We had an awesome time in Negrar, we felt like we were staying with old friends, in a beautiful modern apartment with the most amazing views. The place was small but super efficiently furnished so it felt like plenty of room even with two teenagers. And most of our time was spent hanging out by the pool, enjoying the views, or going for walks in the surrounding vineyards.
It was an easy walk down to the village with wonderful small shops and local flavor and a quick drive to Verona to see the sights. Even Venice and Milan were only an hour or two away, though Negrar was so lovely, we just couldn't make ourselves leave it for the sights of Venice.
And the hospitality was simply unbelievable. Sumiko and Marco made us feel so welcome. Marco took us on a morning run, hosted us with fabulous wine and homemade olive oil, and our kids had fun playing games with Sumiko and Marco's daughters. We all wished we could have stayed their forever, and hope to go back someday!
