Villa San Giuseppe

My experience as an American tourist: I chose this place primarily for its price and vicinity to my next destination, but I was really impressed by the owners' hospitality and patience with my bad Italian, the breakfast (similar options to American hotel breakfasts like cereal, yogurt, juice, croissants etc. but far better quality), the venue itself (beautiful interior and surrounding area) and the lounge areas with board games, a piano and TV, places to be social or reclusive depending on the vibe of the night. It feels like everyone here is focused on your experience and not just crossing off a checklist of things to do so if you need anything I wouldn't hesitate to ask them.

The piano in the lobby could use a little tuning, but that's it!

A beautiful building on a fabulous location, runned by a very friendly family. The history of the building and the way you can still feel it and live in it. I would recommend to anyone looking for a special location near Brescia, you will not be disappointed. They even cooked us a simple dinner while the restaurant was closed.

The beds are a bit on the small side.

What a gem! Staying in this beautiful old palace was such a lovely experience. The place has so much charm, and we had a really comfortable, peaceful and quiet night. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the value for money was honestly fantastic. Giulia and her mum are just incredible people and really made our stay feel special. They are such wonderful, warm and genuinely kind people, and they made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. We also had dinner at the restaurant on the terrace, and we’re so glad we did. The food was honestly some of the best we had in Italy — and we couldn’t believe how reasonable the bill was! A really special place with lovely people. We would absolutely come back.

This is a wonderful villa surrounded by a wide garden. The communal areas are well maintained and they keep the flavor of the past. The bedrooms could be a bit more in line with the building decor, but nothing necessary for a good night sleep is missing.

Breakfast is not included and … better like that ! The available breakfast has no sour choices, only few sweet options. Nearby there are also no coffee shops or restaurants, the only choice is to drive to the lake and find there a suitable spot to have your breakfast.
