Good and Not so Good
Good 1st. The check in was quick, easy and contactless. Gino was always a text or phone call away and very pleasant. The property is absolutely quiet and beautiful. The farmhouse is nestled in an olive grove with a panaramic view of Lake Garda and surrounding mountains.
The Not so Good - Air conditioning only in the two upstairs bedrooms. No where else and not specified in the VRBO property description. I had been to Malcesine before and consider air conditioning essential in summer. I would not have selected the house if I had known. The rest of the house was very hot.
The drive to the house is straight up from the town of Malcesine. A 10 minute hair raising adventure with many hairpin turns, some with mirrors to check for opposing traffic. Fun the 1st couple of times.
No hot water the day we checked in and the day we left. I think it gets turned off between stays. The plumber was out the 2nd day and I don't think it got turned back on.
Finally, there was no soap in the house: hand, dish nor laundry. When I asked Gino he initially said it wasn't included in the rental but he did end up getting us set up with soaps the next morning so you may want to double check.
