Villa Arcadio ★★★★

Familiär, nettes Personal. Gutes Essen, reichliches Frühstück bei gutem Wetter mit Blick auf den Garda See.

Etwas weit vom Ort Salo entfernt, daher aber sehr ruhig.

Tolle Lage, sehr feindliches Personal. Tolles Frühstück mit frischen Produkten.

Leider etwas überteuert. Essen ist leider sehr teuer. Sauna muss extra bezahlt werden.

Alles

Super schöne Lage mit traumhaften Blick über den Gardasee. Besonders leckeres Essen, sehr aufmerksames Personal und super nette Inhaber. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder.

Sehr freundliches Personal

Keiner hat beim Gepäck geholfen. Sonst war aber alles Tip Top.

fantastische Lage und romantisches Ambiente .. Erholung für Körper, Geist und Seele -

Great hotel

It’s safe to say that this hotel goes on our top 3 list for best hotels, and we have travelled a lot and stayed in many hotels! What an absolute gem. First of all, the staff. Wow! Everyone was so nice and friendly and you could really feel how much they wanted to make this stay memorable. We were always greeted with a warm, sincere smile and everytime we asked for a help or a recommendation, they were on it! Second, the location. It’s on it’s own huge property in the hills, still not far away from Lake Garda and very easy to take a walk down there, to for example the town of Saló. They are growing their own things on their property such as fruits, vegetables and herbs, which was really attractive. Thirdly, the hotel itself. It has a great history to it as it was a convent in the olden days. It was a worn down building that they bought and renovated, and they’ve done a hell of a job because you can not feel it at all. Everywhere you go, in every corner, there are signs of professionalism and an eye for detail. Oh, and let’s not forget the view from the swimming pool area over Lake Garda, with a drink in one hand and Burrata cheese in the other. Unbelieveable!!! Talking about food. Their restaurant and breakfast was 11/10. Spotless and so tasty. Mamma mia! I could write muuuuch more but I’m stopping here. I think you get the point; go and stay there. Don’t hesitate! You won’t regret it. Many, many thanks to all the amazing staff at Villa Arcadio. We’ll be back, hopefully sooner than later️ Best regards from Iceland????????

Villa Arcardio is an outstanding boutique hotel set in the hills above Salò on Lake Garda. The impression once gets as our taxi from the station wound up the steep cobbled drive to this ancient former monastery was almost like visiting well-off Italian relations for the first time. We had a wonderfully warm welcome as if we were long-lost family and were conducted to our lovely room which, incidentally had the remains of 14th century decorations on parts of the walls. The window overlooked the swimming pool and to the right Lake Garda over which the sun rose majestically and colourfully each morning. We were then shown around the premises and introducted to staff as we went round. We felt very much at home. The staff were kind, attrentive, helpful, delightful, friendly. It is well out of the bustle of the town. surrounded by olive groves and fruit trees with wooded hills rising behind (it is as good 40 minute but pleasant downhill walk into Salò - more effort getting back!). Sounds were not of traffic or late night revellers as you might expect in a town, instead could be heard the sounds of distant chickens clucking, wind in the trees, birds singing and at night, a chorus of frogs croaking (must be the mating season!). We saw the little green and black frogs on a couple of occasions while timid lizards basked in the sun on rocks. Eagles could occasionally be seen circling around the hills that form the backdrop to the premises. The whole villa has been very expertly restored without spoiling its historic character and is filled with antique furniture, clocks and other items very tastefully used. The food in the restaurant (whether breakfast, lunch or dinner) was extremely good. Suffice to say we were sad to leave and hope that we might stay again some day.

Well this is quite hard to answer and they are not really dislikes... but observations Clocks!!! I mentioned that there are vintage and antique clocks around the premises - several of them and, having an interest in clocks, noted some fine examples including from English makers dating back to the 18th century. Sadly, though, none were working but there is no reason why they shouldn't for want of someone to wind them up. A member of the team mentioned their chiming wasn't liked by some guests but the chiming mechanism can easily be disabled. Coffee in the bedroom: A coffee first thing is always welcome, but I found it slightly surprising that it was instant coffee in individual difficult-to-open sachets (Nescafé of all things, in Italy ... a country famed for its excellent coffee!!). I think coffee pods and coffee machines would be much appreciated by guests (with decafienated option too). I should add, that the coffee in the restaurant is the real stuff! Frogs and singing monks: At night the frogs struck up an incredible chorus which I quite liked but Hilary less so. Nothing can be done about that of course but thought I would mention it; it may be that the frogs' chorus is only on our side of the hotel. One night Hilary woke up with a start convinced that she heard Monks chanting, this was after all once a monestary. But may be it was the frogs... :-) None of this spoiled out stay at all.

Beautifully renovated monastery with lovely grounds and furnishings.

Lovely staff and beautiful location

Everything

monastery from 14th century in romantic lawns with grape orange and olive trees . magical property!

The sauna was chargeable at €60 where as majority properties have it free for hotel guests

Location, exclusivity, atmosphere.

Nothing.

TRES BELLE VUE SUR LE LAC DEPUIS LA PISCINE qualité du restaurant remarquable très belle propriété, calme et douceur de vivre très bon accueil

un peu déçue de la chambre au rez de chaussée donnant sur une petite cour sans trop de luminosité préférer vue sur le lac

La posizione, la vista del lago, il giardino, la gentilezza dello staff.

La scarsa illuminazione del bagno e della zona letto

Location davvero suggestiva, sarà starà anche la meravigliosa luna rossa che splendeva sul golfo di Salò.. ogni angolo e particolare è curato, si respira tranquillità, con la possibilità di accesso veloce a tante attrazioni ed esperienze (degustazione nelle cantine dei dintorni, mercatini, il Vittoriale ..)

La colazione potrebbe esser un poco più varia per quanto concerne croissant e dolci
