Home description
Lovely apartment in a converted farmhouse near the pretty lakeside town of Salo', considered the "capital" of the western shore of Lake Garda, the biggest and most spectacular of the Italian Lakes in Italy. The residence has a shared swimming pool with lovely views of Lake Garda and gulf of Salo', and gorgeous mountain backdrop. The town is short walk away although with a car you'll be able to get the most out of your trip. The apartment has a tiny private garden and a patio overlooking a centuries old well and central courtyard with plants and cobbled walkways.
The living room has an incorporated kitchen and dining area, though in summer you will probably enjoy dining outside on the patio. The living area seats 2-4 people. The indoor dining table seats six, and there are two large French doors opening out onto the patio. The kitchen is incorporated in the living area and has a modern, Italian design, and comes fully fitted with cooking facilities and plenty of cupboard space.
A short walk across the road and down some steps takes you into the heart of Salo', one of the lake's prettiest and least "touristy" towns.
This apartment has a private patio looking out onto the shared courtyard. The swimming pool and sunbathing area is spectacular, with mountain views behind and lake views to the front. This apartment is the perfect way to enjoy town and lakeside life with a relaxing pool and sunbathing holiday.

The Lombardy / Lake Garda Area
Lake Garda is a beautiful part of Italy, with its own microclimate and a stunning scenery with olive groves, vineyards, breathtaking mountain backdrops and access to everything Italy has to offer: Venice, Milan, skiing in winter, sun in summer, culture, designer sophistication. The pretty lakeside town of Salo', strategically positioned on the Brescian riviera of Lake Garda and considered the "capital" of the western shore, is within easy walking distance, as are the beaches and nearby cultural attractions.
Lake Garda has a unique micro-climate, mild in the winter and hot and sunny in the summer, yet with a cool breeze coming off the lake.
Lake Garda is also Italy's largest lake, and the undoubted star of the Italian Lake district.
Lake Garda really has something for everyone. From sun to shopping, beautiful mountain scenery to the sun glittering off the clear, warm water, from skiing in winter to wakeboarding, kite-surfing, windsurfing and rock-climbing in summer; from opera and theatre to children's adventure parks Gardaland and Canevaworld... when you come to Lake Garda you can be sure of a holiday you will never forget.
Served by three airports (Verona Brescia, Verona and Bergamo) and backed up by the airports at Milan Linate, Milan Malpensa and Venice Marco Polo and Treviso airports, daily low cost flights can be found from every part of the UK. Ryanair also offers day trips to Rome, with a flight leaving daily at 8.30 am and returning in time for supper, meaning when you stay on Lake Garda a day trip to Milan, Venice, Verona or even Rome is an easily achieved reality. Why not visit the opera? The Arena di Verona is a short drive away and the historic open air amphitheatre offers an unforgettable experience.
If you feel like sticking closer to the home base, why not hop on a ferry and explore the lakeside towns of Lake Garda?
Watersports on Lake Garda are always popular, with the pretty lakeside towns offering sailing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, jet-skiing, kite-surfing, and scuba diving facilities.
If you visit between the months of November and April, day skiing trips are perfectly feasible: the nearest slopes are 40 minutes drive away and the world-class ski resort Madonna di Campiglio 1 hr 45 minutes drive.
In summer, hiking, mountain-biking, horse-riding and rock climbing is popular. There are dozens of walking trails in the mountains around the lake, mountain bikes can be hired and there are countless riding centres and tennis clubs.
The designer shops and boutiques, street cafes and bars, restaurants and trattorias offering home-cooked Italian dishes and the finest local wines at incredibly good value will appeal to everyone, especially in sophisticated towns such as Toscolano Maderno, Moniga del Garda, Desenzano del Garda, Gardone Riviera and Salo'.
If the kids get bored playing in the swimming pool, why not spend a few days exploring the theme parks at the southern end of Lake Garda? There are many huge them parks, including Gardaland, Caneva World, Aqua Parks and Safari Parks - you'd need a couple of weeks to get through them all!
Don't forget to relax, though, and drink in the unbelievable lake views with a glass of wine. Our apartments boast some of the best around Lake Garda.

Further details indoors: The apartment is brand new, restored to a very high standard and has been tastefully furnished in a modern Italian style.
Further details outdoors: There is a fabulous view of the gulf of Salo, Lake Garda from the swimming pool and gorgeous mountains behind, greenery all around.
Please note: even though the town is walking distance away, in summer the road you need to cross can get busy and therefore can be difficult with small children or elderly people. While not absolutely necessary, we recommend you hire a car anyway in order to fully experience the beauty of the lake in total freedom.
