Luxurious apartment in a villa with lake view
A really, really lovely place - a large, spacious apartment with stunning views of Lake Garda, and a wonderful garden with shared pool. The large living room and beautiful balcony were the standouts. The hosts were also extremely responsive, for example in helping to arrange a taxi from Verona Airport when some of our party were delayed. The kids absolutely loved it but would also suit adult party as well. We took the ferry across the lake very easily, but there is also a small beach area pretty much opposite the house, with a good local cafe/bar too. The only thing to note is that you unless you have an appetite for walking you will need a car to get around, and in particular to get to the supermarket or find places open on the Sunday.

Lakefront Garda Studio +Pool +Seedachtasse
Communication with Boris is an 11/10. Always available, super fast answers, absolutely understandable instructions, simply TOP! The apartment is really very small, the two of us had a large suitcase and with this the room by the couch is already well filled, but that does not matter at all, as the bed offers plenty of space (also for 2 people >1.80m) We cooked 2x and always used the roof terrace for breakfast and dinner :) The view from the terrace was great, also the way to the lake is short and the pebble beach is fine. You are within max. 10 minutes directly in Garda on foot and by car in 5 minutes to the nearest major supermarket in Garda. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and were very satisfied. Thank you :)

Paradise on Lake Garda
Brigitte and Stefano are two absolutely recommended hosts. The surrounding area is very nice and quiet. The pool is an absolute highlight. Stefano greeted us personally and gave us many tips that we implemented directly. We were in Venice and Gardaland as well as Pechiera at the weekly market. We will be happy to come back.

Medieval vacation with lake view
Loved our stay in this charming town. Monique is a great host communicating throughout. Very spacious apartment with everything you need. The bed was very comfortable and a peaceful nights sleep is guaranteed.

Luxury Home on Canaletto
Very nice, nice and clean apartment. Excellent starting point. The area is surrounded by wonderful restaurants. A place worthy of its price! I recommend

Residence Apartment Biancolago
excellent service and thanks again 👍

Paradise View Gargnano
Rarely had such a great apartment, this one really looks even more beautiful than in the pictures! The view from the balcony is like a postcard and you can almost jump directly into Lake Garda. Everything is there for a comfortable life, e.g. kitchen utensils, basics for cooking, a high-quality bed, cozy seating indoors and outdoors... The contact with the host was very nice, he was always available and had many good tips for us. Absolutely recommended!

Villa Tiziana Typ T3
As a young small family, we had a great time in Villa Tiziana. The location was great, the hostess was great and the accommodation was also great. If there is anything to complain about, it is the humidity and the smell in the apartment, otherwise we were very satisfied all around :)

The Cottage by the Lake
It was a lovely place to stay, so close to the Lake with a choice of 4 different places to eat very close by. The house was perfect for 5 of us, a bathroom for each couple. Very well equipped kitchen, nice modern feel to the house. Rachele always responded to any questions very quickly and did everything to accommodate us. I would definitely recommend this house.

Vacation home on Lake Garda - garden, pool, air conditioning
We drive very satisfied, felt comfortable, great view, everything as described.

Casa Bougainvillea
We stayed in 8 people and the spaces were ideal, comfortable, and compliant with the description and photos. Fabian and Emira, they were both very responsive in their communications and promptly helped us with the issues we had. The location of the house is in a very quiet and comfortable residential area to reach both the city of Limone and Saló within halfanhour by car.

Lakehouse 68, with private jetty.
We celebrated my husband's birthday here with family and close friends. It was the perfect spot for us all to relax and unwind, whilst also being close to all the beautiful local towns, countryside, restaurants and bars. The house is incredible - very comfortable, fabulously furnished and equipped - and we all feel very lucky to have stayed there. Wienke is an excellent host. We can't recommend the Lake House highly enough.

Casa dei Merli - Historic Center of Malcesine
This charming and historic apartment was very comfortable for our group of 4 adults, baby, and toddler. The location is amazing, on a quiet lane next to the castle, with incredible views across the town, lake, and castle. There is a small swimming cove just below the apartment suitable for adults or a quick dip with children. The wider pebble beach with a lifeguard is a short walk away, as is the ferry to Limone sul Garda. The town’s best gelato shop is around the corner, as is an excellent restaurant Paradiso Perduto (reserve ahead). Matteo and Ludovica were very hospitable and responsive, and met us in person at both check-in and departure. They arranged a complimentary transfer of our luggage with an ape, which was much appreciated across the cobblestone lanes. One thing to consider is if you are sensitive to heat, the two bedrooms on the upper floor can get quite warm in the summer months. We visited during an unseasonably warm June, but thankfully the fans were sufficient.

La Villetta Beths house
Fantastic stay, location just as it looks online, clean, spacious and comfortable. Groceries nearby, cycling routes and buses. Beautiful view, definitely would recommend this place!

Villa Gabbianella on the Maderno lakefront with garden.
We had a great time at Stefania's house. The location is great, we almost never needed the car, which is perfect with small children. The beach, bakery, restaurants and ice cream parlors are all within walking distance. The garden is also beautiful and very large with many seating options.

House "Fiore" with panoramic terrace overlooking the lake
very pleasant stay also a very nice host. Due to the well-equipped air conditioning, it is a very pleasant place even in summer. I highly recommend it
Waterfront condo accommodation

Apt.332
Mauro is a wonderful person. The accommodation is very close to the center of Garda and the pool is fantastic to enjoy after a short climb. We would come back. Thank you Mauro

Lakeview Apartment Golden Beach with bikes&SUP
Barbora is wonderful! The apartment is PERFECT! We fell in love with Desenzano because of the apartment! The bikes were very fun to ride by the lake. We had the best family vacations!

RESIDENCES OF THE CENTER Domus Aurea
Can’t fault this apartment. The perfect location and the perfect place to stay for 5 nights in Saló. One of the best airbnbs I have ever stayed in and Alessandro was the most fantastic host

Amarone, amazing view of Lake Garda!
Daniela's place was great! she was fabulously responsive and had great suggestions. the place is very conveniently located once you figure out buses (which run 5-10 minutes late on average)

A stone throw from the Lake
Authentic Italian apartment centrally located in an alley in the town centre. Particularly noteworthy is the friendly and courteous welcome by the host! We felt very comfortable!

Punta Dina Lake-Front House
Amazing host, felt like we were at a friends home! The views are amazing and the place is fantastic.

On the beach Manerba del Garda
Chiara personally greeted us, even though we arrived late for check-in, which we really appreciated. The view from the balcony is lovely—overlooking the lake! It’s just a 2-minute walk to reach the lake and pool. The apartment felt a bit smaller than it appeared in the photos. Just a heads-up: an extra set of towels and linens costs an additional €25. Using the same sheets and towels for a 3-night stay didn’t feel very hygienic to me. Also, basic refreshments like coffee or tea were missing, which would have been a nice touch

Villa Mattarana - "GIRASOLE" Lake View Apartment
We stayed here with our two young children (4 year old and 21 month old) in the 3 bed apartment with a massive balcony and a great view of the sunset (loved sitting on the balcony at breakfast time and night time). Absolutely wonderful. Very big and very clean. Marion gave us some great restaurant recommendations. We had the pool to ourselves all week. Very quiet safe area with electric gates (you can hear Gardaland but that didn’t bother us). Nick who met us for check in, met us an hour early and was very nice and helpful. We had mosquito spray when outside and kept the mosquito doors closed and/or the doors/windows closed so didn’t have any problems (great air con). We rented a car so we could get to everywhere around the lake with ease. We had the best holiday in Lake Garda! We didn’t want to leave! Thanks Marion.
