One of my favorite hotel experiences ever. I made a mistake booking and management immediately solved the problem. The design and architecture of the hotel is exceptional, fun, and rich. The room was perfect, clean, and comfortable in addition to being the coolest room we've seen in any hotel. An exceptional experience.

    We had a wonderful holiday here, the location is good and about a 12 minute walk into Malcesine, along the lake. Christina was always on hand for any questions. Lovely views from the apartment, plenty of room for the three of us(two double bedrooms ), living area on the small side but we managed plus you have the balcony overlooking the beautiful lake. The pool was just lovely, again just stunning views! Would definitely recommend and go back! Thank you!!

    Beautiful modern apartment in a luxury house. Lovely garden with lots of olive trees. Nice pool, with lounge chairs to relax on. We enjoyed very much our breakfast outside on the terrace with great views of the surrounding mountains. The old city of Malcesine is about 25 min walk with plenty of restaurants. Marissa, her husband (sorry, I forgot the name) and Giovanni were all very helpful and made sure we enjoyed our stay. Big thanks to them! We definitely plan to return.

    The grounds of the property are beautiful and the views are stunning. The dining terrace is a great place to eat breakfast or watch sunset over dinner. The building has a very alpine lodge feel in its design. The pool and nearby food shack is great for winding away relaxing afternoons. The diner restaurant is exquisite and the staff are all very friendly. We loved our stay and would highly recommend.

    The location was breathtakingly stunning, the pool and gardens were perfect. The villa is decorated beautifully, comfortable furniture, great pool, lovely views! Matteo the host was very friendly and helpful we got a full tour and he explained everything we needed to know. The walk down into Malcesine is very very steep!! But worth it. Once there the town is gorgeous, lots and lots of shops bars and restaurants. The cable car up to Monte Baldo is a must!
