Dearest Shane, I'm happy you liked Salò, I love it myself so much :) Unfortunately the road noise is inevitable as the house is nested on the lake shore. Your feedback is very much appreciated tho, as this winter, when we take care of restorations, we'll also work on noise insulation. Our Villa Angela gets improvements every year, and AC is surely on the list, as soon as we can afford it! Right now our prices are competitive but we hope we'll be able to enter the luxury market in the near future. Thanks again for your stay, it was a pleasure having you, ciao :) Irene

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.

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!

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.

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

Neither I have forgotten you and your beautiful family from all over France. It would be great if you could be back again. Villa Angela is the perfect setting for an intimate, relaxing family reunion... and yes for fishing and swimming too;) Next time you are here, your son Joan should try out the fishing reserve of the river Maderno. It's gonna call for another trout barbecue in front of the lake! See you next summer! Baci, Irene

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)

Dear Aileen, don't mention it. I'm happy I had the chance make you happy, finding your ring! Thank you for your stay, and for the nice review. I'd love to see you again. P.S.

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

Dear Tom, thank you for your review. I am really sorry you experienced some discomforts during your stay. The tub in the 3rd bathroom couldn't be used as the pipe underneath had broken, and there is no way to fix it but having the entire piping redone. We already have arranged everything to have the bathroom entirely renovated at the end of the season, as we can't do it now with guests in the house. All what was not functioning though was the tub, and there are other two fully functioning bathrooms in the house. As per the yard work, a huge garden like ours requires constant attention (and is home to a little ants). I am sorry if my presence working in the background has upset you. In the description I wrote exactly that you should expect seeing me working in the garden. I was there only for a couple of days though, after which I had to leave you alone in the property for the rest of your stay. I was 80km away for work, and unfortunately couldn't come fix the door on your closet, neither the router. I am glad you decided to give us three stars anyways, and if you came back I'd be happy to offer you a special price to make up for the problems you encountered (which will be fixed for next season!). Ciao, Irene UPDATE: By December 2022 the malfunctioning bathroom has been completely redone and we have three fully functional new bathrooms.

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!

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

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.

Dearest Silke, thank you for your review. Everyday I work to make Villa Angela better and better, and therefore I appreciate you having pointed out the problems you encountered. This is not a modern house, but a historical mansion furnished with antiques that needs continuous restoration. The chairs that weren't on your balcony were being restored (by the same woman you saw on the premises). The doors will be fixed too, in time. Little by little. Viel Luft nach oben. As you can read in the host description, it says I live on site, in a separate portion of the property, as I am the gardener and the caretaker. This is also stated on the lease agreement you accepted via VRBO. Other than seeing me working in the garden, my guests don't share the place with anybody else, as the property is rented entirely. A villa like this needs work to be done every day, and it is necessary for somebody to be working in the background. It's a bit like going to the restaurant: you shouldn't notice the waiter, but you know they are there to work for you. I need to point out I never enter the part of the house which is rented to my guests and I absolutely value their privacy. I am glad anyways that you liked the place enough to give us 4 stars, and I strive to earn the 5th next time you'll be back! Sincerely, Irene

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!

Tolles großes Haus für Freunde oder große Familie ideal. Ein angegebenes Badzimmer befindet sich nicht direkt mit im Haus sondern ist nur von außen zu erreichen. Wir würden es auf jeden Fall nochmal buchen und können es nur empfehlen.

About the host

Hi! I am Irene. Villa Angela has been with my family for four generations.

I'll be here to welcome you when you arrive. I live in a separate portion of the property as the main caretaker, attending to yard work and maintenance.

If you need anything, I'm here to help make your holiday unforgettable!

Why they chose this property

The exclusive position of Villa Angela grants you priceless peace within the very heart of the Garda lake.
In a 10 minutes stroll you can reach the Lungolago of Salò, its boutiques, traditional shops, ice-parlors, restaurants... Experience the exquisite atmosphere of the Lake Riviera!

From Salò you can easily reach the countless attractions Lago di Garda is world-renowned for, including outdoor adventures, cultural heritage, great food and fashion. If you don’t feel like driving, you can just take the ferry to travel across the lake!

What makes this property unique

Want your own, independent villa, private garden, direct access to the lake, just a stroll away from Salò downtown? You just won't find anything quite like us!
