We spent a weekend at Enrico’s wonderful place. The villa where the apartment is located is an ancient and well-maintained building (it dates back 20’s). It directly faces the lake where we had the chance to have a very fast bath, but being April we did not expect more than that. Of course we look forward to coming back in the summer to take a longer and more pleasant swim! Between the house and the lake there is a large garden with secular and scenting trees. We very much enjoyed our time there and sunbathed on the sunbeds provided, the landscape is breath-taking. The apartment that we rented is on the first floor, accessible through an elegant staircase directly from the garden. It is very spacious, clean and comfortable with windows on a marvelous terrace where we had our breakfast every morning. The interiors look very recently renovated (we loved both the wide spaces of the living room and the finely refurbished bathroom, as well as the wooden-floored bedroom), and the equipment provided met all our expectations. In the kitchen there’s everything one would need to prepare food, including a kettle and a coffee machine. In spite of the fresh revamping of the rooms, we were impressed by the history of the villa that you could notice from a lot of details, which we found an added value to the overall experience. Villa Maria is 5 mins walk from the charming and historical town of Salò, which has a lovely promenade by the lake and lots of typical restaurants, Italian-style cafès and shops (we had our best ice-cream there!). During our stay we met other guests, who were always kind and respectful. Enrico is a real superhost who helped us in all the possible ways and was extremely careful with our needs. He gave us also some tips on what to do on Garda Lake. Definitely recommended!
