Since the weather currently really lets us down in Germany, Mr C and I escaped to Lake Garda, Italy for a long weekend. Dolce far niente – enjoying a glass of red wine, excellent food, sightseeing to Verona, Garda and Bardolino and a little bit of shopping.
Temperatures were still chilly but we had lovely sunshine and really made the most of our stay.
If you ever have a chance to visit the area (luckily only a 4 hrs drive from Bavaria) I highly recommend Residence Ca‘ Del Lago in Torri del Benaco near Garda.
Beautiful, cosy and super clean apartments, most helpful staff (a special thanks to Sarah for all her personal recommendations), excellent breakfast, secure car park, sauna and outdoor pool.
Please excuse the quality of the photos, I only took my small camera!
Das Wetter hier in Bayern ist alles andere als frühlingshaft, sodass Mr C und ich für ein langes Wochenende an den Gardasee gefahren sind. Einfach ausspannen, ein Glas Valpolicella und ausgezeichnetes Essen genießen, Abstecher nach Verona, Garda und Bardolino und ein bisschen shoppen.
Wirklich empfehlen kann ich das kleine, familiäre Hotel Residence Ca‘ Del Lago in Torri del Benaco am Ostufer, nur 5km nordwestlich von Garda.
Wunderschöne, gemütliche Zimmer, blitzsauber, extrem freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal (herzlichen Dank für alle Geheimtipps, liebe Sarah!), ausgezeichnetes Frühstück, Tiefgarage – die etwas an Fahrkünsten erfordert 😉 sowie eine Sauna und im Sommer ein schöner Pool.
Sorry für die Qualität meiner Fotos, aber ich hatte nur meine kleine Kamera mitgenommen.

Wunderschöne Bilder, Annette! Wie schön, dem leider immer wieder kehrenden (und heuer besonders hartnäckigen) Winter zu entfliehen. Das Wochenende war sicher Balsam für die Seele! Jedenfalls strahlst Du in Deinem tollen Outfit mit der Sonne und der wunderschönen Gegend um die Wette 🙂 … LG aus Wien, Katja

P.S. Looking at the dish with shrimp and mussels has made me super hungry!
Alexandra, yes it is!
We enjoyed that lunch outside – had to… even wearing coats and jackets 😉

Trotz deiner „kleinen“ Kamera… super-super-schöne Bilder.
Du siehst toll aus!! Schön gestylt aber auch sehr enspannt, man sieht dir an, dass es dir gut geht.
Ich finde die Ohrringe süß.

Hach *schwärm*, … wunderschöne Bilder, da fängt man gleich zu träumen an, besonders wenn man wie ich in den Bergen wohnt und hier noch Ski-Saison mit ganz viel Schnee ist. Aber der nächste Gardasee-Urlaub steht auch vor der Tür und die Fotos verstärken noch die Vorfreude.
Ein sehr schönes und elegantes Outfit und auch ein sehr schöner Blog, gefällt mir sehr!
