Cisano pet-friendly rentals

landlady very friendly and resolved key box problem that did not open

Good sized and comfortable apartment with generous garden and magnificent views. There is a lovely terrace to sit and eat out, see the lake and the mountains, and watch the boats and the sunsets. The garden has olives and other trees, with lots of places to sit and lounge - both shady spots and sunny spots. Inside there is a very spacious sitting room with comfy chairs. There are maps and information about walks, and also books and magazines. The kitchen is fairly small but very well equipped, lots of pots and utensils, and everything works well. The owners are very welcoming, generous and helpful. Torri del Benaco is a short walk away down an interesting (and steep) high-walled road. See if you can find all the ammonite fossils in the stones along the way! Torri is a nice little town, with lots of restaurants, cafes and boutiques, a couple of decent small supermarkets. There are bigger supermarkets at Garda and Bardolino. There is a good bus service, and there are ferries but we didn’t use those. There are lots of directions to go walking from the house. The walk to Crero is delightful, and the new Tibetan bridge across a spectacular gorge beyond Crero is a must. It is mountainbiking heaven - we reckon it is better than the more famous Riva end of the lake. There are lots of really good rides at all levels of difficulty. There is a bike hire (including e-bikes) shop in Torri.

The property is well appointed and is even better than the images on line. Its location is great for a nice stroll in to Bardolino (about 25 mins) and there are lots of restaurants within a 10 minute walk of the property. The pool is across the road only 2 mins away, this was occasionally inconvenient when you just want a quick dip to cool off. Maybe an outside shower at the property would be one way to help. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.

We spent 3 nights in apartement and everything was great.
