We spent a number of wonderful afternoons cycling through the countryside to enjoy a lovely long lunch surrounded by the vineyards that produced the wine we were drinking. There’s even an agro-tourism dairy farm nearby which a local recommended for the best ice cream and cheese in the area.

Guest comments
'We had a fabulous 3 weeks. Your apartment was fantastic, nothing to fault and the pool was used every day! We had a mix of weather but we didn't let that stop us exploring the area and the lake. We favoured Pescheria and also hired a boat from there one of the days. We never had a bad meal nor bottle of wine whilst there and would definitely return to the area in the future.' - Louise Clarke
'We has a great time and your apartment was lovely. The weather was very hot and the kids loved the pool, which we had almost exclusive use of! It was our first summer holiday in Italy although we have been skiing in Livigno previously but we'll definately be back.' - Thanks and regards Julie.
'We had an absolutely brilliant time during our time in Italy. The apartment was just what we needed. Centrally located, within easy distance to the Lake and surrounding areas including Milan, Verona and Venice in particular.' - Margaret Murphy
