Fabulous!
I booked a week here in August for the family as a big birthday celebration and I have to say that the house and the location exceeded all expectations! For nine of us (6 adults, 2 children of 8 and 10 and an 18 month old toddler), the accommodation was comfortable, well equipped and spacious with plenty of room for our toddler to go exploring. The veranda is magnificent (if anything the photos don't do it justice) - very large with plenty of seating and a fabulous view of the lake.
The kitchen is very well equipped and we made much use of the barbecue. Our granddaughters loved the pool which was well situated close to the house and in the shade. There is plenty of space around the house for parking and there is an extensive area with olive and fruit trees for those who like to explore. It was very hot while we were there but there was a pleasant, gentle breeze most of the time and we used the fans in some of the rooms at night. There is another apartment below which was occupied for some of the time we were there, but there is so much space that it was not a problem.
It is an easy drive to Bardolino, where there is plenty of parking. There are restaurants nearby, including one we could walk to where the food was very good. Some of us walked to Garda from the house and took a boat to Bardolino, which made a wonderful excursion. You can also take a small diversion to a viewpoint over Garda , which is well worth it.
Our hosts, Fabrizia and family were very friendly and helpful. One night we had a power cut and Francesco drove over to fix it at one in the morning! He also sent a map of their location through WhatsApp, which made everything so easy from the very start.
So thank you Fabrizia and family for helping to make this a truly memorable holiday!
