Cherry Slate

Cherry Slate: Lombardy

A stone's throw from the sandy shores and harbour of Lake Garda lies this beautiful apartment, bathed in red. Spread over two floors, everyone will have the space to stretch their legs here. Lounge on the sofa in the open-plan living space while natural light fills the home, or breathe in the fresh air and lakeside views from the cosy balcony. The rich history of the building can be glimpsed in the touches of the original construction that were kept after the 2021 renovation – the wrought iron decor on the staircase railings, and the ornate windows. The traditional blends seamlessly with the modern, with the fully-equipped kitchen allowing you to whip up some fantastic home-cooked meals. That is, when you're not out exploring the dining opportunities that Desenzano del Garda has to offer.

The resort town of Desenzano del Garda has plenty for you to explore, whether by car or on foot. You'll be within easy walking distance of multiple restaurants and cafes, and you'll be just minutes from a stroll along the beautiful beaches and shores that line Lake Garda. For those looking to immerse themselves in the history and culture part of the town, head up to the Roman villa of Desenzano, where you can admire ruins and ancient mosaics. No matter what you're hoping to find on your trip – good food, beautiful scenery, wine tasting, boat tours, and a home away from home, you'll find it all in this little corner of Brescia.
