Home description
Casa Petra e Franco is part of the villa in our beautiful residence Corte Ferrari and is surrounded by flowers, olive trees and vineyards with beautiful views over Lake Garda. The residence is beautifully refined and welcoming and has a wonderful swimming pool area. Although part of our residence, the apartment is in our villa and is set aside from the other apartments we have, offering a haven of privacy and tranquillity. We are perfectly located, with the town centre and its bars, restaurants, pizzerias and shops only a 1 min walk away. 5 mins walk are the shores of Lake Garda where you will find lakeside restaurants, bars, ice-cream parlours and of course boat hire and scooter hire. In fact, we would say that you can come and stay at Casa Petra e Franco and never need the car! The apartment is spacious, decorated tastefully with great care, luxuriously furnished and has balconies overlooking the lake and a small private garden.

The Lombardy / Lake Garda Area
A holiday for everyone!
*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. Arena di Verona, Museo Santa Giulia, Il Vittoriale
*VISIT THE AREA* Moniga is the best base that you can choose to visit the area and enjoy a relaxing atmosphere! In 10-15 minutes you are in Desenzano where there are the railway station that leads you to Venice or Milano and the highway to go to Verona, 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! Don' t forget to check the weather forecast before going there...you are on a real mountain! Train Ferries Mountain Cable
*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
*FOR YOUR CHILDREN...AND NOT ONLY* Do not forget that also your children will love to spend their holiday here: there is the biggest fun park of Italy Gardaland, but also natural (Zoo-safari) and aquatic (Caneva) parks around the lake that offer both adults and children unforgettable amusement. Gardland Caneva Zoo Safari Jungle adventure

Golf Club Arzaga, Golf Club Bogliaco, Boat to Rent
*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.

The centre of Moniga del Garda is dominated by the medieval castle, which nowadays contains homes. As well as its historical value, Moniga also offers excellent facilities including a bank, post-office, and tourist information office. The surrounding area is known as The Valtenesi and is an area dominated by terraces of olive trees and vineyards. The region is dotted with castles, villas and small villages and is renowned for its olive oil and wine, especially Chiaretto and Rosso. We have bikes available so why not make a tour of the local countryside. Or take a short stroll to the beach where you can swim or hire a speed boat. The south of Lake Garda has plenty for all the family to see and do, so why not take a trip to Gardaland, the largest theme park in Italy or one of the many water parks or botanical gardens. There is plenty to do if you love water sports and we even have golf courses close by. Moniga del Garda is also an excellent base if you want to take a day-trip to Venice, Milan, Verona and Mantova.

Guestbook
'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'
