After a 2.5 hour drive from Milan, we were welcomed to this lovely apartment with open arms, a tasty foccacia and a couple of cold beers to match... not to mention the stunning view of the surrounding mountains that back this part of Lago di Garda.

The ground floor apartment is as pictured with a pretty well stocked kitchen and basic amenities. The garden and outside patio area is great especially if you have kids or just like lapping up the views (and sunshine). Bear in mind, as the owners live above (with their daughter and grandkids living on the top floor of the building), the garden is essentially 'shared' but for us that wasn't a problem at all. Quite handy to have Aurelia 'at hand' nearby if you need anything.

There is a great spot for breakfast & coffee a short walk up the hill, again in the sunshine with loads of outside space for kids to run about and play (they also do a nice lunch). The village of Torbole is a 15/20 mins walk down the hill - again, lovely to stroll around and take it easy. All in all a great extended weekend break, wonderful location, good hospitality.
