Location
The apartment is just 5 minutes from the centre of Arco, which is the rock-climbing capital of Italy, so the town has several climbing schools. Arco’s medieval streets, beneath the 12th-Century castle (7 minute drive) are fascinating. The town has many fine buildings and restaurants to suit all budgets. For self-catering, Arco’s weekly market (Tuesday mornings) is the best place to find the freshest local produce. Alternatively, there are supermarkets (3 minutes drive) and other grocery stores in the town.

The villa is a 10-minute drive from the lovely town of Riva del Garda on Lake Garda. This historic town, with its charming cobblestone streets and vibrant piazzas, makes a great day out. Here, travellers can immerse themselves in the local culture, visit historic landmarks such as the Apponale Tower, and browse through quaint boutiques and artisanal shops.

For adventures on the lake, the resort of Torbole (10 minutes) is known as an international hub for windsurfers. There are several schools in the town. Visitors can also kayak and paddleboard nearby. The beach is a lovely place to relax and enjoy the peace of Lake Garda. Away from the water, there are many fine hiking routes. The panoramic Sentiero Busatte Tempesta (14 minutes) is a stunning hike on the eastern shores of the lake.

The nearest international airport is Valerio Catullo, Verona, a 1 hour drive.
