The new building to see takes me to Trentino and precisely to Besenello. On a beautiful evening in early autumn I leave the motorway to continue on the most picturesque state, travel in Trentino is very simple right and left mountains and from Verona to the Brenner you can proceed only from north to south or vice versa. I stop to have dinner in Rovereto, a walk in this small but beautiful urban center with clear Venetian influences. The biggest surprise I had was when I left for Trento suddenly I see on my right a kind of vessel that seems to fly. An illuminated ship that sails suspended in the void...needless to say that my innate curiosity leads me to leave the main road to follow what seems almost a mirage. And so, with a day in advance and casually, I discover Besenello and its splendid castle. Castel Beseno (this is the name of the mysterious object that seemed to float) was strategically built on a hill along the road connecting I...
“How I wish my friends were next to me for a moment and could enjoy the view before me! Tonight I could have reached Verona but I would have missed out on a wonder of nature, an enchanting spectacle, Lake Garda: I didn't want to miss it, and I was magnificently rewarded for this diversion." I imagine Goethe getting out of his carriage and admiring the beauty of the lake at the beginning of autumn, we know that he visited it in September, when the air has a perfect temperature, the sky reaches an intense blue and the mountains enclose in an embrace Riva are covered with colored spots. On its banks Klimt, sitting on a low wooden stool, captured the essence of the lake and its homes, thus allowing the whole world to admire it. But we find its beauty in the divine comedy, in Virgil's Georgics and in many other works, because not only did the Habsburg court come to spend relaxing holiday periods, but it has always been a popular destination....
Everything you could want from a house in the mountains. In these few words, this apartment could be summarized as an apartment on the Brentonico plateau in the locality of San Vincenzo. Roof-top attic, private garden, private entrance, fireplace, garage and parking space as well as a magnificent view of the Polsa San Valentino ski slopes. What more could you ask for for your free time in the mountains? As mentioned, we are in San Giacomo di Brentonico, one of the most popular tourist destinations on the plateau, also famous for its cross-country skiing center. The apartment is situated in a residential complex built at the beginning of the 90s, consisting of small, terraced houses that extend over three floors. It occupies the first and second floors of the head portion, with independent access from the small balcony at the back of the house, where there is also a small private garden. On the first floor there is the living area, as so...
We are in Trentino, specifically in beautiful Valsugana, where one cannot help but notice among the foliage of the trees two limpid bodies of water, the lakes of Caldonazzo and Levico. But let us dwell on Lake Caldonazzo a short distance from our apartment. We are in an optimal climatic zone that gives the waters of the lake ideal temperatures for bathing from May to the end of September; after all, it is one of the warmest lakes in Europe. In addition to this special feature, you should know that there are free beaches and equipped bathing establishments on its shores. In fact, the lake is ideal for practicing various sports such as sailing, canoeing, windsurfing, rowing, and water skiing. Those who enjoy fishing will also find a wide variety of fish such as trout, rudd, carp, sun perch and tench. Now, however, we head into the historic center of town, on one of Caldonazzo's main streets, where on the 1st floor of a quaint historic hou...
Given its strategic position, the small village of Flavon, located in the heart of the lower Val di Non, is ideal for those who love nature and tranquillity. Immersed in the famous apple orchards and in nature bursting with colors and shapes, it is the ideal starting point for discovering the wonders of the valley, both scenic and historical-artistic, such as the Sanctuary of San Romedio, the numerous castles, waterfalls or the Emerald Lake Canyon. From the village start the paths that lead to the shelters on Monte Alto and there are many possibilities for excursions on horseback, on foot or by bicycle, but it is also easy to reach the famous lake of Tovel, framed by the majestic landscape of the Brenta Dolomites, a paradise for hikers and mountaineers from all over the world. In the historic part of the town we find this large property, represented by a portion of a historic house open on two sides and equipped with a small private gar...
