Would not recommend this Apartment
We chose this apartment after reading the reviews and because it was near to Malcesine castle where our daughter was getting married. Getting the car in and out was far from easy due to the VERY steep slope!!! My brother in law had to sleep on the bed in the lounge which was appauling. The mattress was wafer thin and in two parts. The oven could have done with a good clean. fortunately we only had to use the once as we ate out every day. You could not use more than two electical appliances at the same time otherwise the electics would cut out.!!! The neighbours above us were very noisy I think they decided to move furniture every night just as we were goin to bed.
On our return we naturally thought we would be getting all of our deposit back but no the owner had decided to keep some of it as there was a tear in one of the sun loungers. I did try telling her that the tear was already there and maybe it was caused by the sun loungers being stacked one on top of the other. The owner told me they are never stacked and after a few exchanges of emails was told to get over it as was our fault and we would not be getting all our deposit back. We have been renting apartments all over the world for the past 20 years and have never had any deposit kept or been spoken to like that.
Apart from all this Malcesine is a beautiful place and our daughter had a lovely wedding at the castle. We shall be returning but finding somewhere else to stay!!!
Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen! Die Wohnung ist liebevoll einrichtet und verfügt über eine große Terrasse mit Blick auf den See. Etwas abseits vom Ort, so dass man dem Trubel entgehen konnte. Aber in ca. 10 Minuten ist man zu Fuß in Malcesine. Sehr nette Vermieterin. Wir kommen sicherlich wieder.
Lovely ground floor apartment, well appointed and in excellent condition (very clean, beautifully furnished and good air conditioning). 10 min downhill walk into a beautiful historic town with many small streets and boutique shops, bars, restaurants. The return uphill should be very manageable for anyone without injuries or disabilities. The apartment terrace overlooks an olive garden. Beyond the tree line is Lake Garda. The lake can be seen from the driveway but not from the terrace. Not a problem for us, but for those who want a 'lake view' should consider this. The driveway for the car is on a *very* steep hill down to the garage. Not a problem if you have good clutch control :-). On arrival, we were met by Anny who was lovely. Very friendly and welcoming. She went through everything including recommendations and restaurants to visit. The owner, Laura, was also very helpful, connecting us with a great windsurfing school (Nany's Acqua Centre). Overall, we had a fabulous time and would be very happy going back.
We took a last minute decision to visit lake Garda for a week. We booked the flat without really knowing a great deal about the area. It proved to be a good choice. Malcesine is a lovely town with a good selection of restaurants and plenty to do for outdoors types. The flat itself is exactly as described and the air conditioning a great bonus when it’s really hot which it was while we were there. We had a great time!
Really helpful host, nice touches on arrival to welcome us. Great location and area. And lovely property with great facilities to enjoy your time Malcesine.
Wir waren eine Woche lang in Lauras wunderbarem Appartement in Malcesine. Von der Buchung über den CheckIn bis zur Abreise war alles perfekt organisiert, auf alle Fragen kamen umgehend Antworten und jede Nachricht war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Vor Ort war Angie ein wahrer Schatz, sie stand jederzeit auch per WhatsApp mit Rat und Info zur Verfügung ;-)
Die Wohnung selber war mit den drei Schlafzimmern perfekt für unsere große Familie und wir haben uns mit der stilvoll-noblen Einrichtung sehr wohlgefült. Am Anfang fanden wir die Einfahrt in Garage etwas "abenteuerlich" - wir sind keine steilen Hänge gewohnt - es klappte aber alles wunderbar.
Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt - gerne wieder!
Paul mit Familie.

Comfortable and spacious apartment in a good location for walking to main tourist attractions
The apartment is well located in a quiet residential area with easy access to the lake side promenade, ferry boats, centro storico and cable car to the Mountains.
It is tastefully decorated and provides everything required including air conditioning in the main areas and master bedroom, WiFi and plenty of balcony space for sun bathing and dining.
You will find Annie most helpful providing local information and assisting with taxi transfers.

Great place to stay - super convenient for Malcesine and quiet in the evenings
We were welcomed by the caretaker Annie, who speaks English very well. She showed us around, made sure we had all the info we needed, and even gave some good restaurant and event suggestions.
Everything is clean, spacious and comfortable. The air-con is a great bonus, and we although the temperatures were never above 32 outside, we appreciated using the air-con in the evenings.
Parking is in the garages under the building - it's a bit steep getting up and down there, but no real problems.
Overall, a great place. Highly recommended.

Lived up to expectations, well equipped and only a few minutes walk from town and Lake shore.
Sottodossi was a great base for our 3 generational family wedding gathering in Malcesine. Some initial confusion over bookings and Laura’spayment system made me slightly nervous that all would be well. However I need not have worried, Laura was very helpful with any questions we had, and the lovely house manager Annie was 5 star during our stay, always going the extra mile to ensure the experience we had was 5 star as well!
Malcesine is a lovely place to visit, wedding or no!
Definitely would recommend a stay.

Clean, convenient location and everything you need is there
The apartment was clean, very spacious and very close to town so it was a quick walk to everything. The only difficulty for us was the driveway and that was because we had a large car. Overall a great find that we would highly recommend.

Wonderful!
We loved Laura's appartment in Malcesine!
The place was exactly as you can read on the internet:
A big, neat and clean appartment with 3 bedrooms (the beds were very comfortable), 2 bathrooms and a very well equipped kitchen. Too bad that we couldn't use the huge terrace due to the weather around Easter this year. Having breakfast outside would have been perfect.
It is obvious that this appartment is not just an object to be rented, the owner spends time there too. So everything is decorated very tastefully - we didn't miss a single thing.
The location of the appartment couldn't be any better - a quiet neighborhood in walking distance to the shops, the harbour and the funicular to Monte Baldo.
If there are any questions during the booking process, Laura responds very fast. About 1 week before arrival you'll get directions how to find the appartment. In Malcesine there is a lovely housekeeper, Annie, taking care of everything. You can always reach Annie when there are problems (like having forgotten the keys inside the appartment) or ask her for some insider tips during the stay. The deposit is being retransfered right after the vacation.
We can definitely recommend Laura's appartment to everyone:
The appartment is a perfect place to spend a great holiday at the Lake Garda. Laura is a reliable landlord. Annie is the perfect help for any question you might have in Malcesine. There is nothing else you might wish for a holiday except for sunny weather!

Home from Home
This is the third time our family has rented this lovely apartment and it has just been beautifully refurbished and air conditioning installed, so it's even better than before. it's a real home from home for us. What keeps us coming back is partly the situation (on the lower slope of Monte Baldo, near the cable car route) and partly the apartment itself, which is comfortable and well-equipped, with a large wrap-around balcony. It's ideal for our family of five. (Be aware though that it is uphill from the town and that the driveway is sloping. There are steps to negotiate down from the road to the front door. No problem for us, but this may be a challenge if you have mobility problems.)
The owner Laura is quick to reply to messages and her representative on site is very helpful. Deposits are always quickly returned at the end of our stay.

Splendid!
Very nice, easy, precise and effective communication with both Laura (owner) and Annie (care taker). A high degree of flexibility. Damage deposit very quickly returned. Very nice apartement with everything you need. Located in a silent area, but at the same time very close to the heart of Malcesine and the beach. 5 mins to walk to the cableway to Monte Baldo, 5 mins to the beach and 8 mins to Malcesine town. We would love to come back!

Lovely apartment, Great service
Great apartment and close to town.
Following our return we were advised that we left numerous clothes in the wardrobe by mistake (we had not actually noticed- oops) however we were quickly informed, send pictures of the items and these posted back to our home address in the UK. We have also had fast confirmation of the return of the security deposit.
This booking was very easy to arrange, the owner and housekeeper are lovely to deal with and the overall service fantastic.
Thank you .

Fantastic
We were attending a wedding at the castle and stayed with family members. Firstly the location was perfect for us, it was quiet and yet a short stroll into the centre. Some other guests stayed at a nice hotel half way up the mountain however it is really difficult to get taxis, therefore accommodation within walking distance turned out to be really important. The apartment was spacious as described, clean and had everything (and more) that you would need. Annie, the housekeeper was amazing, so kind and helpful and on hand if we needed anything. I would certainly recommend this apartment.
We would have not thought about a holiday to Malcesine, prior to the wedding invite however were all amazed about how beautiful everything was and now all looking forward to returning.

Perfectly located apartment
We had a truly wonderful time in Lauras apartment. It’s located perfectly - you just walk 5 minutes to the heart of Malcesine with restaurants, shopping-possibilities, ect. The beach is pretty close, too.
Communication with Laura was easy and professional. A few weeks prior to our vacation, she described the easiest way to the location an gave us the cell-number of housekeeper Anna, who is a very nice and helpful person (she speaks several languages, what’s helpful). There was water and a bottle of wine waiting for us in the fridge, when we arrived – that’s what I call great hosts!
The apartment was neat and clean and perfectly equipped. The huge terrace that is surrounded by plenty of olive trees, is perfect for calm summer nights.
The only little problem was the limited parking space. We arrived with two cars, but there was only space for one in the garage. BUT: Anna was so kind to ask the neighbors and they allowed us to park on their ground. Also very, very nice persons, by the way!
I can only recommend Lauras place to everyone, who wants to visit Malcesine. It has everything you could ask for and as mentioned before, Laura and Anna are absolutely reliable, nice persons.

Great location only minutes to the centre, parking, plus beautifully finished and furnished with all utilities, and absolutely spotless. Lovely outdoor area as well.

Great week in Malcesin
We have just had a lovely week in Malcesine celebrating our daughters wedding at the Castle. Laura's apartment is excellent. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and very well equipped. As in other reviews, Annie greeted us and was very welcoming and provided lots of advice.
The property is only a few minutes walk from the town as described.
The property does have a steep drive and steps, although we didn't find this to be a problem and the car was parked out of the sun in the underground garage.
Would highly recommend visits to Verona for the day which was very enjoyable and in our option better than Venice.
Would have no hesitation in returning to Laura's apartment and would wholeheartedly recommend it.

A really lovely holiday
We have just returned from a lovely week in Malcesine. Laura's apartment is excellent. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and very well equipped. As in other reviews, Annie greeted us and was very welcoming and provided lots of advice. The wine, snacks and water provided were much appreciated, so thank you Laura.
The property does have a steep drive, but we didn't find this to be a problem and it meant the car was parked out of the sun. We had storms and torrential rain on our first day so it was nice to have somewhere so spacious and comfortable to wait until the weather improved.
Would highly recommend visits to Riva del Garda, Garda and Lazise. We also drove to Verona for the day which was surprisingly easy and very enjoyable.
This was our first holiday in Italy and we loved it, so hope to return very soon.
Would have no hesitation in returning to Laura's apartment and would wholeheartedly recommend it.

Lovely, comfortable apartment
The description of this property is not exaggerated. It is a lovely, comfortable, clean and spacious, well equipped and beautifully furnished apartment in a quiet location away from the main road. The air conditioning is a definite bonus.
The booking process was easy and secure, and Laura was always very prompt in dealing with and responding to my emails and queries. She was also very helpful in arranging taxis for our journeys to and from the airport. Laura was also very quick to refund the damage deposit, contacting me on the day of our departure and arranging for payment into our bank account within a couple of days.
We were met on arrival by Annie, who was lovely - very welcoming and extremely helpful with details about the area and suggestions for restaurants, etc.
Malcesine is a beautiful town, with its fairytale Castle and old, cobbled streets full of shops and restaurants. We would particularly recommend Al Gondoliere, where the food was excellent.
The walk up and down hill to town, the Castle and the Lake was more like 15-20 minutes for us as, unfortunately, my husband had a flare up of a problem with his knees, so anyone with mobility problems should be aware of this. However, this did not detract too much from our experience, and we were able to get taxis if necessary.
We would not hesitate to stay here again and would certainly recommend it.

Lovely Apartment In Great Location
Before arrival, the communication with Laura the owner was excellent - always prompt and answered our questions very effectively.
Annie the housekeeper was very welcoming and helpful when we arrived and passed on some great tips about our stay in Malcesine.
The apartment itself was very spacious considering there were 6 of us, very clean and well furnished with a large sun terrace for outdoor eating. The kitchen area was extremely well equipped and we appreciated the use of both the dishwasher and washing machine during our stay.
We also appreciated that the apartment is in a great location - close to the cable car and less than 10 minutes walk into the centre of the town.
Overall, we had an excellent experience during our stay in beautiful Malcesine - highly recommended!

Excellent accommodation
This is a beautiful apartment in a great location. The outside balconies are spacious and well equipped. Although there are only glimpses of the Lake there are beautiful views of olive trees and the mountains. It is very peaceful yet only less than 10 minutes walk to the centre of Town and the Castle. Inside there is everything you need with 2 excellent bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen. Laura the owner is perfecto deal with - always speedy responses and very quick return of the damage deposit. Annie, the housekeeper is a gem and the best on site person I have ever dealt with. Highly recommended.
