Great location, great value, but not 5 Star
The house really is in a superb location - down a quiet back lane, perched mid way up a hill over looking the lake. It is quiet enough to feel away from it all, but Garda is just down the road and within 10 or so minutes in the other direction you are on the Autostrada. It is a tremendous base for exploring both Lake Garda and Northern Italy (we had days out in Venice, Verona and Mantua).
The house is large and, compared to others we considered in the region, extremely good value. However, I feel the other 5 star reviews are a little misleading as this is not a 5 star property, based on my past experience of renting properties from this and other websites. It's the little details which prevent it being a 5 star - the tap on the top floor sprays water on the floor, you have to bring your own bed linen and towels (a pain if you are flying, and certainly not 5 star), the TV is very small and the oven goes out too often (twice during one 20 minute period). If I could give it three and half stars, I would.
To be clear, my complaint is not with the owners as they offer this house at a very, very fair price, but rather with other reviews as I personally expect a bit more for 5 stars.
