The House with the Lake View

The real state agency is now putting this house, that we are in until end of this May, as For Rent. :( And today a German couple came with the agent to take a look of the house and I think they like it. They like it so much because of the view of the lake and of the garden. And they also like it because of the quite neighborhood. It's a private area so nobody could come in except for the homeowners. They asked us how much we were paying for the electricity, water and gas every month and we told them that more or less we paid €350 a month and they think that it's ok. I think they will negotiate now about the house rental which we paid €1,200 a month. Hhhmmm, I don't know if they could get this house lesser than that because we also tried to asked the owner before if they will lower the rental to €1,000 a month but he only told us that if we don't want to pay that price then we could go and find another one...Mean huh. We like it so much and we don't want to live in an appartment so we ended up paying that price. And now, in just less than a couple of weeks we will live and I'm really sad to think about it. This place have an amazing view and so quite and peaceful and I'm really going to miss the House with the Lake View. But on the other hand, starting next month we wont pay any rental anymore and that's a lot of savings for us. We will have our own house back, which is amazing, and we are already excited to live there. ;)

Lake Garda

Lake Garda is one of the major tourists distination here in Italy, including a number of exclusive hotels and resorts along its shore. It is located in Northern Italy, about half-way between Venice and Milan. The lake and its shoreline are divided between the provinces of Verona (south-east),Brescia (sout-west) and Trento (north).
This is the sky-view of the lake (photo from Wikipedia)


The previous photos I've shared in my entry "Cruisin' Around Around Lake Garda" was taken at Malcesine which is part of Verona the south-east of the lake. Now I will share photos of the south-west part of the lake particularly in Desenzano del Garda in Brescia. This is a much bigger town than Malcesine and much more tourists and locals come here. There are a lot of fun things to do here too. Like:
You could just take a walk at its shoreline with your friends, your sweetheart or even just with your dog.

Or enjoy a ride with the Pedal Boats.


Or have a picnic at the shoreline and enjoy the scenery


or rent a motor boat and make a tour around the lake
And also, take a shopping for branded clothes at the shopping area at the center of the town. Or just take some coffe or icecreams at the bars located around the lake. See, that's why I like this place so much. You could just enjoy whatever you want to do and of course, it's near where I live. So, it's really an advantage for me :))
