A stunning apartment in a stunning location in the stunning Desenzano Del Garda. We could not have asked for more for our honeymoon. We unfortunately had a late flight and a train journey and so did not arrive until 9.30pm, but Ida and Paulo (Elena’s sister and brother in law) picked us up from the train station and were most helpful with the information they gave us. The apartment is beautiful, and so very central for everything! Desenzano is charming, and it is so easy to get around the lake with the ferry. We would most definitely recommend this property, and will probably return.

Proprietari gentilissimi e proprietà spettacolare, vista mozzafiato e terrazza da sogno. Ci torneremo.

Everything was perfect. Elana communicated with us before arrival. It turned out to be convenient for Elana's sister, Ida and Ida's husband, Paulo to pick us up at the train station and show us around the apartment and the town. The apartment is comfortable, immaculate and well appointed. We were here 11 days and enjoyed every single moment of the apartment, Desenzano and Lake Garda. It is a perfect location to feel a part of the community. Ferry service to other communities on the Lake is convenient and restaurants and shopping in Desenzano is the best of anyplace on Lake Garda. We could not have been happier with our choice. Thank you Elana, Ida and Paulo. We recommend Carpe Diem without reservation!

Très bon accueil de la part d’Elena, de bon conseil resto, commerce et vin. Superbe appartement idéalement situé avec un grande terrasse avec vue sur les toits, le lac et le château. Nous le recommandons vivement !!! Anne & Fred

We had a wonderful 2 night stay. Excellent communication before we arrived, Ida and Paolo went above and beyond in their hosting - we were collected from the station, shown the apartment and then taken on a quick tour to get our bearings and shown the shops for essentials (including a wine shop at which you can buy 'on tap' wine from 2 euro a litre - bottles provided in the apartment)! The apartment was spotless, beautifully decorated and well equipped but the highlight has to be the views - simply stunning from the good sized roof terrace and every window. Even the bed has been raised so you wake up to the view from the window at the bottom of the bed. The apartment is 2 minutes walk to the main square and harbour yet very peaceful, a perfect combination. We loved the fact that there was no tv (you don't need it with the view) and I'm not sure if there is internet; it allowed us to completely switch off and unwind. We highly recommend this apartment and would definitely return.

I love everything about this place!! Oh and did I say you can see the lake from EVERY window?? Thank you Ida and Paolo, you made us feel so welcome!!
