Having read all the positive reviews here on AirBnB, we had fairly high expectations regarding our future Padaro holiday home. Well, our expectations have been exceeded by far. The apartment is wonderful, with a fantastic lake view from the balcony and the garden, spacy and airy. The bedrooms and bathrooms are large, with plenty of storage and towels. The kitchen is well equipped and stocked with pantry items like salt, olive oil, spices etc. Everything is clean and has a very personal touch. Padaro is a small village, nice and quiet, great to unwind after a busy day out. The most outstanding though was the hospitality we had the honour the experience from our host, Ruggero. From the first moment as he welcomed us on the road to his house, and until he waved us good-buy from the top of the hill, we felt like we were part of his family. We were cooked for, entertained, offered great local products, given plenty of valuable advice on what to do and where to go, and had the most interesting conversations about everything and anything, in a number of languages :) On the other hand, we had all the privacy we wanted. Finally, the kids fell in love with Josie the dog, who welcomed us every time we drove in. That made our Garda Lake experience so very special. We highly recommend staying at Ruggero’s Casa, and hope to come back there one day as well!
