10.0 / 10.0
We had a great time at this vacation rental. It was easy to get to and visit many of the beautiful villages in Lago di Garda (Lazise, Sirmione, Bordalino, Salo). Also easy to visit Verona from here and we hired a boat one day to drive us around and swim in the lake. The house itself is quite large, with big bedrooms and bathrooms. The beds are comfortable. The grounds are gorgeous and large with a view of the Torre di San Martino di Battaglia which is stunning. The Tower itself is a fun outing and very close. We cooked for a few nights and also went to a few agriturismos near the villa which were very good. The property's caretakers Manu and Helena (I hope I got the names right) were very helpful and available via WhatsApp to answer any questions or provide recommendations. I must say, the best part is the beautiful large swimming pool! It was quite hot while we were there (there is AC that works well) and the kids could not stay out of the pool. All in all, I highly recommend this rental for a great family vacation!

We rented this house for a week, 10 adults and two small children. The garden is amazing, the pool is fantastic and the house is in walking distance to two restaurants. The pool was a favorite, and had a shallow (110cm) and deep (220cm) end. The house itself is old and very traditional, and has newly upgraded doors and windows. The only concern we had was the fact that there is no air conditioning, but as other guests have pointed out, there are bug nets in front of the windows which lets you have them open by night, as well as fans throughout every room. If you are not unlucky and find yourself in a heat wave, you should be more than fine We had a great time and could have asked for a more Italian experience. Hope to be back!

1. Fantastic location - surrounded by beautiful vineyards and with two excellent quality restaurants on the doorstep - an agriturismo that cooks all the food they grow and then a classy restaurant next to the iconic tower. Superb meals and hospitality at both. There is a simple supermarket about 2 minute drive away and then a Conad megastore with in-house coffeeshop, bakery and deli about 13 min drive. There is a great bakery in Pozzolengo about 5 minute drive away too. 2. Beautiful gardens and top notch swimming pool meant relaxing out the house was always enjoyable. The kitchen was well stocked with quality cookware which meant we could have feasts in the kitchen or out in the garden. 3. 4 bathrooms (if you include the poolhouse) so no queuing in the mornings. 4. Massive bedrooms. I think these will feel light and airy most of the time but we were unlucky to be there in the 2023 heatwave where it was 28 degrees at night. Fans were supplied for every room and every room has mosquito nets to allow air to circulate through the house. The stone walls also keep the house from overheating. I think if it was 5 degrees cooler we would have been fine without the fans but we REALLY need them - there is no aircon. 5. Wifi is excellent quality and they have routers all over the property so the kids could watch videos in their bedrooms or instagram from the pool. Great coverage throughout. 6. Enough parking space for many cars (we only had 1). Electric gates with two keys

Beautiful house & pool - perfect for a holiday week with friends
What a gem!! We spent a wonderful week in this beautiful house (3 families - 6 adults & 4 children aged 6 - 15) and really enjoyed the pool, outdoor seating areas and extensive garden. The bedrooms were all very spacy and very comfortable, with good mattresses and pillows. The pool was huge and there were enough sun loungers for everyone, the pool house had a shower & WC which was very useful. We loved the outdoor pergola for meals and spending time with one another - it was a perfect spot for socialising. Besides being a really nice place to sit and catch the evening sun, the front terrace area was a great space for our morning fitness sessions :) The Property Manager, Diego, was very responsive and helpful and even arranged a cook for 3 evenings during our stay. We can^t recommend Liliana's cooking enough - it was super fresh and very Italian!!! Back home now, we miss you Liliana!! The property is about 1 km off the motorway exit, set amongst the vineyards with a few restaurants within walking distance. Sirmione was a 10 minute drive away, as was a big supermarket and it was very easy to get to other parts of Lake Garda. The location was just perfect as we really enjoyed the peaceful setting and didn't have to worry about any noise that we made around the pool. We will definitely be back one day and are for sure going to recommend the house to our friends. Thank you - we had a lovely holiday at Cascina Rospus!!

We had a lovely stay with our family (9 adults, a baby and a 5 year old who's birthday we celebrated there. Enough bathrooms, more than enough space and a very big kitchen with everything you might need. Clean and maintained well. In the heat of summer are the bedrooms a bit warm. Swimmingpool a real gem. Maybe the swings in the garden could be fixed? We totally recommend and would surely go back.

Large spacious villa with pool, in a rural location but convenient to the motorway and Lake Garda
Large spacious villa with pool, in a rural location but convenient to the motorway and Lake Garda
The villa is a beautiful old farmhouse located in the area of an historic battlefield near the village of San Martino, just south of Lake Garda. The property description is accurate. The villa itself has 5 large bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and was ideal for our party of 2 families (4 adults and 6 children), having plenty of room for us all. Unfortunately the bedrooms do not have air conditioning and although 4 of the rooms had fans they were rather warm at night. It has a large kitchen well equipped with pots and pans, crockery etc and all the usual appliances. There is a huge dining room. Outside the villa is set in spacious gardens and has a large pool with diving board which was a great size and depth. There is a lovely seating area outside under a pergola with a vine growing over it. Lovely Charlie the cat who belongs to the owner stays if the guests are happy for him to and we loved him. The villa is managed by Diego who was extremely helpful during our stay. He gave us lots of good advice about the area and when we had a problem getting Sky TV to work he came out straight away to try and sort it. As it couldn't be sorted during our stay he found a solution so that the children could watch films in the evening. Although the villa is rural it is less than 5 minutes drive from the motorway so has good links for travelling to Venice or Verona. Verona is about 30 minute drive away and Venice about 1.5 hours away although we went by train from Desezano del Garda railway station. Lake Garda itself and the resorts of Sirmione and Desanzano del Garda are a short drive away and all worth a visit. There is a large supermarket about 10 minutes drive away. The villa is surrounded by vineyards and there is a very good Winery right next door where wine tasting can be carried out and some very good local wine purchased. There are several other Winerys in the area. Within walking distance of the villa there are 3 local restaurants, one at the end of the drive which was very typically Italian which we visited and one a short walk up the road near the San Martino Tower ( a memorial tower for the battlefield) which was excellent. The San Martino Tower is also definitely worth a visit and there is a great view of the lake from the top. So to summarise, this is a great villa in a beautiful location, with great road links to local towns and Lake Garda and especially ideal for a large group or several families. Would definitely recommend it to friends.
