Lakeside Heights

Located in the historic centre of Desenzano del Garda, directly overlooking the Feltrinelli Square with views of the beautiful Lake Garda, this second-floor apartment is waiting to be discovered. The traditional feel of the original exposed beams and natural earthy tones will make you and your four-legged friends feel instantly at home, whether you're sprawling on the comfy sofa or whipping up a light lunch in the charming kitchen area. The double bed is comfy and big enough to spread out in, which makes up for the curtain being all that separates it from the rest of the apartment.

Whether you're travelling for business or pleasure, you'll be spoiled for choice in how you spend your days. With an array of local shops, cafes and restaurants at your fingertips and the scenic Lake Garda just across the road, you'll be able to enjoy the mix of local life and tourist attractions. Go for a boat trip on the calm blue waters, or head to one of the golden beaches that adorn the lakeside and let the kids play in the sun and sand. For those looking to immerse themselves in the history of the town, head to the magnificent Desenzano Castle and discover some of the rich histories of the area. No matter what you're hoping to find on your trip – good food, wine tasting, scenic tours or simply a home away from home, you'll find it all here.
