Ulf moved to Italy in 2011 and thoroughly enjoys his role as a resort manager in Peschiera. The most rewarding part of the job for Ulf is when people speak to him at the end of their holiday and thank him for helping to make their holiday so special, Ulf says "that means the world to me". Ulf goes on to say it’s the little extras that help people enjoy their holidays such as telling them to drop into "Torta della nonna" for an Italian pastry, it’s a must." His key tip for holidays in Lake Garda is to try and see as many of the towns and villages as possible as each one exudes a unique atmosphere.

As one of Topflight’s newest resort managers Debbie has enjoyed the lifestyle on Lake Garda for 5 years. Living in Malcesine she looks after the resorts of Malcesine, Riva and Torbole. She says "although I love all 3 resorts my heart lies in Malcesine. There are many little spots which I love - the views from the restaurants at 'Porto Vecchio' and the quaintness of the little Piazza Cavour. There's a little grassy area called Lido Sopri which is great for sunbathing and a dip in the lake with that view - perfect!" Her all-time favourite excursion is Bolzano and Renon and she says her guests who take this excursion "finish their holiday with a big smile"
