The fresco of the virgin on the main facade is thought to be a later addition and dates from the late 18th century.

There’s a balcony on the front for breakfast and another at the back where you can enjoy an early evening aperitivo and watch the sun set over the rooftops.

Please note: Whilst the apartment is safe for all ages and we welcome children, parents will need to be very careful with children and infants around the front and rear balconies (there are no obvious gaps but the building is historic) and all guests should be careful with the ceiling fans, only operating them at their own risk. Guest access Entire apartment. Other things to note We simply love this Italian Lakes 2 bedroom apartment. For us it ticks all the boxes - contemporary and yet full of character thanks to its age, walking distance to some great restaurants, private outside space (there is nothing better than eating breakfast on the terrace or enjoying an evening drink watching the sun set) and just a stroll away from some superb beaches in one of our favourite parts of the lake.
