Milan is the prime draw in Italy's most prosperous province. The Cathedral, La Scala opera house and Santa Maria delle Grazie, home of da Vinci's "Last Supper," are just some of the sights. Equally fascinating is the belle Epoque splendor of 19th-century Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. When not on one of its frequent strikes, Milan's Metro is an excellent way to explore. Renting a car opens up the region, with its towns full of Romanesque architecture and the peninsula of Sirmione and "Gardesana" coast.

Relaxing and informal We stayed here parents and 2 teens for our summer holidays. The place had everything we hoped for: nice basic (clean) rooms, a good (plentiful) breakfast, a nice pool with nice surroundings ( beautiful roses and olive trees on the sloped lawn), not too big a place, and very friendly staff. It is even closer to the lake than we thought, and we never had to worry about getting a sun bed. Don’t go here if you want a place with loud music and activities. Go here if you want a family feel, and a slow pace.

This restaurant was around the corner of our our B&B. Made a reservation in the afternoon and they told me eating gluten-free is possible. Had a delicious carprese and fish for diner. Gluten-free bread and amuse included. Very friendly bartender.

Villa Bissiniga is a unique place, ideal for any Holiday. The elegance and comfort of the rooms will privilege you as guests. You will be greeted by a warm and friendly atmosphere.The gardens and the park of the Villa Bissiniga host the animals and the botanical path. The solarium terrace and the Tavern for meeting complete the services of the house. A relaxing experience enjoying the sun of Garda Lake.
Perfect accommodation in a beautiful old villa. Interior was great. The outside area was a bit cheap and crappy: pool beds and umbrella’s broken, lots of different chairs, bit messy. Grass was yellow everywhere. I would go for better design/quality outside. Dont be pennywise and pound foolish. Ps. We think there was a ghost. Our door suddenly got janked in the middle of the night, lights turned on out of nowhere.

Storica villa dell’800 affacciata sul Lago di Como sponda orientale. 12 camere arredate con stile e dotate di ogni confort. 6 suite con vasche idromassaggio anche doppie per concedersi puri momenti di relax! L’hotel è anche dotato di Ristorante Gourmet con terrazza direttamente sul Lago. Molo privato per escursioni in motoscafo sul lago di Como.
We have been to this restaurant following a recommendation by our hotel. We were the only guests there as there was a wedding happening on the terrace. What a WONDERFUL experience ! The food is tasty, beautifully served, and the waiter was a genuine spark of joy in our day, so nice and careful. Thank you for this great evening

I cannot imagine there being anything else like this special place in the whole of the lake. After visiting here, we will never go anywhere else. Raffael was the perfect host and his knowledge of where to spend your precious days when visiting Lake Garda was invaluable. We saw many unique places that would never be found by looking online or at ‘best of’ etc. The pictures will never do it justice, a true gem.

Thanks to its beautiful balconies on Garda Lake, to the magnificent silhouette of the Alps, and to the extraordinary climate of the zone, Villa Onofria is one of the most fascinating residence in Sirmione. The elegant atmosphere, the exclusive location make Villa Onofria an ideal place both for those who travel alone and in small groups, in general for anyone is looking for the warmth of a home and the comforts of a hotel. Villa Onofria apartments are completely furnished, in a very stylish and elegant way,attention to details make the suites extremely comfortable and pleasant, highlighting the pleasure of life, just a few steps from the lake
This review has grade reflective of the attention received once staying in the property.Firstly I will state the positive points for this stay. View of lake and location amazing. Bed was comfortable Well maintained garden Now for the not so positive: Ants on the first day-man came to bring spray to eradicate. Air con non existent- 27 in room all week, very uncomfortable to sleep. Told Rosa, waited days for an engineer, came but made no difference! Too noisy outside to sleep with windows open! When I kept complaining to Rosa about heat she sent me the weather report and told me to open the windows! Not what I would have expected! A holiday with little sleep due to the heat in the villa is not great! Fridge door doesn’t close properly-food had to be thrown out as we hadn’t realised. Patio door so hard to open and close from outside. Shower very small and leaked. Radiator in bathroom leaked! Kettle leaks The swimming pool stopped working whilst we were there and we had to wait again for an engineer . Maid came once with towels and sheets but took them away again so didn’t come in. I had the same towels and sheets for 1 week, not really acceptable! Rosa had messaged stating the maid would come-she never did! No bottle opener or oven trays for cooking Minimal information within the property, I get the idea Rosa wants the bookings but can’t really be bothered with staying guests. Found out more from neighbours during our stay re dining etc than info. This place could be so much better! I feel Rosa should listen to her guests and put things right in a speedy manner. Not ignore messages hoping they will go away. I really loved Lake Garda everywhere was so beautiful and was hoping to be able to recommend villa onofria to friends, however due to poor attention to detail and customer service I cannot. I paid for an air conditioned villa. That is not what I got, therefore -false advertising. Must visit sirmione Town it’s truly stunning!

This relais & châteaux property offers stunning views of Lake Garda - the Latin inscription in the mosaic floor of the lake front balcony « you think heaven has fallen here » evokes the lake view very well. Villa Fiordaliso is a beautiful historic hotel. Its waterfront seems ideal for a social event. The historic rooms are elegant, and well appointed. The hotel was extremely quiet. The Camélia room has a beautiful covered balcony from where to enjoy the lake. We did not dine in the restaurant, but enjoyed breakfast by the lake (under the canopy tent). We found one particular thing lacking at this hotel: a little hospitality. Tepid welcome. We were basically shown to our room. The room is a walk up to the third floor - we did not mind that at all, but should be noted for guests who may have reduced mobility.

Just back from a week skiing over Christmas in Bormio with my extended family - 9 people. Teenager, lots of mid 20’s and a couple of more mature adults !! It was a great break, lovely ski resort and Clara plus her family and great accommodation were central to this. We stayed in a large 2 bed apartment and a second 1 bed apt and both were equipped with pull out sofa beds, full kitchens and high quality bathrooms, washing machines, dish washers, etc... as well as a balcony with view of the ski slopes for the World Cup downhill race!! Friendly, high quality apartments with anything we needed 100 m to ski lifts and 5 min walk to town. We were well able to cook Christmas dinner and feed a large gang due to facilities and equipment. The town was lively with good restaurants and occasional bar. Everyone we dealt with could not have been more helpful. Big call out to OKGo for ski gear rental - Marianna was brilliant, Elma Viaggi taxis for transfers and Scuola Ski Nazionale (Francesco) for ski lessons Will definitely be back

Typical 2 star Livigno apartment , all the necessities. Very cheap considering that its in the best location. You are there to ski and shop not to stay in a 5 star hotel !!! Most apartments are 1 bedroom only which is perfect for couples.
