Very nice property in the countryside quite a way from centres of activity. The apartment itself was really nicely laid out and had the great convenience of air conditioners in the living room and in the bedrooms. This was a huge bonus in the middle of the Italian summer
The pool is lovely and it was great to have use of it when we returned. Apartment number two where we stayed has a slight disadvantage in that it on the second floor up two sets of stone steps so quite a workout! Also there is no balcony as such. You can go down the steps to the tables that are laid out in the wonderful old courtyard and it is without doubt the prettiest shaded spot I have ever had to park a car! The property itself is very atmospheric and the gardens are beautiful. On the top floor where we were we were subject to fairly strong farm smells from the nearby farm but on lower floors this wasn't an issue
The property itself is about 8 kms from the nearest shop so you need to stock up but this wasn't an issue.
We had intended to use the house as a base for exploring Lake Garda but in truth its a good hours drive from there and a hard one given the traffic around Lake Garda.
Thats why we were thrilled to discover by accident Lake Iseo which is a very easy 30 minute drive away. Lake Iseo is smaller but is beautiful and there is a wonderful drive or cycle around the lake. We hired a power boat at Nautica Bertelli which cost about 200 euro for the day. You don't need any skills to drive it and it was a magical experience. I would hugely recommend it.
The pool and the air conditioning are a big bonus.
