My apartment in Marta is beautifully furnished, & located on a quiet side street 3 minute walk from the town center & lake shore. Life in Marta is a small Italian fishing community not yet spoiled by tourism, yet in the summer they have many " Festas" which are all part of the Italian life. It is ideal location to experience all that Italy has to offer. The festa di Barabbata in May is the most important of all their festas. Festa di Latarina, festa di Corregone, both fish from the lake as well as festa di canniola a local wine produced only in Marta. Many activities along the lake shore in the summer evenings with live music, dancing.
