Located just a few steps from the shimmering waters of Lake Idro, this welcoming apartment offers a serene retreat for nature lovers and active families. With a private garden perfect for outdoor meals or lounging under the sun, and a cozy living space to relax in after a day of adventure, this holiday home combines comfort with a scenic location. Pets are warmly welcomed here, and the fenced garden makes it a safe haven for your furry companions too.
Lake Idro is a hub for outdoor sports, offering activities like windsurfing, paragliding, kayaking, and trekking. Mornings are perfect for peaceful canoe rides on glassy waters, while afternoons bring the “Ander” breeze—ideal for sailing or windsurfing. Hiking enthusiasts can explore nearby peaks like Corna Blacca and Monte Stino, or venture to Vesta beach, a local climbing hotspot. Don’t miss a visit to Rocca d’Anfo, a historic military fortress perched dramatically above the lake.
Just 100 meters away, charming local restaurants offer authentic dishes featuring mountain cheeses like Bagòss and lake-fresh fish. Try Trattoria del Gallo or Ristorante Pizzeria Al Forno in nearby Crone for hearty regional fare. And for a change of scene, take a mini-cruise across the lake or day trips to Verona and Venice—both within reach for unforgettable cultural escapes.

I would like to divide my experience here into different categories. The heading "Air-conditioned apartment by the lake" I find to be quite misleading, as the air conditioning cannot be used. The air conditioning is probably only used for heating. The pictures do not match the description, as they are already several years old. This should also be revised. Location: The location is beautiful - right by the lake, for that I would give full marks. Facility: The facility is somewhat outdated (especially the inventory - it resembles more of three household liquidations than a targeted furnishing of a holiday home. The bathroom, in my opinion, urgently needs a renovation. It is already damp due to the basement - and a shower with a shower curtain does not improve this deficiency either. The bedroom facing the lake has been newly done and is very successful (unfortunately not visible in the pictures). The second bedroom is significantly older - here, 2 single beds were repurposed with a mismatched frame into one bed, and accordingly, the quality is also lacking. A main reason for my negative review was a plague of millipedes. During our stay, there were unfortunately significant hygiene issues: there were very many millipedes in the bathroom and living area - we are not talking about 2-3 but over 100 per day!!! The presence of these animals was extremely unpleasant and significantly affected our stay. The problem seems to be known to the operator, as he dismissed it as a trifle in a review from 2023. Our holiday experience was clearly marred by this disgusting nuisance. Moreover, it could have been resolved cost-effectively and has existed for a longer time (insect screens on the doors). I would wish that the significantly increased prices are used to remedy the described problems in order to spare future guests from such a holiday experience. We booked the apartment above several years ago - in my opinion, it is much nicer and I would recommend it; I will not book the lower one again. Unfortunately, there was no remedy after the complaint, neither from the operator nor from Belvilla.

The location on Lake Idro is unique. Just open the garden gate and jump into the lake! This holiday apartment is perfect for me and my needs.
The interior is not very comfortable, but I personally don't attach much importance to that. If the weather is good, you spend most of your time outside anyway. My dog felt right at home in the garden and walks in the forest are possible from the house. I actually wanted to book this holiday home again, but I'm a little surprised by the not insignificant price increase.

The apartment has a very nice location right on the lake.
Unfortunately, the house and its inventory are very old.
There is mold on the walls on the ground floor and the tiles in the bathroom have been permanently wet since arrival, since before using the bathroom and airing.
Unfortunately, the bathroom on the ground floor was also very dirty, with a lot of hair and the toilet was probably not cleaned at all, so we only used the bathroom on the upper floor, which was a bit cleaner.
We had to wash the dishes before using them because most of them were dirty.
We preferred to go out to eat and didn't use the dirty old pots.
The communication with the landlady was rather difficult and not really possible because she doesn't speak a word of English and tried to explain everything to us in Italian.
We would not book this apartment again.

This cottage has a lovely location. Lake Idro is smaller and quieter than Garda, and this is a holiday home for those who want a more secluded stay (though we were there in September - may be busier in high season). There are two apartments in the building, a larger one on the lower two floors and a smaller single-floor one at the top - all clean, tidy and comfortable. There's a pretty garden where you can sit and enjoy views over the lake and the mountains, and a small beach just the other side of the road at the bottom of the garden. All very quiet and restful. The village a few miles down the road has a small supermarket and there's a larger Coop at the next village along. NB there's no Wifi, but there is TV - and plenty of scope for walking and swimming. Last but not least, the owners, Michele and Miriam, are charming and generous hosts and live close enough to be able to solve problems and advise if needed. We felt by the end of our stay tht we could regard them as friends rather than just landlords. The only other thing I'd add is that the motorway is some 50 km away on a road that can get quite jammed, which means you need to allow a couple of hours or more to visit cities such as Verona or Bergamo. Brescia is closer, and also worth a visit. Like I say, a place for those who want to relax in quiet, beautiful surroundings and explore the local countryside (which is magnificent) rathe than as a city sightseeing centre.

I rented the house making sure it was fenced ... I'm on my third day of vacation and I'm starting to feel nervous .. I have to keep my 6 month old puppy tied up all the time otherwise he ends up on the street. On the ground floor we are plagued by small centipedes due to the abundant humidity. The ground bathroom with the shower is permanently wet and damp ... There is a strong musty smell inside the cupboards and drawers .. We had to wash cutlery, pots and pans. , dishes, salad bowls, etc of the kitchen, very dirty .. Mrs. Miriam is very kind and puts you at ease but does not console everything else ...
