We are just home from a two week self catering holiday at this destination and we had a wonderful time. We arrived in the dead of night having flown into Bergamo Airport and there was no organised transfer so a car was essential. We did not allow our initial impressions to taint our experience, however when arriving at 2am it would have been nice not to have had to make our own bed. The resort was very well maintained, not a spot of litter in sight, we were encouraged to recycle and the bins were emptied very regularly - during our stay there was no evidence of the bins becoming overfull. Dogs were allowed on site and clearly the owners were very good at cleaning up after their pets (with only one evidence of a missed 'poo lift' observed). The weather wasn't brilliant during our stay, so we didn't stay around the pool very much, however the pool areas were very clean and well maintained Wifi is not available in the apartments and access to it was in the public areas - we worked around this. Towels and bedlinen change were on request which, given that we were staying two weeks, we felt was rather disappointing. It was changed upon a second request however we were just left with the bedlinen to make our own bed - we were told at the outset this was a 2 star facility and I suppose that is what makes it so. There was no room cleaning service except as a paid-for extra (upon request) which again we found a little disappointing especially as we were staying two weeks. The apartment was clean, the bed was comfortable, the sofa not so comfortable, there was a table and two plastic chairs for use on the terrace, there was an adequate supply of cutlery, crockery, pots and pans. The resort was quiet. The TV provided a variety of English speaking channels for those that are hooked on news bulletins! The biggest disappointment was the lack of an on-site mini market. The literature states there is a mini market but it seems that this is for online orders but in any event it was closed during our stay. The supermarket was about 10minutes drive away, the one we found was excellent with a great range of produce however it would have been lovely to be able to buy fresh bread, milk and water with ease on site. We could not praise the shuttle service into town, highly enough. This was a regular hourly service between 9am and midday, resumed at 4pm until 6 and then again from 8pm until 11pm. We used this almost every evening to explore the town's restaurants allowing us to enjoy the local wine! On request the driver either took you up to the station or dropped you at a nearby corner thus making trips by train very do-able! Peschiera itself is a nice location allowing easy access to both the Western and Eastern shores of Lake Garda. Also 90 minutes takes you by train to Milan and in the opposite direction there is a regular train service to Verona and Venice. The regional Trenord service seems to be very well priced.
