Beautiful place to stay. Would stay again!

What an absolute gem, we loved our time at Residence San Michelle. It was perfect from our arrival, as we approached and saw the stunning view for the first time and met the lovely helpful team on reception. We stayed in one of the Villa‘s which was well equipped, a good size and had the most amazing view of the lake. The only slight niggle is plugs, not all Italian plug sockets worked with our European adapters and so with multiple devices it was very difficult to charge everything. The pool was lovely and the food at the restaurant was good. We didn’t want to leave and hope to return again, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Great location in the mountains with less than ten minutes to get to beautiful Garda by car

Property is closest to Garda town which is approx 2 miles away down winding roads with few pavements. We did walk back once but it’s a really steep incline and not recommended in peak heat or given vehicles using the road. We got around the lake by walking down, returning by taxi (€25 per trip), so bear this in mind if you do not hire a car. The apartments are not served by buses but getting around the lake is possible using buses (and boats obviously). We had a superior apartment which was very clean but lacking any Italianate features. The balcony was shared with other guests. The position of the restaurant and pool overlooking the south east part of the lake is fantastic. Breakfast is continental, self-serve. We found the reception staff very helpful and friendly (big thank you to Gaia) but did not receive this from most of the restaurant staff. One of the waiters in particular was quite rude and abrupt notably when we did decide to dine in for dinner. The food we ordered (beef ravioli) was not great; 5 or 6 small pieces about the size of a Thornton’s chocolate with some beef reduction in the middle (€21), so we decided to eat in a few of the many good quality restaurants dotted around the lake itself for the remainder of our stay. Breakfast waiting staff were not the friendliest but that was just the experience of my wife & I. Getting to and from airport costed us €80 arriving (1 hr journey) and €110 departing (1/2 hr journey)!
