Residence San Zeno - near centre and lake, parking

Wonderfull and short ways to the city an the see.

We stayed at the property for 2 weeks. The apartment had all of the amenities we needed, and it was well equipped with all kitchen appliances as required. It is very well positioned for direct access to the centre of Bardolino. It is about a 100 yard walk on a slight decent to the main road. At the opening to the main road and to the left is a decent restaurant and a good mini golf for a but of fun and distraction. 10 minutes to the left - just past the Hotel Beatrix - gets you to the Spar store with all you would need (including freshly cooked chickens - very nice). There are a couple of good bars with live music as you walk down the first road into the Centre straight on. At the junction just on from there, there is a stationery store with daily English newspapers (2.5 euro). Moving further down brings you to the Loboa restaurant and bar - worth a visit. Turning right past the Assobar and under the archway leads into the centre of the town. The restaurant on the right hand corner as you look towards the lake on the main street (widest and pictured on the site) has the best breakfasts with fresh croissants every day (we watched them being made just around the corner - excellent). At the front you will see the Yacht bar and also the Miralago, just passed the Catullo Hotel. Both are good for general food and drinks. The Miralago has an attached ice cream parlour - one of two of the best in Bardolino. If you walk up the street that corners the ice cream parlour just mentioned, the restaurant you will meet on the right is one of the best in Bardolino. Also head further towards the end of the town centre to find more excellent restaurants, shops and bars. Tips; The garden is great for sun bathing but beware the ants; The access gate is worked by a key fob, but the side gate is opened using the right hand of the three white buttons (took us 3 days to sus that one out as we though both gates were key use); The bath has been replaced by 2 showers - press the button on the shower disc to switch - very good shower head. Worth a visit to Malcesine and the cable car to the top of mount Baldo but beware the sun and put plenty of sun cream on - its cool but you will get burned - views are fantastic. You can get the 164 bus - to and from - the airport to the main bus station in Bardolino for 4.8 euros - its takes about 1 hr and 10 but saves a fortune on taxi fares.Have a good holiday - we did as our second visit and we may return. Many thanks to Rosella our host.
