On a Gentle Wind

On a Gentle Wind: Lombardy

In the historic centre of Desenzano del Garda, close to the shores of Lake Garda lies this cosy modern apartment. Sit out on your own balcony and breathe in the fresh air, or head down to some of the communal seating and soak in the sunshine. Lounge on the sofa in the open-plan living, dining and kitchen space as natural light fills the space, or set your laptop up at the dining table for some remote work. This home is perfect for those who want to relax and watch the world go by, as well as those who want to keep up productivity during their trip. When everyone's tummies are rumbling, the well-equipped kitchen will allow you to whip up some simple home-cooked meals – that is, if you're not out exploring the dining opportunities that Desenzano del Garda has to offer.

This home will place you just a short walk away from the beautiful beaches and shores that line Lake Garda – let the kids play, or head out on a boat tour for some adventure on the water. For those looking to immerse themselves in the history of the town, head to the ancient ruins of the Roman villa or the magnificent Desenzano Castle and discover some of the rich and varied histories of the province. No matter what you're hoping to find on your trip – good food, wine tasting, scenic tours and a home away from home, you'll find it all here, perfect for tourists wanting to feel like a local.

Home truths:
