Villa Angelica

One of the most beautiful spots on Lake Garda. A delightful owner, a property with a rich history, and a charming, well-kept garden. Wonderful dogs. We will definitely be back. It is the best place we have visited among the Italian lakes—and we have been to many. Best regards to Rafael – Ewa and friends.

Villa Angelica was the perfect place for our family of four. It has an excellent, peaceful location and a beautiful, lush garden with plenty of space for children to play and explore. There were also plenty of activities to keep the children entertained. We made great use of the swimming pool, and the water was pleasantly warm. The small sauna was wonderful on cooler evenings, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our lovely apartment had air conditioning, making it very comfortable both for sleeping and relaxing. The city bikes made it easy to get into town. Although the access road to the main parking area was quite narrow, our wonderful host, Rafael, arranged an easier parking space for us on a nearby grassy area. The villa’s small shop was very handy for drinks and other little essentials. The water dispenser offering free still and sparkling drinking water was also a very welcome extra. The only small improvement we could suggest would be a drying rack for towels. We are extremely grateful for such a wonderful holiday and hope to return one day to see Rafael again and enjoy the unique atmosphere of Villa Angelica, nestled near Riva del Garda.

Narrow driveway to the basic parking place. (Easier parking is also available).

Sauna and swimming pool was perfect on bad weather ❤️

The garden is beautiful as in the pictures. It’s about 15 minutes walk to the center, but you have to climb a bit on your way back. There are free bicycles to use.

We can only speak for the apartment Letizia, which is situated in a smaller house behind the beautiful main building. It’s on the northern side in the shade and close to a waterfall and river. There is a tiny terrace with views on the parking lot and the mountains behind. The main problem was the humidity and moldy smell inside the apartment, on the furniture and inside the wardrobe. Although we kept the windows open , we could never get rid of this smell. The furniture and the decoration is very basic. The queen size bed is fine, but the sleeping sofa is rather uncomfortable. There is also nothing to lean on on the sofa. As it’s on the countryside, we had quite some problems with mice keeping us awake at night and eating our food. The kind landlord tried to help us to get rid of the mice, but without success. Be aware that some commodities such as the use of the washing machine is not included, although mentioned by booking. All in all we were quite disappointed, our apartment was clearly not worth the very high price tag. Compared to other apartments we have rented in this region before, it was a real deception.
