Marvelous
Wonderfully located at the lake front, at 800m from Salo centre only. House with lots of character and stunning lake view from terraces and garden. The adjacent SS45bis may be a bit noisy, but is not really disturbing, on the contrary, it allows you to move around quickly (traffic permitted). The kitchen is rather smallish, but is guarantee for pleasant bustle. Comfortable bedrooms equipped with fans. Welcoming and helpful landlady.

A slice of heaven
Our family of 10 just had a wonderful stay at Villa Angela. Irene went over and above to help us have a memorable time in Italy. Irene was available for any planning before our trip and was available while we stayed in her home. Plenty of comfortable beds, clean house beautiful furnishings. We had everything we needed!! Thank you Irene for allowing our family to make memories at your Villa.

Traumhafte Lage am See
Ein wunderbares Haus, um mit der Familie seinen Urlaub zu verbringen. Wir waren 11 Personen und ein Kleinkind. Wir hatten jeder ein eigenes Zimmer. Das traumhafte war, dass wir gemeinsam den Garten genutzt haben. Ball Spiele relaxen Kajak fahren Lesen. Das Haus ist eine wunderschöne italienische Villa, die etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist. Es gibt drei Bäder, aber man kann nur eine Dusche wirklich nutzten. Waschbecken und Toilletten funktionieren alle drei. Für uns als Familie war es ok, aber bei Freunden ist es zu wenig. Auch ist die Küche sehr klein, was ja früher so üblich war, wir kochen immer sehr gerne zusammen, das war aber eine Herausforderung. Wir würden wieder kommen. Im Sommer, wenn man immer draußen sein kann ist es ein Traum

Dearest Vineta, it was a pleasure to have you! Also I loved to have here three dogs to sich gefülen in the garden. Dogs appreciate it a lot too 😉 Unfortunately a pipe broke underneath the tub in one bathroom. In this very moment the bathroom is being demolished to be then completely redone. I apologise for the inconvenience and to make up for it I'll get you a special deal for next time, you have my phone number so just contact me directly. Thanks again, ciao! Irene UPDATE: By December 2022 the malfunctioning bathroom has been completely redone and we have three fully functional new bathrooms.

A perfect 10 days
From the moment we booked and arrived, Irene couldn't have even more helpful and made us feel very welcome. Having the lake as your pool was incredible, and suited us all, especially with the paddleboards. The beds were all really comfortable, which made for great nights sleep. Lastly, Salo is beautiful and only a 12 min walk away, expecially if you aren't having a BBQ, and you want a meal out. There are also some lovely shops. We easily used public transport to get to both Verona and Venice, and we can highly recommend going to Sirmione. We will be back. Ciao😁 x

Problems at the house
One of the three bathrooms was not fully funcational. We experienced ants in the kitchen and in bedrooms. Door fell off one of the closets in the bedroom. Grounds were constantly being worked on during our stay - this should have been completed before our arrival. Wi-Fi constantly dropped connection. Host was very responsive in the beginning but not during the whole stay

Dear Tom, thank you for your review. I am really sorry you experienced some discomforts during your stay. The tub in the 3rd bathroom couldn't be used as the pipe underneath had broken, and there is no way to fix it but having the entire piping redone. We already have arranged everything to have the bathroom entirely renovated at the end of the season, as we can't do it now with guests in the house. All what was not functioning though was the tub, and there are other two fully functioning bathrooms in the house. As per the yard work, a huge garden like ours requires constant attention (and is home to a little ants). I am sorry if my presence working in the background has upset you. In the description I wrote exactly that you should expect seeing me working in the garden. I was there only for a couple of days though, after which I had to leave you alone in the property for the rest of your stay. I was 80km away for work, and unfortunately couldn't come fix the door on your closet, neither the router. I am glad you decided to give us three stars anyways, and if you came back I'd be happy to offer you a special price to make up for the problems you encountered (which will be fixed for next season!). Ciao, Irene UPDATE: By December 2022 the malfunctioning bathroom has been completely redone and we have three fully functional new bathrooms.

Family Holiday in Salo
I have just spent a week at Villa Angela with three generations of my family. The property has a rustic look and feel, well appointed and has lakeside access that enabled safe swimming directly from garden. It was a 15 min walk into town and approx 10 minute walk to the nearest supermarket. It has very spacious bed rooms and was ideal for our party of two couples and two single adults. Although it certainly could accommodate more. Irene is an excellent host, communicating well in advance of our visit and, if required during our stay. We arrived quite slightly earlier than the check in time but Irene made every effort to have the property available as soon as we arrived. The only downside, was this property is located on quite a busy road so not so good for those who are sensitive to traffic noise. Saying that, as Villa Angela has been in Irene’s family for four generations I suspect the house was there before the road was and the proximity to the lake and fantastic views certainly outweighs the road noise.

Lage perfekt, dennoch viel Luft nach oben
Unsere Gastgeberin war sehr nett, und die Schlüsselübergabe und die Kommunikation vor Ort war sehr gut. Alles war sauber und ordentlich. Aber es ist nicht in Ordnung, wenn man am Tag der Ankunft erfährt, dass es zwar 3 Bäder gibt, aber in dem einen weder das Duschen noch das Baden möglich ist. Die Wasserhähne der eingebauten Badewanne waren abmontiert. Der Schaden soll wohl demnächst behoben werden. So etwas muss im Vorfeld kommuniziert werden. Wir waren 11 Personen und haben deshalb bewusst nach einer Unterkunft mit 3 Bädern gesucht. Dadurch, dass jetzt nur 2 Duschmöglichkeiten gab, war der Aufenthalt etwas kompliziert. Dass man zu dem einen Bad nur über die Außentreppe kam, war zwar etwas nervig, aber durchaus handlebar. Was sehr gestört hat: Die Türen der einzelnen Zimmer ließen sich nicht schließen. Man konnte sie quasi nur anlehnen und jeder, der vorbei lief, konnte ins Zimmer schauen. Das war unangenehm, weil dadurch innerhalb der Zimmer nicht wirklich eine Privatsphäre möglich war. Die Terrassen-Loungemöbel, die auf den Bildern zu sehen sind, waren leider nicht vorhanden. Das war schade. Das Grundstück und die Lage selbst sind ein Traum. Die große Treppe führt auf eine große Rasenfläche und zu einem schönen Sitzplatz direkt am See. Man hat auch einen privaten Zugang zum See, herrlich. Es hat allerdings gestört, dass unsere Gastgeberin und noch eine Frau öfter im Garten und/oder auf der Terrasse auftauchten. Dadurch fühlten wir uns beobachtet. Wir waren davon ausgegangen, dass wir ein ganzes Haus mit Garten mieten, das in der von uns gebuchten Zeit auch NUR UNS ALLEINE zur Verfügung steht. Aber so etwas muss man wohl vorher erst abklären.

Dearest Silke, thank you for your review. Everyday I work to make Villa Angela better and better, and therefore I appreciate you having pointed out the problems you encountered. This is not a modern house, but a historical mansion furnished with antiques that needs continuous restoration. The chairs that weren't on your balcony were being restored (by the same woman you saw on the premises). The doors will be fixed too, in time. Little by little. Viel Luft nach oben. As you can read in the host description, it says I live on site, in a separate portion of the property, as I am the gardener and the caretaker. This is also stated on the lease agreement you accepted via VRBO. Other than seeing me working in the garden, my guests don't share the place with anybody else, as the property is rented entirely. A villa like this needs work to be done every day, and it is necessary for somebody to be working in the background. It's a bit like going to the restaurant: you shouldn't notice the waiter, but you know they are there to work for you. I need to point out I never enter the part of the house which is rented to my guests and I absolutely value their privacy. I am glad anyways that you liked the place enough to give us 4 stars, and I strive to earn the 5th next time you'll be back! Sincerely, Irene

Fantastic Stay with two families
We were a group of two families and had a wonderful week at Villa Angela. Irene is a very warm-hearted and helpful host. The location of the house is incomparable - to open the door of the garden and hop into the lake gave us the opportunity to leave our cars almost untouched. Only one thing to improve is the equipment of the kitchen - we needed larger pots to feed our little hoard of hungry teenagers :-). Thanks Irene! Hope to see you again soon!

Eine perfekte Woche
Wir haben mit 3 Generationen ( 9 Personen) eine wundervolle Woche in der Villa Angela verbracht. Die Lage ist einfach unbeschreiblich schön und wir haben das Anwesen nur für Spaziergänge nach Salo verlassen. Die großzügigen Zimmer - alle mit herrlichem Ausblick , die Terrasse mit großem Esstisch und Grill und der weitläufige Garten mit Seezugang - alles war perfekt und führte dazu, dass wir uns alle unglaublich wohl gefühlt haben. Während der kompletten Woche war Irene für uns jederzeit erreichbar. Übernahme und Übergabe waren völlig problemlos. Ein großes Dankeschön an Irene.

Wundervoller Familienurlaub in einer exzellenten Villa
Sagenhafte Villa mit riesigem Grundstück und eigenem Seezugang. Wo hat man das sonst am Gardasee. Hinzu kamen die perfekte Sauberkeit, die Freundlichkeit und Gelassenheit der Vermieterin Irene und die Enkelkinder haben sich besonders über die fast unübersehbar vielen Kinderspielsachen inkl. einer riesigen aufblasbaren Insel gefreut. Ein rundum gelungener Familien-Urlaub!

4 days at Villa Angela Easter 2019
In summary a wonderful stay at a truly beautiful property. The villa's position is magnificent with the garden running down to the lake. Everything was exactly as described - clean and efficient. Irene was a fine host - her communications were perfect and she was waiting outside as promised when we arrived. The walk into Salo takes about 5 to 10 minutes - lots of restaurants, shops and a ferry stop. Grazie mille Irene.

Wunderbar!
Vom 14.10.2018 bis 21.10.2018 verbrachte unsere Familie - drei Generationen - eine wundervolle Woche in der Villa Angela am Gardasee. Unsere Erwartungen wurden nicht enttäuscht - Irenes "Villa Angela" ist wunderbar! Wir genossen das schöne Wetter auf der großzügigen Terrasse und den direkten Zugang zum Gardasee. Dank des schönen Wetters konnten wir jeden Tag baden gehen, auf den Liegestühlen den Blick über den Gardasee schweifen und die Seele baumeln lassen. Das Grundstück ist ein bisschen wie im Paradies :-) - für alle Generationen! Irene hat den Garten und die Terrasse so liebevoll angelegt, dass man auch durchaus den ganzen Tag hätte dort verbringen können. Auch in der Villa fehlte es an nichts und die Schlafzimmer verfügen sogar über einen Balkon, so dass man auch vor dem Schlafengehen nochmals das Lichtermeer der Städtchen am Gardasee genießen konnte. Vielen Dank, liebe Irene, für diesen einmaligen Urlaub! Alles ist wärmstens zu empfehlen und wir werden uns diesen wundervollen Platz als Geheimtipp vormerken. Viele liebe Grüße! Anke, Silke, Lina, Rosi, Dirk und Klaus :-)

Feels like you are in a F Scott Fitzgerald novel...
As you sit by the lake in the sun and the boats go by with the imposing turn of the century villa behind you it feels like you are in a F Scott Fitzgerald novel. Sympathetically furnished with original pieces the villa faces the lake with stunning views from the stone balconies and terraces. The large garden borders directly onto lake Garda allowing you to swim in your very own stretch of Italian lake. Our stay at Villa Angela was perfect. From the moment we booked, the owner, Irene, was in contact with us via WhatsApp, contacting us again nearer the time. She greeted us on arrival and showed us around. She was friendly and helpful, offering to book us boat trips, etc. Irene's English is excellent. There is secure off road parking for a large car and additional free parking in spaces on the road. Salo is only a 15 minute walk away so no need to drive to have your aperitvo!

Perfect location on Lake Garda close to the fabulous town of Salo
I have just returned from a fantastic holiday with my wife and 2 daughters. We stayed at Villa Angela for 8 nights and were completely blown away with the property. Irene, the owner, stayed in a separate part of the villa for part of our stay and was very helpful in answering our questions and gave us some great ideas for days out. The property itself is magical and the location right on Lake Garda simply cannot be beaten. We enjoyed breakfasts in the garden and evening barbecues on the massive terrace overlooking the lake. The beautiful town of Salo is a 10-15 minute gentle stroll away and has an array of shops and restaurants that line the very scenic promenade (Lunga Lago) which is the longest one on Lake Garda. We hired a car for the duration of our stay and arranged this before flying out from the UK. The drive from Verona airport was approx 45mins on the A4 Autostrada to Salo which cost just under 5 Euros. There is ample parking directly outside the villa and I would definitely recommend hiring a car to see as much as possible of this picturesque region. Besides Salo which we loved, other places that we visited and would recommend are; Limone, Sirmione and Malcesine. We will definitely be returning again and would like to thank Irene for making our stay absolutely perfect.

Dear Neil, once again thank you for your warmhearted words. So nice of you to post a review right after you left. This place is wicked. Its so beautiful and feels like it's somewhere else in space and time, especially at night, looking at the moon over the lake. It takes me so much effort everyday to take care of everything, and I wouldn't rather be doing anything else. The greatest statisfaction of hosting guests is to share the beauty of this the place. It does make me so glad to hear how much you guys enjoyed your time together here. I am also happy I was somehow useful to help you organise you stay, but indeed it's Villa Angela that does the magic. I hope to see you again. And thanks again for having left the house so clean and tidy. You make the perfect guests! Irene
