After eleven years of working in Wales, Enrico and Lael returned to Italy, eager to reconnect with their Italian friends and family. However, wanting to continue meeting new people, they decided to rent out a room in their home, offering guests the chance to experience the warmth and charm of an authentic Italian household. Both passionate hikers, they’ve explored several Camino de Santiago routes and other historic trails in Portugal. During these journeys, they stayed in private homes and they found these experiences deeply enriching. Inspired by this, Enrico and Lael now welcome travelers to Marniga on Lake Garda, eager to share the same heartfelt hospitality they once enjoyed.

The rental offers a spacious double room, perfect for a comfortable stay. The room comes with air conditioning for your comfort and a private bathroom (not ensuite). You'll also have access to a well-equipped kitchen and a large, sunny terrace — both shared with us, the homeowners, who live on the property. We enjoy sharing our space with guests and creating a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. A private garage space is available for your convenience. Please note, we do not host children (including babies) or pets. We look forward to welcoming you into our shared home!

Enrico and Lael’s home is nestled in the heart of Marniga, a charming little village just a stone’s throw from the shores of Lake Garda. The village is peaceful, with a little square and traditional Italian houses. It offers easy access to the lakeside walk, a beautiful 20 km stretch that takes you past pebble beaches, cozy cafés, vibrant restaurants, and picturesque villages. It’s the perfect spot for a long walk or bike ride, with stunning views of the lake at every turn. Directly in front of their home is a family-run restaurant, a local gem where the delicious smell of pizza and freshly made pasta fills the air. Here, you can enjoy traditional Italian dishes at a reasonable price, making it a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Enrico's parents live just a short distance away and are often seen relaxing in their garden, reading or enjoying the peaceful surroundings. It’s a simple, welcoming life in Marniga, and Enrico and Lael love sharing it with guests who come to experience the true essence of Italian living. Whether you’re hiking around Monte Baldo, swimming in the clear lake waters, walking along the lakeside or savoring a meal at the family restaurant, it’s clear that life in this tiny village is full of warmth, connection, and beauty.
