Elio was a fantastic host. He shared his intimate knowledge of the area which covered everything from the history of the region to local vegetables and wines to the best bike trails throughout Lago di Garda. I had a lovely tour of his garden and we used some herbs for our breakfast and tea. Elio is a great conversationalist and was helpful and kind throughout the four days I stayed at his place. I recommended renting a bike if you're staying for more than a day to see as much of Lago di Garda and the surrounding mountains and lakes as possible.
