Right then, you travel enthusiasts, there’s a way to experience Lake Garda that goes beyond the typical hotel, offering you the freedom, space, and autonomy that only a real home can provide. If you dream of holidays without fixed schedules, with the possibility of preparing your favourite breakfast or a dinner under the stars after a day of exploration, then apartments and holiday homes on Lake Garda are the perfect solution for you.
Here at Garda Outdoors, we know that for families, groups of friends, or couples seeking a more intimate and personalised experience, having a “home away from home” can make all the difference. Forget unpacking your suitcase every day and queuing for breakfast: here, you set the pace.
Why choose an apartment or holiday home on Lake Garda
Choosing this type of accommodation means embracing a flexible way of travelling that’s tailored to your needs. Here are the main advantages:
- Space and privacy: More spacious than a hotel room, apartments offer separate living areas, multiple bedrooms and, often, outdoor spaces like balconies, terraces, or gardens. Ideal for families with children who need more freedom.
- Kitchen autonomy: Having a fully equipped kitchen means you can prepare your own meals. This not only offers the freedom to stick to your dietary habits or try recipes with local products bought at the market, but it’s also a great way to manage your holiday budget.
- Flexible timings: You dictate the day’s rhythm. Wake up when you want, enjoy a leisurely breakfast, return from your excursion whenever you like, without restaurant constraints.
- Feeling “local”: Living in an apartment allows you to immerse yourself more in village life, shop at local stores, and feel less like a tourist and more part of the community.
- Value for groups and families: Often, the cost per person for an apartment or holiday home is more advantageous than booking multiple hotel rooms, especially for larger groups or families.
Which apartment to choose: finding your ideal solution
Lake Garda offers an incredible variety of apartments and holiday homes, suitable for every taste and budget. You can find the perfect solution by exploring the different areas of the lake:
- Lakeside or near the centre: For those who want shops, restaurants, and beaches within easy reach, villages like Lazise, Bardolino, Peschiera del Garda, or Riva del Garda offer numerous apartments, some even with breathtaking lake views.
- In the inland hills: For those seeking greater tranquillity, cooler temperatures, and a more authentic connection with nature and agricultural traditions, the hinterland areas like Valtenesi, the Bardolino hills, or the Tignale and Tremosine regions offer apartments nestled in olive groves or vineyards. These options often also feature private gardens and shared pools.
- Residences with services: Many apartment complexes, known as “residences,” offer additional services like swimming pools, tennis courts, children’s play areas, and sometimes even a reception service or a bar. They are an excellent compromise between the autonomy of an apartment and the conveniences of a serviced accommodation.
Tips for a perfect apartment holiday
- Book in advance: The best apartments and those with the top locations sell out quickly, especially in high season. We recommend booking well in advance.
- Check services: Always verify what’s included (linens, final cleaning, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, parking) to avoid surprises.
- Explore local markets: Take advantage of your kitchen to cook with the freshest local products you’ll find at Garda’s weekly markets. It will be an authentic culinary experience!
- Use the cycle paths: Many apartments are located a short distance from splendid cycle paths. Hire a bike and explore the area freely.
