Appartamenti Casa Emma

Apartment in Ponte Caffaro-Bagolino in the city center

Our property

Casa Emma Apartments originate from a family story deeply connected to Ponte Caffaro and Lake Idro. In the early 1960s, Mario and Emma began constructing the building that still houses their family and guests today. Initially, part of the house was used as a residence, while other areas hosted a printing business, which was later moved to Ponte Caffaro's industrial zone in the following years. The building was gradually renovated over time, preserving the memory of its beginnings. In 2012, the family opened the B&B “La Vecchia Tipografia” on the upper floor, a name chosen specifically to honor the previous printing activity. Between 2015 and 2016, they developed the ground floor spaces, continuing a hospitality project that now includes Casa Emma and Casa Mario. The apartments are located in a quiet area of the village, set back from the main road and just a short walk from the shores of Lake Idro. Family management, private living spaces, and proximity to nature make these accommodations ideal for couples, families, and groups of friends seeking the freedom to organize their days around the lake, hiking, and sports activities. Casa Emma offers about 60 square meters of space and can accommodate up to six guests. It features a double bedroom, a second room with bunk beds, and a living area with a sofa bed, kitchen, and dining space. The balcony and private garden with a barbecue provide pleasant outdoor moments, while the independent entrance ensures privacy and autonomy throughout the stay. Casa Mario, roughly 50 square meters, is situated entirely on the ground floor and is barrier-free. Designed to host up to four people, it includes a double bedroom and a living area with a sofa bed, kitchen, and lounge. From here, guests can access a private outdoor area furnished with a table and equipped with a barbecue, perfect for outdoor dining during the warmer months. Both accommodations come with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and private parking. Guests traveling by bicycle or motorcycle can also use a dedicated garage, a convenient feature especially appreciated by two-wheel enthusiasts wishing to explore Lake Idro and the surrounding areas. The stay is arranged on a self-catering basis, allowing guests to prepare breakfast independently in their own kitchen. Mornings can be enjoyed leisurely with a coffee and breakfast in the private outdoor spaces; nearby shops and bakeries offer fresh products daily to suit individual tastes. Guests are welcomed by Gianmario and his family, who carry on this long tradition of home and hospitality with care and attentiveness. Their knowledge of the area enables them to recommend beaches, cycling paths, walks, outdoor activities, and nearby villages to visit, while also giving guests the full freedom and independence of an apartment stay.

Area city center

Ponte Caffaro is a peaceful spot located on the northern shore of Lake Idro, right at the border between Lombardy and Trentino, in an area where the lake scenery blends with the mountains of the Giudicarie Valleys. It is an ideal destination for those seeking a nature-filled holiday, away from crowded resorts, while still enjoying the chance to engage in sports, explore charming villages, and venture out to discover the surrounding valleys. Lake Idro is the main feature of the landscape. Its waters, framed by lush hills and rocky mountain faces, invite visitors to spend their days on beaches, stroll along the shores, and take part in water activities. During the warmer months, you can enjoy sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, and other lake experiences, balancing active sports with moments of peaceful relaxation by the water. Cycling and mountain biking enthusiasts also have plenty of options. From Ponte Caffaro, you can follow routes along the lake or tackle more challenging trails leading into the nearby mountains and valleys. The diverse terrain offers choices ranging from gentle, scenic rides to more demanding hikes with elevation gains, making the area appealing for both families and sports lovers. For those who prefer walking, there are numerous paths, forests, and lookout points from which to admire Lake Idro from above. Just a few kilometers away, you can find varied alpine environments, small villages, and landscapes that still retain an authentic and largely unspoiled character. The region also boasts fascinating historical sites. Not far from here is the Rocca d’Anfo, an impressive fortified complex built on the slopes of a mountain overlooking the lake. Meanwhile, Bagolino preserves a charming medieval historic center, with narrow streets, closely packed houses, and ancient traditions. The town is also famous for its renowned Bagolino Carnival and for Bagòss, a traditional local cheese. Ponte Caffaro’s location also makes it easy to explore different areas during the same trip. To the north lie the Giudicarie Valleys and Trentino, with numerous villages, lakes, and mountain trails; heading south, you can discover other parts of Lake Idro and continue towards Lake Garda. Casa Emma and Casa Mario are situated just steps from the lake’s edge in a quiet area set back from the main road. This convenient location allows you to enjoy Ponte Caffaro on foot while serving as a strategic base for days spent at the lake, hiking, cycling routes, and visits to the local villages.
