The town of Gargnano, with a ferryboat port and marina, is about 300m down the tiny access road. A city steeped in history and charm, Gargnano started as a monastery in the 1200s, where the monks grew lemons. And from here begins the long and fascinating history of the limonaie of Gargnano. The town blossomed and grew, lemons its principle industry, and it was completely hedged in by mountains and lakes, isolated with access only from the lake until the 1930s when the lakeside highway was built. As a result Gargnano has developed and maintained an extraordinary and unique local flavour and charm. The town has a plethora of quaint small local shops and restaurants. Though only a small village, Gargnano boasts not one, but two Michelin star restaurants: Villa Feltrinelli and Tartugha. And for less formal nights out, there are a number of excellent restaurants and pizzerias, some right on the waterfront with lakeside tables.Full hands-on luxury service, including professional cleaning, hotel quality linens & towels and concierge service is provided by Holiday-Garda. All of our villas are stocked with starting supply of toilet paper, kitchen paper, napkins, coffee, tea, sugar, salt, and pepper.

Summary: The setting in the old limonea is exquisite, the view extraordinary. Novella answered all of my sometimes minor questions immediately and was very helpful with restaurant reservations. Gargnano is a perfect little town and we fell in love with it and its friendly people and good restaurants. While we loved the villa, the bedrooms were small, and basic, and the many level changes were sometimes difficult to deal with. I do not remember the spiral stairs being mentioned in the description. Had we been 7 people, as we originally booked, rather than the 5 we ended up with, we would have felt really cramped. So, perhaps a more complete description would let people know the layout better.
