ACCOMODATION
 

The Northern part of Lake Garda is situated just
across the Austrian border in the province of
Trentino and is the destination if you feel like an
active hioliday and want to enjoy nature, culture
and the Italian way of life.

The unique Mediterranean atmosphere, the
impressive lake views and the mild, summery
climate form the basis of many successful
holidays. Owing to the ORA, a wind that starts
every day at the same time, it has been a meeting place for water sports enthusiasts from all over
the world for many years. But the varied and
breathtakingly beautiful mountains around the
Northern bank of Lake Garda beg to be seen and
admired. Forests, glaciers, waterfalls, exotic
plants and idyllic vineyards. Alternating with
picturesque villages, fascinating castles and
ancient country estates. A colourful chain of
unique views and a true paradise for practising
active sports, both in summer and in winter!

Malga Zanga
The Malga Zanga country estate, the homebase
for your holiday, is situated in these natural
surroundings. Where the quality of life is
honoured. Where you can find real quiet. Where
horses graze, a sheep observes you with
amazement and a tired hiker comes to enjoy a
refreshing drink. Villagers and experienced
cyclists also find their way to the country estate,
for a caffè al bar, an aperitivo or pasta al dente.
A country estate in the tradition of an ancient
Malga, with attention to nature, sustainability
and honest produce from the region. With the
fine and totally renovated country house offering
all the mod cons that a contemporary guest might
wish for. With an eye for atmosphere and a feel
for hospitality.

Did you know, by the way, that a Malga was
originally a country estate in the higher regions
where farmers went in summer to graze their
cows? For the simple reason that only there, in
the rocky mountainous landscape that is so
typical of this region, there was still enough
space. Many of these Malghe have meanwhile
been proclaimed protected landscapes, which
are maintained with the aid of the province and
the municipality, because of their natural, cultural
and recreational value.

For gourmets...
A ‘malga’ is also an Italian cheese produced in the mountains with an agreeable, somewhat pungent
taste and a slightly bitter aftertaste.

The mountain Monte Velo
Full of atmosphere and inviting The country estate
is situated on the mountain Monte Velo (1155 meters) and is part of the municipality of Arco,
only 50 kilometers from the opera city Verona.
Arco is a delightful little town, famous for its
magnificent facilities for climbing and hiking.
With intimate little shops, a fine village square,
a splendid botanical garden a stately castle a
various little bars and restaurants. In summer
various free open-air concerts are organized in
Arco and once a year there is a colourful street
festival. In addition, in one of the narrow streets
you will find the best ice cream parlour you could
wish for... scrumptious!

The country house/hotel
This week you are staying at the attractive, totally
renovated 8-bedroom country house at the Malga
Zanga country estate, which is run by its Dutch
owners. The rooms of the country house are

mountains.

The 20,000- m2 country estate offers plenty of
opportunities for an afternoon of lazing about or
enjoying the Italian sunshine. Outside and inside
the country house there are various attractive
seating arrangements you can retire to. For some
time to yourself or together with fellow-travellers
who become friends. Transportation, too, is
perfectly arranged during this week; for all the
trips, there is a shuttle bus at your disposal.

for a successful holiday.
