Best Toscolano holiday apartments

Sitting on the shores of the stunning Lake Garda in the region of Lombardy, the small town of Toscolano is ideal for experiencing the many charms of traditional rural Italy. Merged with its sister town of Maderno in 1928; the area as a whole is known as Toscolano-Maderno. With a number of picturesque villages in the surrounding area and the peaks of Mount Pizzocolo acting as a stunning backdrop, Toscolano is a scenic delight and a wonderfully tranquil base from which to explore Lake Garda. By renting a holiday apartment in Toscolano from 9flats, you can feel part of the tight-knit community as the apartments are mainly situated in the residential areas of the town. This offers a similar experience to couchsurfing in Toscolano, although the 9flats range of holiday accommodation allows you more personal space and delivers a higher standard of comfort.

Tranquil Holiday Apartments in Toscolano

This area of Lombardy enjoys a pleasantly mild climate throughout the year, even during winter, making Toscolano an ideal all-year round destination. The surrounding mountainous countryside is very popular with mountain bikers and ramblers. In addition, it is also possible to traverse the many country trails on horseback, a marvellously relaxing experience, particularly when the sun sparkles off the lake. For those who prefer a little less physical activity, there are a number of historic buildings within the area to explore. As is the case with many Italian towns and cities, Toscolano is home to a variety of delightful churches, some, such as the Sanctuary of the Madonna of Benaco, dating all the way back to the eleventh century. In addition to Toscolano, 9flats has accommodation for rent in other nearby areas along the west coast of Lake Garda, including holiday apartments in Maderno and holiday apartments in Manerba, many offering excellent views.

Traditional Italian Holiday Accommodation in Toscolano

The western shores of Lake Garda, particularly around the immediate vicinity in which Toscolano is situated, are the most mountainous, with both Mount Pizzocolo and Mount Castell di Gaino adding dramatic elements to the overall scenic vista. This makes this area of Lake Garda possibly more suited to those of a more active nature although, as already mentioned, there are a number of historic attractions and quaint neighbouring towns to visit. One such place is Gardone, a pretty town that is often bursting with colour due to its rich abundance of flowers. Gardone manages to be even more tranquil and peaceful than Toscolano and is the perfect place to take a leisurely stroll along the lake edge at twilight.
