Which side of Lake Garda? Why the eastern shore, and why Malcesine

The eastern shore is the Monte Baldo side of the lake: mountains rising straight behind the villages, afternoon wind for sailors and kitesurfers, olive groves and dry-stone walls. Malcesine, with its Scaliger Castle, little harbour and the cable car up to 1,760 metres, is one of the most beautiful villages on the lake and a good base for both the northern (Riva, Torbole) and the southern lake.

Residenza Val di Monte sits on the hillside above the town, on Via Benefizi. It is quiet up here, the view runs across the lake to the western shore, and yet the harbour, the castle and the cable-car station are ten minutes away by car.

Villa, hotel or apartment? What you actually get here

Many visitors search for a Lake Garda villa with a pool because they want space and privacy; others look at hotels for the pool and the view. The apartment gives you both without the compromises: two bedrooms with king-size beds, an open-plan living and dining room with a fully equipped kitchen, a washing machine, fast Wi-Fi – and 120 square metres of terrace outside that belong to you alone.

On the terrace there are a dining table, a barbecue, a parasol and poufs; the hot tub, carved in white Carrara marble, lights up in the evening together with the lines of light in the floor. In the garden, the pool with sun loungers waits between palms and old stone walls. Four private parking spaces are included.

Lake views from the first coffee to the last glass of wine

The view is the reason to stay up here: in the morning the lake is still and silver, in the afternoon it fills with sails, and in the evening the mountains on the far shore turn pink. The king bedroom looks over the lake, the second bedroom over the pool.

Worth knowing: on the eastern shore a lake view almost always means a hillside position. In return you get quiet, parking at the door and no road under the window.

Who the apartment suits

Couples who want a week of quiet with a hot tub and a pool. Families or two couples travelling together, up to four people, who need two proper bedrooms. Active guests who hike, mountain-bike, kitesurf or take the cable car up Monte Baldo and end the day in the hot tub.

It is not a place for groups or parties: it is a calm home for a while, looked after by us and occupied by you alone.

Getting here from the UK and Ireland

Fly to Verona (about 1 h 30 by hire car), Bergamo or Venice (a little over 2 hours), or Milan. From the airports take the A4 or A22 motorways to the lake and then the Gardesana Orientale road up the eastern shore to Malcesine. A car is useful on this side of the lake, because the apartment is on the hill and the lake is ten minutes away; four parking spaces are waiting at the house.

Driving from the UK is possible too – through France and Switzerland via the Gotthard, or through Germany and Austria via the Brenner – and makes a fine two-day journey.
