Margot's apartment in Mendola, Trentino is an excellent place to stay to visit the South Tirol area. Her apartment is located at the top of Mendelpass and is about 30-45 minutes from Bolzano and Merano. The drive up and down the mountain is filled with a lot of hair pin turns which makes the drive loads of fun.
We stayed in apartment number 5, which was on the top most floor just below the roof. It was spacious and had a great view of the surrounding countryside. It did not have a balcony, but there was a seating area outside in the same compound. It was also very cool during the day even though it was hot outside. The two bathrooms were practical for a big group of people. Overall, we had an enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend her apartment.
