Perched high above lake Garda, Dimora Bolsone sits and observes with quiet dignity the beautiful lake below. At night the lights twinkle and the opera from the open air summer concerts drift sweetly up the valley. Sipping wine watching the flickering and listening to the vocals lulls you into a trance which you take on for the duration of your time here.
Breakfasts on the patio are a treat. Aged parmesan with local honey, cured jamon and lemon are a hedonistic combination that I became addicted to. Dessert of beautifully made apple cake from a family recipe or the most sublime of gelato - I ran up the hills every morning before breakfast so that I could enjoy at leisure with no guilt! Such were the breakfast delights!!
The local restaurant of Osteria Antico Borolo was our regular haunt - we ate there every night it was open.
The villages around Garda are beautiful. The lake is large and wide and it's one of the most popular places for kite surfing. Watching it is quite something.
Even in August Garda is not overrun with tourists. It's a beautiful part of Italy of that there is no doubt.
