We stayed for a week at Maria's place and it was amazing. The apartment is high up and therefore the views of the lake and the mountains were incredible. The apartment was beautiful and spotlessly clean. The rooms had large windows, opening up to make the most of the stunning views. There is a large terrace with a BBQ which was ideal and the morning sun on the terrace was so nice to wake up to! The pool and garden area were perfect and a sun trap for the whole day. There are several nice restaurants in the Tavernola area and the food and drinks are very reasonably priced. The only thing to consider is the steep, winding hill from the apartment to the main road which means walking into town can be a bit of a jaunt. We drove most nights just because of the hill, but the views and apartment are well worth the hike! Car definitely required.
