The Lombardy / Lake Garda Area
Lake Garda
A holiday for everyone!
*VISIT THE AREA* Moniga is the best base that you can choose to visit the area and enjoy a relaxing atmosphere out of the crowd! In 10-15 minutes you are in Desenzano where there are the railway station that leads you to Venice (a must) or Milano and the highway to go to Verona (a must), Bergamo, Mantova. From Moniga you can have a tour of the lake with all its villages like Sirmione, Lazise, Garda, Riva, Limone and Salò. In 45-60 minutes you can also be on a mountain: reach Malcesine, take the cable and in 15 minutes you will be on the top of the mountain that overlooks the lake. Absolutely breathless!There aren' t many places like that in the world!
*FOR YOUR CHILDREN...AND NOT ONLY* Your children will love to spend their holiday here: there is the biggest fun park of Italy Gardaland, than also Moviland and Medioeval Time worth a visit, but also natural (Zoo-safari) and aquatic (Caneva) parks around the lake that offer both adults and children unforgettable amusement.
*EATING* If you love food, there is a delicious cuisine, simple and refined at the same time, which makes of genuine food its strong point. Lake fish, olive oil, wines, truffles, different kinds of cheese, pasta, are all tempting occasions for stopping in a fine restaurant or in one of the numerous characteristic trattorias. And surely a visit to a cellar or to an oil mill can't be missed, for discovering the typical products of the Garda region. Tasting a good and fresh bottle of "Chiaretto" is another must: "Chiaretto" it is a wine that looks like a rosé, but its taste is different...drink safely! And now a tip that none will tell you: during the summer go to eat to one of the many local "Sagra", that is where Italians go: A "sagra" is a sort of festival organized by a town or a group of people of a town open to everybody, where you can usally eat, Pasta, Grilled meat/sometimes Fish and nearly - only on the west coast of the lake - always "Spiedo" that is a grilled meat cooked on the spit with a lot of butter, not very healthy, but very good! Usually there are no waiters, you are the waiter, you have to pay and take the food on your table! Please check 'Where to eat' paragraph of my website!
*CULTURAL* You will have the chance to partecipate to very important cultural events, like music and dance shows, important exhibitions and folk programmes, cheering up the visitors in any time of the year. And a rich choice of events and appointments is also given by the towns near-by, like Brescia, Mantova, Trento, Verona (Arena), Venezia, Bergamo and Milano.
*SPORT* Maybe you are a sportif than you will be able to choose between: golf (there 2 golf courses in less than 20 min from Moniga) , tennis, sails, windsurfing, kitesurfing, canoeing, as well as for all yachting, fishing and diving lovers,mountain biking or horse-back riding, trekking and long excursions in the mountains (always watching the lake) or also skiing in winter time!
*NIGHT LIFE* If you love night life do not worry, you will find it: Discos, pubs, piano-bars, all are sure attractions for spending pleasant nights in this magic atmosphere, among the lights glittering on the lake.And fire works often lit up the summer nights.

Guestbook for Casa Petra e Franco
'Jenny and Thomas, Sorry for not writing sooner. We had a fabulous holiday at Casa Petra e Franco. The apartment is superb - very spacious and very clean with all requirements. The complex at Corte Ferrari is beautiful and really well maintained. You seem to have thought of everything. The location is spectacular with beautiful views over the neighbouring vineyard leading down to the lake and further on to Sirmione, Desenzano and beyond. B. and I really enjoyed the wine tasting in the big house. You were lovely hosts and all the family agree that we will return to Lake Garda and to Corte Ferrari in the very near future (if not in next year, we will definitely return in the year after). It was one of the best holidays we have had. The weather was so good during our two weeks. Best wishes to you both for your complexes at Corte Ferrari and Relais Rosa dei Venti. Many thanks again. M. and B. C. and Family.'
'Thomas, Just wanted to send a quick email to say how fantastic our holiday was at Corte Ferrari. We are absolutely smitten with Italy and you spectacular accommodation and location. The accommodation was amazing overlooking Lake Garda, the vineyards and the gardens and pool. Our holiday was an absolute dream come true and we will be returning without doubt next June. I would recommend paying those extra few euros to anyone who wants spacious, clean and idyllic living accommodation with "breath taking views" over Lake Garda in Casa Petra Franco apartment. Thanks again and we have wonderful photographs and fabulous memories of Moniga and Corte Ferrari. First class! Kind Regards Mrs and Mrs T.'
'Dear Thomas, just a note to say how much we enjoyed our holiday at Moniga. Your apartments are beautiful. Thank you very much for catering for our twins, the cots, highchairs and baby bath were greatly appreciated. We won't hesitate to recommend the apartment to anyone. We hope to return to see you again one day. - S. and E. and Family'
