Have you ever dreamt of sleeping on a beautiful boat in the middle of Lake Garda, Italy? If so, La Sirena di Sirmione is perfect for you! This unique Airbnb is only accessible by kayak and comes with a complimentary bottle of wine for you to enjoy while taking in the mesmerizing sunsets and dazzling skies.
Recently listed on Airbnb, this boat can sleep up to four guests. Ana Savu, 28 and Amra Scotolati, 29 were brave enough to book the boat despite its lack of reviews. Ana said, “My friend and I wanted to spend a weekend at Lake Garda, so we had a look on the Airbnb website and decided to give the boat a try. It had zero reviews when we booked it as it was a new listing, so it was definitely a risky decision, but it turned out great.”
The boat features one double bed and two sofas, and a fully equipped kitchen and toilet. There’s no running water or electricity, but the host left clean towels, a power bank to recharge your phone, and a light. The downside? No real shower. Ana explained, “There’s only a water hose to refresh, but it wasn’t too much of a problem for us, as we jumped in the water instead.”
What makes this Airbnb really special is that it’s only accessible by kayak, and is exactly 100 metres away from the shore. The pair stayed from Friday to Sunday, and only paid £140 in total. For Ana and Amra, kayaking to the boat was both a challenge and a funny experience. Ana said, “The journey to the boat was always a challenge, but we got pretty good at it by the end of our stay. I asked him if he had five minutes to make the kayak journey with me and show me properly around the boat, and I’m so happy he did because I don’t know how we would have managed otherwise.”
Now, the boat-hotel has eight reviews on AirBnb and an average rating of 4.25 stars. Most guests loved their experience, but warned that you should stay sober at night lest you lose your way. One guest was dismayed as there was a storm during their stay, and had an issue with the inflatable boat.
If you’re looking for a unique, inexpensive getaway in Italy, this is the perfect option. Just be prepared to master the waves!
