It is better to write to the host in advance or call him. Idyllic little farm with many different animals (ponies, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, bees, insects of all kinds...) and a very nice host who speaks German and Englisch, has lots of good tips for the area and his mom, who likes to speak in Italian and bring apricots or blackberries. There is a mini pool to cool off in and you can rend bikes and rickshaw. The bathroom is very modern and clean. By the nearby river there is a nice beer garden with delicious foccacia. There are various small specialties to buy, such as eggs, honey, jam, wine, vinegar and olive oil. A trip to Mantua is recommended and it is half an hour from Lake Garda or Verona.You park in the field, little shade for the summer, sometimes music coming from the restaurant on the river.
