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.

Hi Henry, thanks for your feedback which is always constructive. However, I wanted to let you know that the shower was not broken, but probably during cleaning it simply came off the track and if you told me I would fix it in 2 seconds. In fact, I'm writing this response 1 year later and many guests have come and washed without any problems. When you booked you were very enthusiastic and you wrote to me, we immediately fell in love and the location of the house is perfect for us, given that we arrive by train and are connected by public transport" and so I'm sorry that in the late afternoon upon your arrival, you had walked to get to the supermarket But it is equally true that I immediately pointed out to you that there are only 8 trips to Verona and Bussolengo as here we are in a small country village and the buses are not as frequent as in the city, even though the stop is in front of the house. and in 20 minutes in the center of Verona and first stops at the central train and bus station where it is possible to reach any location. And this is why, having traveled the world non-stop until I was 33 when cell phones and multimedia didn't yet exist, as a boomer I can only advise you to organize yourself better and taking into account that there are those who arrive from Germany by bike connected to the cycle path of Sole or via Fiume from Bolzano with canoes and sup. I'm also sorry that you had imagined a beautiful garden with palm trees, but in reality that is a simple vegetable garden with aromatic herbs and it is a small corner of the summer area where there is also the barbecue that you were looking for so much and that you were the first to use in the new location . I hope you enjoyed it. However, I consider my real garden to be the forest and the riverbank. Thanks for the feedback and I will soon try to draw a plan of the summer area also because in the meantime I have almost finished designing it with an exotic tropical setup ideal for having barbecue parties with friends and so I am happy that in the end you had fun and this makes me It's very nice because it fits into the Manticus philosophy. Hello and thanks

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!

Vielen Dank Heidemarie, ich freue mich, dass Sie am 23. August einen schönen und erholsamen Urlaub hatten. Sie waren nette und freundliche Gäste und es war eine wahre Freude, Sie bei uns zu bewirten, und wenn Sie diesen Sommer 2024 wiederkommen, gebe ich bekannt, dass der Sommerbereich von Der Innenhof wird im exotisch-tropischen Stil mit Brandungseinsätzen und VWT1 gestaltet, idealer Raum zum Grillen und Feiern mit Freunden. Danke von ganzem Herzen. Marco

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.

merci d'être les invités du Manticus et merci pour les commentaires. Il faut savoir qu'un an plus tard la zone d'été est en train d'être complétée et recréée dans un environnement aux meubles en bambou et au style exotique. La cour et le parking seront également séparés. De plus, l'accès direct sera bientôt terminé et bientôt il sera possible de passer du jardin à la maison et un musée d'objets que j'ai récupérés du monde entier sera ouvert aux visiteurs. Merci encore pour tout.

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.

Thanks Peter for choosing the Manticus and for the compliments to the apartments. I am sorry, however, that the outdoor area has been disappointing for you, although for me the greatest satisfaction is that of being able to live in a wild place in close contact with Nature, which I have been taking care of for years and where I spend almost everything my spare time. I'm sorry then that you understood that the house is immersed in the woods, but checking from the beginning the announcement says exactly "the house overlooks the forest by the river" and not that the house is in a forest, but in the translation in German perhaps it turns out differently. It 'then the first time someone tells me that the outdoor space is a courtyard and not a garden, perhaps because where there is a table, parking and barbecue there is no grass on the ground. However, this does not mean that the rest is not a garden because there are flowers, palm trees, an herb garden, a bamboo forest and a terrace overlooking the river surrounded by a forest of acacias, elderberries and hazelnuts. But I keep in mind your feedback that you say misleading and for future guests I correct in the title that in addition to the woods and the garden, there is also a courtyard. But above all I am sorry that you did not appreciate the joy of each animal's outdoor space, including my dog, since you arrived without warning me that you brought your poor old dog with you, despite the house rules they clearly speak of admission at the request of dogs small in size and short-haired, while your dog had long, tired and unkempt hair that he left in every corner of the house, the stairs and the garden and that the cleaning lady still swears when I remind her. However, it is equally true that if in the future I have another case in which a dog is presented to me at check-in without first being notified, unfortunately I will no longer accept it thanks to your experience. So I hope that at least the dog has appreciated and been able to enjoy the forest and sand by the river, a place that usually those who visit it consider it as a paradise of local fauna and flora and not by chance I am presenting a project to the European community for constitute a wild natural park of the Adige River. Thanks also for sharing the wine with me at the tavern and I hope that next time you will be able to find a different place more suited to your needs. ciao Marco

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!!
