With charming winding cobbled streets, al-fresco dining and a striking hill-top castle Arco is a favourite amongst guests. Very popular with climbers and the best place to stock up on climbing and hiking gear for your outdoor adventures! Also a great start, end or in-between stop of the Valle dei Laghi cycle path. Arco can be reached via a short 10 min drive or 15 min cycle.

A perfectly preserved medieval hamlet recently added to ‘Italy’s most beautiful villages’ list. With its ‘Rustico Mediovevo’ summer festival, winter Christmas Markets and a dedicated ‘Artist House’ to meet likeminded souls, entering Canale is like stepping into a fairy tale – you half expect to see a knight to appear!

Located on the western shore of the Lake, Limone is immersed in a lush Mediterranean landscape and is among the most admired and visited villages on the lake. It is famous for his charming cobbled lines, roof-tile vistas and (of course!) Lemons, which have been grown in the typical lemon houses since 1700 (some of which are still in operation and open to the public). Limone is easily reachable via a 20 min drive along a dramatic road by the Lake or a ferry ride from Riva. It gets very busy in summer and parking can be an issue so plan accordingly.

An enchanted natural landscape frames the lake’s clear waters: an oasis for sports and relaxation, but also an opportunity to visit a UNESCO heritage sight and learn how our ancestors lived in the Neolithic era.

A spectacular 100mt waterfall diving into a series of floodlit canyons naturally carved out by the water through the centuries. Elevated walkways allow you to explore deep into the mountain and an al-fresco caffe' makes for a lovely post-visit break. A natural phenomenon not to be missed right down the hill from the villa. NOTE: This sight gets incredibly busy with tour groups in the summer. Contact them to check when the less crowed times are to visit.

Enjoy stunning vista from the top of Monte Baldo, above Malcesine. A popular ski resort in winter it transforms into an outdoor paradise in summer - for hiking, paragliding or just enjoying the views and a coffee. It can be reached on foot or with a state of the art rotating cable car (worth at least one ride in it!).
