Szuper apartman, központi helyen
Pros:

A szállás nagyon jó helyen van, séta távolságra minden: a központ, a tópart, éttermek, a felvonó. Karolina a szállásadó szuper kedves, mindenben a segítségünkre volt, rengeteg programot ajánlott. Az apartmanhoz kerékpár is járt. Az apartmanház utcafrontjàn kerékpár kölcsönző es kávézó is volt, azokat is Karolina üzemeltette. Az apartmanhoz privát parkoló tartozott 100-150 m-re, egy kisebb emelkedőn kellett felmenni. Az apartmanház a főút egy utcasarkán van, megállni sem a főúton sem a kis utcában nem lehet, csak a parkolóban. Minden szuper volt, nagyon jól éreztük magunkat.

Great place to stay in Malcesine
Pros:

This was our top stay during our vacation. Spacious apartment with everything we needed, air conditioning in both living room and bedroom, terrace with good view. And it offers free parking and free use of bikes.
The host Carolina was great as well - she provided really detailed guidance on how to find the place and parking, she also gave us tips for places to do and visit. It was real pleasure staying at this place and we’d love getting back for even longer vacation.

Exceptional
Pros:

We loved our stay in Carolina's apartment in Malcesine. Our favourite things about the apartment were definitely access to the pool with a view of the mountains and olive groves, and the view from our apartment balcony - we enjoyed this every morning and evening. The apartment was a good size and had everything we needed. Carolina was very helpful and gave us lots of advice for things to do in Malcesine. Our apartment was also just next to a fantastic restaurant. We had a really lovely trip, thank you Carolina!

Cons:

A note on location: when we booked the "snowboard" apartment I looked at the gardenesa apartment reviews, many of which said that the apartments were in the centre of malcesine, and the description/location of the apartment on the main booking.com page. We only discovered we were staying in the one apartment in a separate building a week before we went, which is a bit of a walk up the hill from central malcesine. This was slightly our fault as the room we booked was labelled "separate building" and had a further description on booking.com if you looked hard enough, but this seemed to be a bit buried. We ended up hiring a car as I was five months pregnant at the time of our visit and so this was fine, but there should probably be a short description on the main booking.com page highlighting if you book the snowboard apartment specifically, it is less central.

We actually ended up really enjoying the location as it was so peaceful and calm and were glad we ended up in this apartment, but thought we should mention for others potentially booking this particular separate apartment who may have accessibility needs. In the end, we loved the apartment and were glad we stayed!
