We stayed for a week in May in this lovely apartment situated in Casteletto, a small village on the shores of Lake Garda. The village sees less hustle and bustle than tourist havens like Malcesine or Garda, but still boasts several good restaurants, a small grocery, bank machine and a petrol station. Everything is within easy walking distance and very convenient. Being away from the more touristy areas we were able to experience the village life as locals (thankfully for our very limited Italian many people speak English which made this a lot easier). The more touristy areas with lots of shopping are a short drive away.

The apartment itself was unexpectedly large and well-maintained. The front terrasse and living room windows boast a spectacular view on Lake Garda, rooms are high ceilinged and generously proportioned, the kitchen is modern and everything is in working order. Wifi worked fine, a big plus. Parking was on the premises and sufficient for a large automobile.

The apartment faces the lakeshore road which is quite busy during the day, however it is much quieter at night and bedrooms are at the back so we were not bothered by any traffic noise.

The 2 large bedrooms have direct access to a large balcony, and the 3rd bedroom (smaller but still a very good size) has its own private and charming terrasse.

The bathroom is well proportioned and airy.

The owners Fausto and his daughter Tulum were friendly and very helpful, and we felt very welcomed.

And the final plus, the price was very good for this area, giving us great value.

We would be happy to return here on a future visit to Garda, and highly recommend the apartment for people wishing for a lovely setting a short distance away from the more well known spots around Lake Garda.
