Apartments Villa Bougainville

Good value for money, and well maintained.

The hostess gave me a warm, easy welcome when I arrived, and her friendly, helpful messages beforehand had already made a good impression. The apartment was clean, tidy, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. There was a small seating area outside and a charming courtyard with tables and flowers, plus coffee and tea, a thoughtful touch. But the description mentioned a private balcony, and there wasn’t one. The apartment is in Portese, not central San Felice del Benaco, around a 20-minute walk away. A bar, supermarket, restaurant, and harbor are all within easy walking distance, so I was still well catered for. The listing also said parking was free, but there’s no private space. You have to hope for a spot on a nearby street. The walls are very thin, so getting a good night’s sleep depends a lot on the neighbors. It was often noisy at night for me, which made it hard to rest. It’s a charming place with a wonderful hostess and good amenities, but the lack of a private balcony, uncertain parking, and poor sound insulation mean I wouldn’t return.

The cottage had a lovely view of Lake Garda, and it’s only a five-minute walk to the lake. We also had a clean, good-quality kitchen, a tidy bathroom with a nice shower, and as many fresh towels as we needed. We were warmly welcomed in the villa’s charming entrance hall. I can happily recommend staying here.

The apartment is in a lovely spot, less than a ten-minute walk from Lake Garda, with restaurants just around the corner. It’s bright, fresh, new, and fully equipped, in a charming village with friendly locals. Communication with the host was easy too. Highly recommended!
