Nestled along the banks of Lake Garda, between tall trees and manicured hedges, this charming apartment is a wonderful choice for your Italian getaway. With a private garden, communal swimming pool, and enchanting lake views, it ticks all the boxes for a gorgeous stay.

Cloaked in local materials and Italian touches, the apartment is wonderfully homely. Every corner celebrates the culture of the region, with terracotta tiles and hand-painted plates, providing a space that becomes so much more than a holiday apartment. You’ll love preparing meals in the folksy kitchen before tucking in around the outdoor dining table, soaking in the views.

There’s a lot to love about this apartment, but the view nips it. Whether you’re on sipping coffee on the bench, lounging by the communal pool, or savouring cocktails at sunset around the outdoor sofa, the lake view is a beautiful constant. To see it up close yourself, take the short walk down to the pebbly beach and take swims in the crystal clear waters.

When it comes to exploring, you’re on the northeast side of the lake, close to the peaceful village of Torri del Benaco. Embrace a slower pace of life full of lakeside strolls, wine-filled afternoons, and fresh food from the markets. You can also take a day trip to the setting of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, the city of Verona – it’s around 20 miles away.
