Summer Holiday at Lake Garda - The accommodation

So we had a short (week) break en famille near Lake Garda. We chose it cos it was within a reasonable drive from home. Having said that, we were a little bit challenged, as we already live in a villa near a Lake, so weren't convinced that it actually made sense. Anyway we're really glad we went as we had a fab time. The accommodation was a 2 bed apartment in a converted part of an old mansion estate. Very nice. It has a swimming pool, and given it was 32 degrees + everyday, we needed the pool. Bella doesn't go swimming very often but by the end of the week she could get around on her own (aided by armbands and a rubber-ring)





We met another English family there, who had 3 girls, the youngest of which, Eliza, was Bella's age and they quickly became best friends.



Sebastian still doing commando style crawling, did the odd press-up and all fours along the way, especially when he knew there was a reward at the end.





There was a restaurant across the golf-course that we went to a numerous occasions when the idea of self-catering didn't appeal. Sebby would sleep in the stroller, Bella loved the late nights, although for some rather annoying reason they still all awoke at the break of dawn...
