Great stay, fine house
You’ll need a car to visit Salo (which is a very cute town) but the location of the house is fantastic, with a great view. The villa is also well kept, well equipped and has a nice pool. We also appreciated the grocery shopping service and the nice welcome gift (fantastic local oil and wine). Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful House with astonishing view over Salo
Much space for a big family in a well equipped villa. The pool with the garden and the view over Salo is the highlight. We enjoyed the terrace during all the day. The center of Salo can be reached by walking in 45 minutes. We did several biking tours through the Valtenesi. Salo is a beautiful town with a lot of shops,cafes and restaurants at the lakeside.
Disturbing: the street right under the house and the sleeping rooms in the basement (dark)

Villa Desire was perfect for our family group.
The view from the villa is breathtaking. There are several nicely furnished areas to take full advantage of the view. The pool & its surroundings are in sun most of the day. The water was too cold for most of us, it being late October. We'll have to come back in the summer.
The villa was very well equipped and we enjoyed all breakfasting in the kitchen & having evening meals in the dining room /lounge.
The Garda Holidays staff were delightful to deal with... very helpful & accommodating.
The owner of the villa came very promptly to sort out a small problem with the gas supply.
Thank you, all, for a lovely holiday!

Excellent Villa for a large group
The villa was excellent quality and everybody seemed to enjoy the 60th birthday celebrations, Catherine & Novella who manage the property were really good and helpful and quick to respond. We had all the utensils, furniture and outside kit for the 12 + 3 month old and they were in good condition.
One or two minor niggles such as one of the bedrooms slept 4 which was a bit awkward with 12. We were inundated with ants in the bedrooms but there isn't a lot you can do about it, Grounds were a bit untidy with long grass but didn't notice really until we left on the Friday and they strimmed it all which made it look a lot better, Pity it hadn't been done for our week.
Finally it is quite remote and the description doesn't really prepare you for the distance you walk to the lake or more importantly how steep it is to come back up. We had mature people who found it difficult and had to have a taxi back.

Traumhaft und einfach perfekt!
Wir waren mit zwei Familien da, alle Kinder schon erwachsen und mit Anhang. Es war ein wundervoller Urlaub, eine ganz tolle Villa in fantastischer Lage.Das Haus liegt einsam auf einem Hügel oberhalb von Salò, hat einen großartigen Pool, eine traumhafte Terrasse und einen fantastischen Blick auf Salò und den Gardasee. Wir haben uns alle so wohl gefühlt, dass wir uns die meiste Zeit am Pool und der Terrasse aufgehalten haben

Familienferien
7 Erwachsene und 4 Kinder haben die Ferien genossen. Das Haus ist wunderbar gelegen und sehr gut ausgestattet. Man braucht wirklich nichts mitzunehmen.
Nespresso-Maschine, Kindersitz, Kinderspielsachen, genügend Geschirr und Küchenutensilien, alles ist vorhanden. Besonderes Highlight waren der Pool und die grosse Terrasse mit der herrlichen Aussicht.

Wondermooi verblijf
Ruim huis met prachtig zicht op het meer. Winkels in de nabije omgeving. Fietsen aanwezig. Voldoende ruime kamers met airco.
1 minpuntje: geen WiFi aan het zwembad en WiFi in het algemeen niet goed werkend.

Semestern var perfekt! Utsikten var helt fantastisk! Huset hade allt! Vi återkommer gärna!
Huset är stort, fräscht och välskött. Det har alla bekvämligheter. Läget och utsikten är magisk. Vi fick inte nog av den att titta ut över bergen, byn och sjön. Servicen och bemötandet var proffsigt. Vi är så oerhört nöjda. Besök denna underbara plats!!!
