Appartamenti Pratone

Just returned from a fantastic two week stay at Lake Garda. Had some reservations before our trip having read some of the recent reviews on the apartments but can honestly say we had a great time. Staff at the nearby hotel (where you collect keys from) were very accommodating on our arrival day when we realised we’d be arriving very late in the evening. They made arrangements for us to easily collect the keys and communicated very clearly with us. We arrived in the dark so waking up the following morning to the views of the lake was amazing. The apartments are fairly basic in terms of cooking equipment etc but everything was clean and there are plenty of restaurants nearby! The shower is very small but still manageable and we had an issue with ours not switching off but we contacted the maintenance team and it was repaired within an hour. My one suggestion would be that the lighting in the kitchen area needs to be improved. We had an upstairs apartment with a great outdoor area with a table / seating and a lovely view of the lake. The pool area has plenty of sun beds and we never found it to be particularly busy on any day. We did experience some noise from the apartment next door playing loud music but we asked them to turn it down and they did. Each apartment has its own parking bay so we didn’t experience any issues with parking, even when other people use the entrance to park to visit the beach. The main road is a bit scary if you’re trying to walk to the beach / town as there’s no footpath but you don’t have to walk far to get to the private access to the beach which we walked along day and night and felt very safe.

We stayed here for a couple of nights. The apartment itself was very comfortable and modern. There is a gentleman who comes around in the evening from a local bakery and takes your order, which will be outside your door in the morning when you wake up with delicious, freshly baked goods. There is a restaurant at the top of the hill, but it is very basic. The only downside was that the swimming pool had signs saying 'silence,' and one particular woman, whom I assume lives in the complex, was complaining if the children made noise in the pool, being very angry and aggressive about this. So if you're traveling with children, they are not allowed to make noise in the pool. Good luck with that one!
