Pros:

Die Unterkunft hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Im Apartment war bis auf einen Backofen (das wussten wir vorher) alles vorhanden. Alles war sehr sauber und das Anwesen war schon ziemlich beeindruckend. Es gab einen Pool, eine Sauna, mehrere kleine Brunnen, in denen sich die Hunde abkühlen konnten und sogar eine alte Kapelle auf dem Grundstück. Auch die Gartenanlage ist sehr schön und groß. Es gab einen kostenlosen Sodastreamer, aus dem man sich sein eigenes Wasser abfüllen konnte. Auch gab es einen Selbstbedienungsladen, in dem Getränke sowie selbstgemachtes Tiramisu oder Obst aus dem Garten erworben werden konnte. Auch die kostenlosen Fahrräder waren sehr praktisch. Ein mal kurz den Berg runterrollen und man war in wenigen Minuten in Riva. Auch die Lage selbst hat uns gut gefallen. So erreicht man beispielsweise den Ledrosee mit einem guten Hundestrand in wenigen Minuten. Hunde dürfen sich auf dem Gelände frei bewegen, wovon wir aber nur bedingt Gebrauch gemacht haben, da zwar nach vorne zur Straße alles eingezäunt ist, nicht aber hinten raus Richtung Wald/Berg. Das war uns mit unserem Jagdhund dann doch etwas zu unsicher. Rafael war sehr nett und hilfsbereit! Wir können einen Aufenthalt in der Villa Angelica definitiv empfehlen!

One of the most beautiful spots on Lake Garda
Pros:

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.

Wonderful experience for a family of 4.
Pros:

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.

Cons:

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

Pros:

Yes the Images are real , this villa is like living in a movie set for some pre modern lord's castle. The Garden is huge with breathtaking view! . The owner Mr. Rafael is a very welcoming and great communicator . I texted him moments after arriving and responded immediatley and open the gate for us in minutes. Showed us around the place and took the time to explain each section of the property.

Pros:

Piękna willa, teren wokół zadbany, basen w świetnym stanie. Idealne miejsce do wypoczynku dla rodzin, par i wszystkich turystów chcących zabrać ze soba psa. Pokój miał klimatyzację więc można bez problemu zostawiać psa i wyjść na spacer do centrum Rivy. Gospodarz jest niesamowicie przyjazny i pogodny, widać że wkłada mnóstwo serca w utrzymanie tego miejsca w świetnym stanie. Serdecznie polecam!

Pros:

إقامة لا تُنسى بكل معنى الكلمة ✨
مكان ساحر وتحفة فنية حقيقية بكل تفاصيله، من الديكور الكلاسيكي إلى الأجواء الهادئة والحدائق الجميلة. شعرنا وكأننا نعيش داخل حلم إيطالي قديم مليء بالجمال والراحة.

كل زاوية في الفيلا لها روح مميزة وتفاصيلها تعكس الذوق والعناية الكبيرة بالمكان. النظافة ممتازة والخدمة كانت رائعة جدًا.

المضيف رافيل ووالدته كانوا في قمة الذوق واللطف والاحترام، استقبالهم وتعاملهم الراقي جعل الإقامة أدفأ وأجمل، وشعرنا وكأننا ضيوف عند عائلة وليس مجرد سكن.

أما التيراميسو… فكانت مفاجأة مذهلة 🤍 ألذ تيراميسو تذوقناه في إيطاليا كلها، بطعم مميز لا يُنسى.

مكان سنعود إليه بكل حب، وننصح به لكل من يبحث عن تجربة إيطالية فاخرة وهادئة

Pros:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Un angolo di paradiso senza tempo.
Soggiornare in questa antica villa è stata un’esperienza che mi ha rigenerato l’anima. Si respira la storia in ogni angolo, ma è tutto incredibilmente curato, pulito e pieno di calore. I giardini sono semplicemente meravigliosi: alberi secolari, fiori profumati e scorci che sembrano dipinti. Ci si perde con lo sguardo, e si ritrova la pace. I proprietari sono l’essenza dell’ospitalità autentica. Un ringraziamento speciale a Rafael: una persona solare, positiva, che dal primo incontro trasmette gioia genuina. Si mette a disposizione come farebbe un fratello o un grande amico, senza mai essere invadente, ma sempre presente con il sorriso.
E la sua dolcissima madre? Un cuore d’oro, capace di farti sentire a casa in un istante. Rafael ci ha anche fatto visitare la chiesetta della proprietà: un vero gioiello architettonico, piccola ma ricca di dettagli preziosi, avvolta in un’atmosfera raccolta e speciale. Tutta la villa trasuda pace e serenità. È il luogo perfetto per chi, come me, ha bisogno di ricaricarsi dopo la frenesia della vita quotidiana. Tornerò, senza alcun dubbio. Grazie di cuore.
