Perfect location
Incredible location right on the lake and easy walk into Salo. A beautiful town with magnificent promenade and shop lined narrow streets. The villa is dated and in need of repair, however it does add to the charm of the place. We loved our stay and being a group of friends together was magical.

Excellent property & brilliant host!
The property is rusticly beautiful and the location is excellent being right on the lake. We enjoyed the paddle board, kayak & ring to splash about on the water. Although the kitchen is dmall, it is very well equipped. The three toilets & showers were clean & modern. The beds large, comfortable and rooms are spacious. We had 9 adults and often lost each other being spread over multiple areas The host, Irene, was amazing and very, very helpful.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 :-)

Stunning location
The house is in the most stunning location, and it is even better in reality. It is within easy walking distance of Salo, which has lots of restaurants and shops. The inside of the house is sympathetically furnished to the period, and has a shabby chic feel through out. Some rentals can feel very crammed in, but this has a fantastic open feel and virtually every room has a magnificent view of the lake, which is very easily accessed at the bottom of the garden. We had gone with plans to visit many places, but the house was so beautiful that we stayed there for the majority of the week. Irene the owner is very helpful, and welcomes you all into her home. I would say the only negative for us was that whilst there was WIFI it was only good in a few spots in the house, and we were travelling with 3 teenagers. But from the adults point of view it was bliss. I'd certainly go there again - just leave the teenagers at home next time!
