Tranquil retreat in the hills above Lake Garda
0161FiFion 28/08/2016 10:30My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights. It's beautiful. Our room was huge, beautifully decorated and had views down the valley.
It was a twenty minute drive down to Garda on the lake, so an excellent base from which to explore the lake.
We ate outside in the courtyard on our first night - fantastic food and wine, and all the staff so friendly and helpful.
Great swimming pool set up in the meadows behind the hotel, it was so peaceful swimming and sunbathing there for a couple of hours.
Breakfast was until 10.30, great range of pastries, meats, cheeses and eggs, and you can eat inside or outside.
We hope to come back here, it was just so lovely.
Restaurant: Not bad, but I had expected better
Garfield963on 16/08/2016 17:11This is a review for the restaurant, not the hotel.
The location very nice, upon the hill, in a green surrounding. Eeating is done out on the terrace in front of the old house (and hotel), however, with not so comfortable (metal) chairs. We chose a table when it was still light, but when darkness fell, there were just 2 or 3 umbrella's with a light. Our table was completely in the dark, with only the light of a candle to see what you were eating. That may be enough to have a pizza, but it is surely not enough to have a decent dinner.
As Appetizer, we took a mixed plate with fish (we were given the choice between meat and fish) for 15 euro. This consisted of 3 small items, not really worth 15 euro. As Primi I had the Pasta nero with shrimp which was VERY good, and my partner had the pasta with duck, which was only so so.
As main course my partner had the mixed fish grill. Not bad, but not up to the expected level (the week before we spent in Chioggia, were these type of dishes were superb, this one does not live up to the comparison). My dish was the Swordfish, which was also only so so. Again, it was not bad, but we had much better earlier this trip.
Whilst we were eating our main course, the staff started to clear the terrras, removing all table cloths, etc. Seemed to give a strange message to the few guests still eating their dinner.
The price for 1 shared appetizer, 2 primi and 2 main courses + a bottle of Prosecco was 95 euro. A price I would happily pay but the food served was unfortunately not up to this level. If this were between 60 and 70 euro, they would get a score of 4, at 95 euro, this reduces to 3.
Note: they need more attention for details: e.g. the mens room had toilet paper but no light, whilst the ladies room had light but no toilet paper. This should not happen at a place which pretends to have a certain level !
Wonderful stay..
Eddiefatpawson 08/06/2016 12:58We stayed here for four days in May and we were very impressed. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was very nice and the evening meals are OK. The grounds are lovely and simply heaving with birdlife (the dawn chorus was amazing).
The pool was great and mercifully devoid of children.
We stayed in room 8 which was huge with a very comfortable bed and fantastic bathroom. It was also nice and quiet considering the property is very close to a busy road. The weekend bike traffic was extremely loud by the pool but you could barley hear it in the room.
A great place to relax or use as a base to explore the region.
Fantastic honeymoon destination
Family-shalowingson 24/08/2015 08:43We booked San verolo many months ago after spotting it on booking.com. When we arrived after our wedding we could not have been happier. What a place! So beautiful, tranquil and relaxing. The room we were given was superb, huge bed and amazing bathroom. The main house was beautiful and the veranda so comfy, The pool area was also very nice indeed and certainly a great place to unwind. Location could not have been better, just outside of the hustle and bustle of Garda town but only a 5 minute drive. We ate at the hotel a couple of times and it was lovely, the house wine fantastic! The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly, they really made our week perfect. Thank you so much for everything, we hope to return one day and will be recommending you to our friends!

This is the country stay you always look for.
Eli Bon 08/06/2015 11:43What could be more romantic?.... a small inn, nestled in the rolling hills of the tranquil countryside about 15- minute drive away. Beyond the outer stone wall we find a courtyard where tables are set for open-air dining in balmy weather.
Our room on top of the main house is the best for the views, its spacious, decorated perfectly with exceptional appeal boasting a simple elegance appropriate for a farmhouse. Gorgeous fabrics, fine antiques, original art, rich colours, fine linen and splendidly large bathroom. Did i miss out on anything?
A path leads up a gentle slope to a large swimming pool terraced on the hillside with a beautiful view of the countryside and to the bell tower of a tiny church peeking out of the trees just below the hotel. Breakfast is not included but is wonderful to pay for.
