Today we are ready for a Vespa outing, the sun has already shown itself in all its splendour since early morning, contrasting with the turquoise sky. Riding along the western Gardesana today is more beautiful than ever, to the left the ancient walls bordering Lake Garda and to the right all the shades of green of the vegetation.
I love not going too fast on my motorbike and with my helmet back with goggles because I am also lucky enough to smell the scents which, combined with the landscape, make for a 360° experience.
Our tour starts from Monte Gu, as they call it here, we are over 1550 m on Monte Pizzocolo where we can admire the Adamello group, Monte Rosa, the Apennines, Monte Baldo and the ValVestino dam.
We stop at the “due aceri” bivouac, where there is a small church dedicated to the fallen of all wars, because from the top we truly have a wonderful view of the enchanted place in which the property we are about to see is set.
Back on our bikes, we finally head for Toscolano Maderno which, as I have told you, is located on the western shore of Lake Garda, in the province of Brescia. This small town has ancient roots, even dating back to Roman times, and is known for its natural beauty, with its breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding hills, but also for its rich history and culture. In the past it was also an important centre of paper production in the afternoon walk to the Valle delle Cartiere we will see an interesting paper museum.
The two-room apartment set in a modern residential centre overlooks on one side the ancient port of Toscolano, which between the 15th and 18th centuries was a centre for sorting paper and iron, from where boats arrived and departed for Venice, and on the other the practical swimming pool set in the beautiful condominium park, which allows us to enjoy our holidays with all the comforts.
We reach the flat, which is on the third floor, by an external staircase overlooking the central park, and from here we access the living area with two views, one of which overlooks the small terrace overlooking the lake and the other the terrace from which we entered.
The sleeping area is independent and bordered by a door beyond which is the bathroom with shower and to the right the master bedroom which overlooks the terrace with pool view and to the left the single bedroom which overlooks the small balcony with lake view.
The staircase from the living room leads to a splendid private terrace on the fourth and top floor, structured in such a way as to guarantee total privacy and a special place to spend evenings alone or in company.
You thought the surprises were over? Wrong, the flat is completed by a garage and a practical cellar.
How? OK let’s get the bike and go and see it…you will be as enraptured as I am.
