Gorgeous lakeside property

We had the most wonderful stay at Villa Angela. We were 12 adults and a baby and all comfortably fit, with more than enough space. The garden is stunning, with lake access. The kayaks were an added bonus for morning strolls. The host, Irene, was very attentive and responsive to any questions we had. The house itself has so much character and charm. This is one of the most gorgeous properties we have ever stayed at and the town of Salò is just a 15 minute walk away or a quick bus ride. I HIGHLY recommend you enjoy your Italian vacation at Villa Angela, I guarantee you will love it as much as we did!

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.

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.

wonderful stay in Salò with all family

Villa Angela is a romantic accommodation in Salò, in front of the lake, with a lovely big garden where my son could fish and all we could swim; I really think that it's not easy to find a home so, where I invited all my family. The house is furnished with period furniture, with a modernly equipped kitchen; all was very clean and pleasant. I really suggest it to the families, even for the proximity to many beautiful places. Experience to repeat ! thank you also to the owner

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

Forever Grateful

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Angela. When we came back home to England though, I realised I had left there a pearl ring that my mother gave me for my 18 year birthday. As soon as she found it, Irene, the owner, shipped it to me free of charge. Irene, can't find the words to properly thank you. Our stay was amazing, we had a beautiful time together as a family... but I know if I had lost my ring anywhere else than with you, that would have cast a dark light on all our stay. Now I will always have the most beautiful memory. Thank you. Aileen (John, Joy, Mary, Leonard)

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.

Wundervolle Lage der Villa direkt am See

Villa Angela besticht durch ihre traumhafte und einzigartige Lage direkt am See, eingebettet in einen wunderschönen Garten. Die großzügige Veranda bietet ausreichend Platz, sodass man dort bequem mit 12 Personen gemeinsam essen kann. Der Kontakt zur Gastgeberin war äußerst angenehm – sie reagierte stets schnell und hilfsbereit auf alle Anliegen.Die Ausstattung des Hauses entspricht zwar nicht dem neuesten Standard, doch die spektakuläre Lage macht das mehr als wett. Einziger Wermutstropfen war das Fehlen einer Klimaanlage – bei Außentemperaturen um die 34 Grad wurde es auch im Inneren des Hauses recht warm.Alles in allem war es ein wundervoller Urlaub. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und kommen gerne wieder!

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.

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

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

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.
