My boyfriend and I visited the property in early June and we had a fantastic time. The owners were extremely welcoming and were more than happy to help with any queries or issues that we had. Aideen even surprised us with a basket of fresh courgettes and a bowl of rasberries during our stay! The location was perfect as it was only a short walk down to the lake and we were surrounded by beautiful scenery. We didn't hire a car as we were more than happy to walk to and from the lake but if we were coming back particularly late one night a taxi was only about €7 or €8! The apartment itself was extremely clean and tidy and furnished with everything you could possibly need. The open plan kitchen and living area was spacious and modern and we utilised this a lot during our stay because we did a lot of cooking. The owners even provided us with a bottle of olive oil and balsamic from the grove (definitely make use of the Olive Oil it was delicious - I even brought a bottle home with me). The rest of the apartment was also very comfortable and nicely furnished and remained really cool despite the hot temperatues thanks to air conditioning and shutters. My boyfriend and I are definitely hoping to come back and stay at this property again in the future. It is in a great location, the apartment is lovely and the owners are so welcoming. I would definitely recommend this property!

We spent a wonderful week at the Lavanda property. The accommodation was perfect for our needs - modern, tastefully decorated, immaculately clean and well supplied with everything we needed. Having wifi (even though the signal was a little weak at times) was a bonus. We especially liked the large covered porch which meant that we ate every meal outside - even when we had some rain showers! The surroundings were beautiful and so restful, we couldn't have asked for more. The property owners were so welcoming - Aideen and the boys were away, but Diego and the rest of the family were kind and helpful, giving us tips on where to go and what to do. Although you do need a car, you are still not far away from lot of places to visit. We made trips to Venice (by train) and Verona as well as visiting other places closer - Salo, Gardonne, Desenzano and Manerba Del Garda. There were lots of local places to visit for eating out at reasonable prices and a number of supermarkets in the area were easily accessible for stocking up on items for our self-catering needs. We would thoroughly recommend this property and really hope we can be back in the near future to visit all the places we didn't get to and absorb some more of the peace and tranquility of the beautiful surroundings.

We spent a week in Apartment Lavanda and really enjoyed ourselves. Aideen and her family made us feel most welcome and were always friendly and helpful. The apartment provides comfortable accommodation with a well equipped kitchen, good size bedroom and pleasant bathroom. Everywhere was spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated and well furnished. The terrace provides a lovely area to sit out and enjoy a meal and drink while looking out on the spacious and well tended lawned garden and the surrounding hills and mountains. The apartment is well situated for exploring beautiful Lake Garda. We particularly enjoyed the villages and towns along the western shore. The gardens in Gardone Riviera were particularly memorable. Nearby Salo is a very attractive town with a long promenade and plenty of good shops and places to eat. A car is essential although I'd also recommend using the lake boats to explore the eastern and southern shores. A lovely area and an excellent base to explore it from.
