I personally spent several months in the transformation of the furniture and in the restoration of the furniture and now they are finally ready. Most of the objects contained are the result of my travels and personal creations.

Interaction with guests
If you need any kind of info, I am available to suggest the most interesting places to visit even outside the classic tourist destinations in the area between Verona city, Lake Garda, Valpolicella and Lessinia.

If you are interested in making a visit to my father's museum and beekeeping shown in the video and in the "Les Zed" article, all you have to do is agree on your arrival.
If you want to enjoy Italian or regional cooking lessons, I will put you in touch with my friend chef Cristina.

For water sports such as rafting or kayaking near the Manticus there is a famous canoe club managed by the world champion of descent on the Vladi Panato river.
I also have friends who can take you on horseback excursions to wonderful places.

Beautiful details in this apartments.

We definitely loved staying here. Marcos is a super host, very friendly, with a lot of knowledge about the area, where to go, where to eat like a local and a lot of authentic things in the apartments. Very unique. We appreciate his time and making us feel like home. From there is just a ride for 15 or 20 minutes to go to spectacular places. We went to Lake Garda, and Gardaland Park for our kids and enjoyed very much our stay. Thank you Marcos, see you some day in Puerto Rico.

Vacation in a village

The accommodation was in a small village, which is difficult to reach or leave without a car. So we had to walk 2km to go shopping. Some pictures give hope for a beautiful garden with palm trees, but in reality it is just a driveway. The shower in the upper apartment was broken. Marco was very nice to us during the time, but I can definietly not recommend the accommodation for people without a car. Nevertheless we had our fun.

Schöner und erholsamer Urlaub

Wir hatten beide Wohnungen gemietet; beide sind klimatisiert, was wir sehr genossen haben. Der Vermieter wohnt oben im Haus. Wir haben uns sehr gut verstanden - er ist nett: hilfsbereit zur Stelle, wenn man ihn braucht, ansonsten "unsichtbar" :) Autos können im Carport untergestellt werden; der Garten ist abgeschlossen. Wir würden wieder dort buchen. @Marco: Thanks again for this nice stay in you holiday-home!

En unik bolig

Marcos unikke bolig var perfekt til os, der var to familier. Dejligt at bo i en lille landsby væk fra andre turister (kun den travle vej, som boligen lå lige op af var et lille minus). De mange unikke detaljer i huset var imponerende. Marco var den perfekte vært. Altid parat med råd og vejledning. Vi ville bestemt anbefale at booke her og kommer gerne igen!

Bon rapport qualite-prix

Les 2 appartements sont très confortables (même si une personne doit dormir dans la cuisine!), très propres et joliment aménagés. Tout est compris (draps, serviettes, ménage), ce qui est très appréciable. L'immeuble se trouve au bord de la route, donc relativement bruyant, surtout le matin. La place aménagée à l'extérieur pour manger/barbecue est au même endroit que le parking, mais l'endroit reste sympathique. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas d'accès direct depuis l'appartement, c'est le point qui nous a le plus dérangé. Nous avons passé une semaine très chouette, Marco est disponible et de bon conseil, l'emplacement est pratique (a 20min du lac de garde et de Vérone) et la région magnifique.

Outstanding!

1) The property has two lockable flats on two separate floors with access through one front electronic door both a well furnished and very clean. The garden at the rear has a Bar-B-Que and leads to a river. 2) The location is superb, just outside Verona city, near the airport but out in a quite village with parking. 3) Marcos was outstanding, so supportive and we made friends easily, his local advice and support saved money, aggravation and time. Summary - We cant wait to visit again and enjoy the local hospitality and friendship, don't worry about using this property or Marcos...your in safe hands and you wont be dissapointed.

Sehr schönes Interieur und netter, hilfsbereiter Vermieter

Die beiden Wohnungen sind perfekt und sehr phantasievoll eingerichtet. Der Außenbereich hat etwas enttäuscht. Die Bezeichnung Wald am Fluß ist etwas irreführend. Das Haus liegt nicht in einem Wald. Der Grillplatz bzw. der Garten ist auch nicht wirklich ein Garten - mehr ein Innenhof. Und auf der anderen Seite des Hauses geht leider eine doch recht stark befahrene Straße. Ausgeglichen wird das Ganze aber dann doch durch den kurzen und schönen (aber steilen) Weg zum Fluß und der alleinige Platz am Fluß. Der Vermieter Marco war sehr hilfsbereit und man kann ihn einfach alles zur Umgebung und Freizeitaktivitäten fragen. Er spricht perfekt Englisch.

Wonder Spot

Marco is such a true gem. A wonderfully decorated house, very unique and quirky. Our group arrived for a four nights stay for day trips to wineries, Verona, and Lake Garda. The proximity to the areas best sites is really what makes the place work so well. The river at the bottom of the hill is a nice spot to wake up with your coffee. We didn't do any cooking in the house but that option is certainly there and also a nice little osteria within walking distance. 15 min to Verona and 15 min to the lake. The Valpolicella Superiore region is also no more than 15 min north. Well done Marco!! Bravo!!

Particolare e accogliente

Entrambi gli appartamenti sono esattamente come si vedono dalle foto, caratteristici e ben forniti. Il proprietario é stato molto accogliente con noi e disponibile. Da ritenere in considerazione per le future vacanze!

Schöne,saubere und kreativ eingerichtete ferienwhg. in schöner umgebung.

Wir waren eine Woche in Manticus 1 und 2. Pünktlich bei der Ankunft war Marco, ein sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Vermieter, zur Stelle und hat uns die Wohnungen, den Aussenbereich mit Parkplätzen u den Fluss gezeigt. Die Wohnungen waren sehr sauber u schön eingerichtet. Der Aussenbereich lädt zum grillen und chillen ein. Gelegen in einem ruhigen Dorf nahe dem See und Verona. Wir hatten eine erholsame Zeit und kommen gerne wieder.
