Corte Benaco by Wonderful Italy - Valtenesi

Great...

We had a large apartment with a terrace for our week here. The air conditioning worked really well, and the pool was lovely and big, but there weren’t enough loungers for everyone. Shops and a bakery were close by, which was a big plus, and our children loved the nearby ice cream shop. The ice cream was really good, and the beach was an easy walk away. There wasn’t much for tourists to do in the evenings. There were quite a few problems inside. The apartment felt dated, and the kitchen was very sparsely equipped. The dishwasher didn’t clean properly, all the pan coatings were damaged and needed replacing, and there weren’t enough glasses. We were given four coffee capsules, but three were broken. The power went out at least once a day. My husband had to fix the badly creaking double bed and the broken washing machine. The apartment also wasn’t clean when we arrived. Communication before the trip was slow, and the company didn’t always answer our questions.

The beach is about a five-minute walk away, with a bakery, pizzerias, an ice cream shop, and a supermarket nearby. Parking is available too. We stayed for a week in a large apartment with three bedrooms and a roomy eat-in kitchen. Wi-Fi worked even by the pool, which was a real highlight. Ours didn’t have a balcony or terrace, though the other apartments in the complex do. We’d definitely stay again.

The view was fantastic, and the place was spacious, clean, and modern, with a central location about a five-minute walk from Lake Garda. Dogs are welcome, and we had a lovely stay. The ashtrays hadn’t been emptied, though, and the hallway wasn’t cleaned, with dirt left in the corners. We’d still happily come back.
