Beautiful stay

We had a wonderful holiday at Lake Garda. It is so beautiful with lovely trips on the lake and walking round the area. The apartment suited us very well. It is very clean and well cared for and definitely the best equipped home we have stayed in which helped to make the holiday stress free. The only thing to be aware of is that it is hilly - the walk back up from a meal out was fine for us but something to be aware of if you’re holidaying without a car.

Wonderful. Gio is the most amazing host. Such a lovely lady. She met us at the train station and gave us a lift and followed that up with a lift to the supermarket as well. Her home is fantastic and has everything you need. The beds are so comfortable and it is nice and spacious. WiFi is great with teens. Pool is also great - 2.3m deep in the big bit. I used Gios washing machine a fair bit which is very helpful too. It's only 10 minutes walk ( and flat) to the train station and you can get buses from there too ( the Sirmione bus is 26. - opposite side of the road to the train station) if you want to go into Desenzano for town or for ferry it is about 20 minutes walk. It is a substantial hill so you need to brace yourself on the way back for the last bit! We enjoyed taking different routes every time and checking out all the architecture. Overall I am so pleased I found Gios house and I totally recommend it.

Great location; Fabulous host

Very convenient location within a mile or less of town, grocery store and train station. Very walkable to all (there is a bit of a hill coming back from town but my 92 year old father managed fine). The unit itself is exactly as depicted in photos. The complex and lake views are gorgeous. By far the best thing about the property, however, is the owner, Giovanna. She was always available to answer any questions or address any issues that came up. She takes great pride in her home and goes out of her way to make sure that your stay is the best it can be!

Excellent

We had a fabulous stay at this beautiful property which had everything we needed - a real home from home. The location is excellent for visiting the towns and sites of Lake Garda, as well as the cities of Milan, Verona and Venice (easily accessed by train). Giovanna's recommendations of places to eat and visit helped us find some little gems that we would have otherwise missed - what a generous and thoughtful hostess! The pool is so lovely and being in a residential community it is often empty. The food and wine welcome gift was appreciated. So much to do.....we will definitely be going back!

Wonderful holiday at Garda Lake

We had two wonderful weeks in the house in Desenzano. The apartement is well equipped, very nice and clean. We didn't miss anything and it felt like home. We loved sitting on the balcony and swimming in the pool which is awesome. There weren't many people, so it was always quiet, especially in the morning and evening. We had a lot of towels for the two bathrooms and the four sun loungers . When the weather was hot the air conditioning was very helpful to sleep well at night. It was practical to have a garage and a washing machine. Nearby the house (10-15 minutes by foot) is a small supermarket (Conad) where we could buy anything we wanted. You only need 5 minutes by car to a big supermarket (esselunga) in Desenzano. We liked this small city and the surrounding area very much. We made lots of nice trips to interesting places at the eastern coast of Garda Lake and on the mountains but also to Verona and Venice. Giovanna is a very kind person. Every day she gave us helpful advices. She greeted us very warm hearted and said goodbye personally. We would love to rent her appartement and visit Desenzano and Garda Lake a second time. Lovely greetings from Düsseldorf

Sehr schöner Urlaub

Wir haben eine wunderschöne Zeit in "La Casa di Gio" verbracht. Gio ist eine tolle Gastgeberin, hat uns persönlich empfangen und alles ausführlich erklärt. Während des gesamten Aufenthalts war Sie immer mit uns in Kontakt und hat uns Tipps und Empfehlungen für Ausflüge usw. gegeben. Besonders gefallen hat uns "Die Isola dei Conigli", der Aquapark und Verona. Oder einfach relaxen am Pool. Und nicht zu vergessen "Ristorante Mirabello". Wir hoffen, eines Tages wieder zu kommen.

Quel accueil !

Bien entendu il y a le logement, très spacieux, bien agencé, bien équipé, très propre. Evidemment, il y a le cadre extérieur, vue sur le lac, agréable piscine peu fréquentée, région magnifique et accès facile vers les grands poles touristiques de la région (Vérone, Sirmione, Bergame, Venise, Milan,...). Mais surtout, il y a l'accueil, la bienveillance de Giovanna qui met à cœur que votre séjour soit parfait. Cela commence par un panier gourmand avec les spécialités de la région mais ensuite ce sont des conseils et des petits mots plus chaleureux les uns que les autres. Bref, on se sent bien à la casa de Gio. A recommander +++

Tolle Wohnung, alle Erwartungen wurden erfüllt

Auf Grund der bisherigen Bewertungen waren unsere Erwartungen an die Wohnung hoch und unsere Erwartungen wurden nicht nur erfüllt sondern noch übertroffen. Tolle Wohnung mit einem Pool in dem man richtig schwimmen kann (Tiefe 1-2,30m Wassertiefe, daneben ein kleiner Pool mit 0,75m. Uns hat es in der Wohnung an nichts gefehlt! Die Kommunikation mit Gio war bereits im Vorfeld sehr gut und jeden Morgen gab es eine WhatsApp- Nachricht mit Empfehlungen für den Tag, Fragen wurden schnell beantwortet.

Wohnung mit Wohlfühlfaktor

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Wohnung ist sehr rustikal eingerichtet. Die Möbel, Elektrogeräte, Zimmer, Bäder usw. sind sehr gut erhalten und funktionieren tadellos. Man merkt dass die Giovanna sehr viel Herzblut hineingesteckt hat. Am Pool gab es einen Bademeister und die Grünanlage wurde regelmäßig gepflegt. Der Pool war nie überfüllt was sehr angenehm war. Zur Wohnung gehört eine eigene Garage. Man kommt direkt vom Treppenhaus durch eine Tür dahin und es steht dort auch eine Waschmaschine. Giovanna war sehr hilfsbereit und konnte uns sehr viele Tipps geben z.B wo man gut isst, was man besichtigen kann usw. Wir haben es richtig genossen und kommen gerne wieder. Mille Grazie Giovanna

Perfekte Urlaubswoche

Sehr gut ausgestattete Wohnung, die keine Wünsche offen ließ. Giovanna war eine perfekte Gastgeberin, die über Whatsapp immer erreichbar war und täglich einen guten Tipp rund um den See für uns hatte (sie spricht sehr gut Englisch). Großer und sehr saberer Pool (mit zwei Liegen und zwei Stühlen) und Garage (groß genug für unseren Tiguan). Strategisch perfekte Lage - zu Fuß nach Desenzano und zum Bahnhof (mit Zugverbindungen nach Verona, Mailand und Venedig ) in 10 Minuten. Sirmione mit seiner malerischen Altstadt haben wir zu Fuß erwandert und sind dann mit dem Schiff wieder zurück. Wir (2 Erwachsene / 2 Kinder ) haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können die Wohnung nur empfehlen.

Fabulous!

This is a fantastic apartment full of Italian charm and never before have we had such a warm welcome from a host. The apartment is extremely comfortable, fully equippped, very clean and was really spacious for the two of us. The swimming pool is fantastic and was an added bonus - it is immaculately clean and was never busy during our stay. Perfect for a quick dip or relaxing in the sun on the private sun beds. The owner, Giovanna, is absolutely lovely and couldn't do enough to help us. She helped with directions to the apartment, looking out for us on arrival and was full of useful information about the area and provided lots of great recommendations. We had regular contact with Giovanna throughout our stay and she took a genuine interest in what we were up to. Some supplies were also provided including coffee and prosecco which were much appreciated! The apartment is in a great location, the train station is 5 mins walk and the town centre is a 15 mins walk. Desenzano itself is a fabulous buzzing town and great for people watching. We found lots of lovely restaurants and bars, our favourite being the Il Tagliere wine bar and Corte Pozzi restaurant, both part of Hotel Alessi. We visited the many beautiful towns round the lake and also took the fast train to Venice. Verona is also a short drive away and the open air opera was an amazing experience. Overall this is one of the best apartments we have ever stayed in, we loved it from the moment we stepped in the front door. It felt like a second home and we were genuinely sad to leave. We will definitely be back and couldn't recommend it highly enough!
