This is a 1 bedroom, beautifully furnished flat on the ground floor of a development completed in 1996. It has a double bedroom, a large room that serves as sitting room and dining room with a well-equipped kitchen area and a bathroom with shower and washing machine. The main bedroom has a large double bed. The sitting room has a spare single bed stored under the sofa. There’s central heating and double glazing so the flat is very warm in winter. There are private terraces leading off the 2 main rooms, 1 with a brilliant barbecue oven. There's a view of the mountains but not the lake. The flat has its own underground garage. The block is surrounded by gardens with oleanders, wisteria, palms, mimosa, pomegranate and olive trees. The lake-shore is a 10 min steeply-downhill walk away. There is a network of footpaths and mountain bike routes over the mountainside and excellent walks from the door of the flat over the foothills. Private, individual underground garage.

Further details
The local council in Malcesine ensures that the town is very welcoming for visitors. There are regular festivals in the town square, concerts at the castle theatre, firework displays on the lake and beach parties throughout the season.
All the towns around the lake have their own individual character and are worth exploring. Bardelino is the centre for local wine production, Riva has the best shops and Sirmione is the most picturesque. The south-western corner of the lake-side is the most elegant, and is known as the Garda Riviera.
The countryside is spectacular. A cable car from Malcesine takes you swiftly up to the top of Monte Baldo, and the mountainside is great for walking and mountain biking.
On the lake you can wind surf and sail dingies, hobby cats and larger craft. At the south-eastern end of the lake are 2 theme parks - Gardaland with its adrenalin rides and Caneva, which is a water theme park.
Verona, about an hour's drive away, is a beautiful historic city, with ancient churches, a castle, market squares, narrow streets with elegant shops, and the Roman amphitheatre where opera is performed on summer evenings.
You can comfortably take a day trip to Venice or Milan.

Guest comments
A belated e-mail to say how much we all enjoyed our break in Malcesine. We all had a great time and a very relaxing week. The kids really enjoyed the lake and even when the weather wasn't great, only one day, we all had a great time stumbling down from Monte Baldo. Thanks again - Eoin Duffy, The Times
