Holiday Time In Bardolino, Lake Garda Italy



What can I say Oh My Bardolino has been amazing!

I've wanted to visit Lake Garda for a few years now, I'd seen all the pictures, Richard E Grants Hotels TV show and obviously the paparazzi snaps of George Clooney who has a place here.

Well what can I say it certainly lived up to my expectations.  The hotels in Bardolino where a little overpriced for us so we decided to stay in an AirBNB our first time to try it out.

We was only a short 10-15min walk away from Bardolino centre and we'd also hired a car to make sure we could take in as many sights as we could.

There are so many other towns to visit on Lake Garda, a 45 min walk along the lake front will take you to Lake Garda town itself and you can catch the lake buses to visit more of the towns all just as beautiful.

We took in a trip to Verona which was a beautiful town to see the sights but in particular Juliets Balcony.

We had an amazing meal on the lake front with the sun setting as we ate.

Oh and to my top my delight Bardolino has its own Rose Wine which was gorgeous (we bought a few bottles back) and how can I forget the ICE CREAM!

Slacking off so soon

Dinan, Brittany France
Ahh but I have a valid excuse, I've been on holiday to Dinan in France and had a wonderful time. Its such a lovely place I want to move there !!!


Obviously I wasn't on holiday all this time when I got back I set about making changes to my website to allow for me to accept orders and payments direct from my site and today it is complete at last (apart from a few minor tweaks ;)


Please take the time to have a look and I hope you like it as much as I have enjoyed the hard slog of getting it up and running.
