Appartamento Scalinata San Rocco

Hidden behind a stone arch on Via Nova, this ground-floor apartment in Limone sul Garda opens onto a private terrace with direct views across the lake and Monte Baldo's ridgeline — a framing that most lakefront hotels charge a premium for.

The kitchen runs fully equipped: oven, stovetop, dishwasher, washing machine, and coffee machine allow stays of a week or more without dependence on restaurants. Parquet floors, a dining area, and a sofa bed give it genuine domestic scale rather than holiday-rental minimalism.

Limone's old town sits within a short walk, with canoeing and windsurfing hire operators along the shoreline below. Private check-in and a private entrance mean arrival times are flexible — useful given the village's single winding road and irregular bus connections from Desenzano.
