed - a real home from home. The location is excellent for visiting the towns and sites of Lake Garda, as well as the cities of Milan, Verona and Venice (easily accessed by train). Giovanna's recommendations of places to eat and visit helped us find some little gems that we would have otherwise missed - what a generous and thoughtful hostess! The pool is so lovely and being in a residential community it is often empty. The food and wine welcome gift was appreciated. So much to do.....we will definitely be going back!

We stayed as a family of 4 for 2 weeks in August 2019. From start to finish Giovanna was so kind & so friendly. She checked in with us everyday & even brought us to the supermarket for supplies. The Apartment is 13 minutes walk to the Center of town with many beautiful restaurants & cafe bars. Would highly recommend 5 star.

Fabulous!

This is a fantastic apartment full of Italian charm and never before have we had such a warm welcome from a host. The apartment is extremely comfortable, fully equippped, very clean and was really spacious for the two of us. The swimming pool is fantastic and was an added bonus - it is immaculately clean and was never busy during our stay. Perfect for a quick dip or relaxing in the sun on the private sun beds. The owner, Giovanna, is absolutely lovely and couldn't do enough to help us. She helped with directions to the apartment, looking out for us on arrival and was full of useful information about the area and provided lots of great recommendations. We had regular contact with Giovanna throughout our stay and she took a genuine interest in what we were up to. Some supplies were also provided including coffee and prosecco which were much appreciated! The apartment is in a great location, the train station is 5 mins walk and the town centre is a 15 mins walk. Desenzano itself is a fabulous buzzing town and great for people watching. We found lots of lovely restaurants and bars, our favourite being the Il Tagliere wine bar and Corte Pozzi restaurant, both part of Hotel Alessi. We visited the many beautiful towns round the lake and also took the fast train to Venice. Verona is also a short drive away and the open air opera was an amazing experience. Overall this is one of the best apartments we have ever stayed in, we loved it from the moment we stepped in the front door. It felt like a second home and we were genuinely sad to leave. We will definitely be back and couldn't recommend it highly enough!

Perfecto !! great location, well equipped apartment

On arrival Giovanna greeted us like old friends. The apartment is superb, everything you will need for your stay. The location is perfect, a 10 minute walk from both the station and lake front. The weather was extremely hot during our stay, the airconditioning was needed, especially at night. The pool is clean, can be used anytime of the day and is for exclusive use of the residents, it did not get busy at all. Desenzano was a great base for the lake, we did so much it was just superb. Lots of information and recommendations by Giovanna she was always on hand to advise, we will definetly book again. Grazie tantissimo che ci è piaciuto molto 🇮🇹🇬🇧❤️💚💙

Wonderful.

We spent 2 weeks in July in Giovanna’s lovely apartment and had a wonderful stay there. Upon our arrival Giovanna greeted us warmly as if we were family or old friends. She made us feel immediately welcome and at home and took the time to show us all the features of the apartment and pool area, as well as giving us lots of useful tips on places to go and things to do. She also left us a welcome pack and the Prosecco was a lovely touch, though the kids were probably more excited by the Nutella! As others have said, the apartment is bigger than the pictures indicate and is spotlessly clean and very well equipped (lovely soft bath towels, beach towels, bed linen etc.) as well as kitchen basics like salt, pepper, coffee and olive oil. We got regular updates on WhatsApp from Giovanna, and she was on call if needed, and was genuinely interested in how our holiday was going. The pool is large, clean and attended by a lifeguard. It is a mainly residential complex, so it’s very quiet in the mornings, a little busier in the afternoon and again at weekends. The sun loungers are allocated to each apartment so you can come and go as you please. There is a decent sized kitchen for cooking with all the utensils you’d need. The main terrace is perfect for eating, as it never gets the sun directly but is warm and pleasant with a view to the lake and mountains. A second terrace overlooks the pool and is nice to sit on in the evenings when the sun goes down. The beds are very comfortable, and the main bathroom is large with a good shower. The area itself is lovely and quiet – a 10 min walk to train station, 10 min to a nice park with a great playground for kids & a café, 15 mins (downhill) into Desenzano. The town itself is fabulous with lots of shops and restaurants, a market on Tuesday, and White Night on Wednesday nights, when shops open late and there is live music in the square and a lively buzz in the town. There are a few nice pebbly beaches where you can hire loungers and pedal boats to go out on the lake. It has a long boardwalk all along the shore for anybody who likes to run or walk – especially early in the morning when it is quiet and breezy. The other towns around the lake are easily accessible by ferry and neighbouring Sirmione is only a 20 minute journey away. Venice was well worth a 90 min train trip. Overall it was a wonderful place to visit and Giovanna’s warmth and friendliness makes it a really great place to stay

Während des gesamten Aufenthalts war Sie immer mit uns in Kontakt und hat uns Tipps und Empfehlungen für Ausflüge usw. gegeben. Besonders gefallen hat uns "Die Isola dei Conigli", der Aquapark und Verona. Oder einfach relaxen am Pool. Und nicht zu vergessen "Ristorante Mirabello". Wir hoffen, eines Tages wieder zu kommen.

Wonderful holiday at Garda Lake

We had two wonderful weeks in the house in Desenzano. The apartement is well equipped, very nice and clean. We didn't miss anything and it felt like home. We loved sitting on the balcony and swimming in the pool which is awesome. There weren't many people, so it was always quiet, especially in the morning and evening. We had a lot of towels for the two bathrooms and the four sun loungers . When the weather was hot the air conditioning was very helpful to sleep well at night. It was practical to have a garage and a washing machine. Nearby the house (10-15 minutes by foot) is a small supermarket (Conad) where we could buy anything we wanted. You only need 5 minutes by car to a big supermarket (esselunga) in Desenzano. We liked this small city and the surrounding area very much. We made lots of nice trips to interesting places at the eastern coast of Garda Lake and on the mountains but also to Verona and Venice. Giovanna is a very kind person. Every day she gave us helpful advices. She greeted us very warm hearted and said goodbye personally. We would love to rent her appartement and visit Desenzano and Garda Lake a second time. Lovely greetings from Düsseldorf

Quel accueil !

Bien entendu il y a le logement, très spacieux, bien agencé, bien équipé, très propre. Evidemment, il y a le cadre extérieur, vue sur le lac, agréable piscine peu fréquentée, région magnifique et accès facile vers les grands poles touristiques de la région (Vérone, Sirmione, Bergame, Venise, Milan,...). Mais surtout, il y a l'accueil, la bienveillance de Giovanna qui met à cœur que votre séjour soit parfait. Cela commence par un panier gourmand avec les spécialités de la région mais ensuite ce sont des conseils et des petits mots plus chaleureux les uns que les autres. Bref, on se sent bien à la casa de Gio. A recommander +++

Zur Wohnung gehört eine eigene Garage. Man kommt direkt vom Treppenhaus durch eine Tür dahin und es steht dort auch eine Waschmaschine.

Perfekte Urlaubswoche

Sehr gut ausgestattete Wohnung, die keine Wünsche offen ließ. Giovanna war eine perfekte Gastgeberin, die über Whatsapp immer erreichbar war und täglich einen guten Tipp rund um den See für uns hatte (sie spricht sehr gut Englisch). Großer und sehr saberer Pool (mit zwei Liegen und zwei Stühlen) und Garage (groß genug für unseren Tiguan). Strategisch perfekte Lage - zu Fuß nach Desenzano und zum Bahnhof (mit Zugverbindungen nach Verona, Mailand und Venedig ) in 10 Minuten. Sirmione mit seiner malerischen Altstadt haben wir zu Fuß erwandert und sind dann mit dem Schiff wieder zurück. Wir (2 Erwachsene / 2 Kinder ) haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können die Wohnung nur empfehlen.
