Magical Villa on Beautiful Lake Garda!
Our family absolutely loved our stay at La Criolda! The property and staff were above 5 Star! Paola has created a special experience for her guests The villa is magical and the attention to detail can not be over-looked. The Villa is better than what we could have imagined. The pool and outdoor living space overlooking beautiful Lake Garda is gorgeous. Each morning we were served a delicious breakfast perfectly prepared and presented by her staff attentive staff. Paola was a superb host and acted as a private conceirge. From the moment we booked she was helpful and attentive. She provided excellent restaurant recommendations, booked transportation and provided us with suggestions/tips on the places not to miss while visiting the beautiful villages along the coast line. If you plan to travel to Lake Garda there is no better experience than a stay at BEAUTIFUL Villa La Criolda! We miss it already! Thank you Paola Xo

Fantastic stay at charming villa
We had the loveliest stay at the beautiful La Criolda; Paola was the most communicative, attentive host, and Prabodth & Vigit were so helpful and welcoming. They took such good care of us and our children. The most delicious breakfasts, a tranquil garden filled with flowers, a perfect temperature pool - the house was fantastic. The location was ideal; so so close to pebble beaches and restaurants, but still private. Paola gave great recommendations and we had wonderful outings throughout our stay. We had the most wonderful time! Thank you Paola & team for your kindness!

Beautiful home!
The villa is simply gorgeous. Loved the outdoor patio and pool space. A butler serves a full breakfast every morning. They also straighten up the bedrooms and bathrooms daily. We truly enjoyed our time here. I would point out that the villa functions more as a small resort than a house. They ask you not to personally use the kitchen facilities. So, if you are wanting to cook big dinners at home, this might not be the right property for you. Multiple restaurants are in walking distance.

The most amazing place I’ve ever stayed.
La Criolda is the most amazing, beautiful property with every detail in the from the heart. The home has beautiful views from every room of Lake Garda. Paola, Prabotdh and Vigita greeted us and were so welcoming! We were greeted with appetizers and prosecco. The breakfast every morning was incredible and done to perfection. We felt like family by the end. I can’t express how much we loved our stay. I cried leaving hugging everyone goodbye. We are already planning our next trip back.

Superb in every way!
Our stay at La Criolda was perfect in every way! The Villa was absolutely stunning! My husband and I vacationed with two other couples….each having our own private luxury suite with views of beautiful Lake Garda. The Villa is just gorgeous and Paola has done an amazing job with the decor…down to every detail! Paola was extremely attentive and assisted us with dinner reservations at the finest restaurants….Lido 84 being our favorite! The staff prepared an amazing breakfast in the morning….a beautiful start to each day. We enjoyed some down time by the pool in the sunshine. The weather was just beginning to turn a bit so the water was too cool to go in, but it was very relaxing and we soaked in the sun with some Prosecco! Paola suggested a car so we could be free to visit nearby towns and sights. The ferries run from Salo which is about a 20 min drive…so keep that in mind if you plan on seeing the towns in the northern part of the lake. We were happy to stay close to the Villa ourselves as it was a short stay for our group. La Criolda was superb in every way! We look forward to an extended stay in the future so we can explore more of beautiful Lake Garda!! Thank you Paola!!

Unforgettable family fun
The review for the “La Criolda” could span several chapters. All of them charming, intriguing and fun. Let’s start with the welcome and meet and greet the staff: Paola has a wonderful way to greet you in the house like you were family, we immediately felt at ease and ready to relax. She introduced the attentive staff and ensured we were all set in our rooms. Then it was time for a celebratory drink and “merenda”; just to set the tone for the rest of the week. Paola will keep checking in throughout the week to make sure everything was taken care of and proposed itinerary and suggestions for dinner and made reservations for us. The house: well - the house is like stepping in a old farm where everything has been adapted for the modern life. Furniture and decore are just perfect, nothing is missing including your little fridge in each room to make sure you are never short of Prosecco or snacks. Every room is livable and promote relaxation and an environment where a family can reconnect, play games and tell stories. The grounds: the garden, the pool and the porch (where you will have breakfast every morning) will give you privacy and another environment where to play and have a laugh. Everything is perfect everything is taken care of….. just enjoy the place and all the amenities.

Bästa av det bästa
Fantastiskt hus, stort och välkomnande med alla tänkbara bekvämligheter. Härlig pool, vacker, stor trädgård, två minuter till strandpromenaden men ändå avskilt. Fyra bra matställen inom 10 minuters promenad. I huset enastående fin service av vänlig personal, lyhörda för önskemål och behov. Förvaltas av en unik, varm och glad kvinna som älskar sina gäster och gör sitt allra yttersta för att lösa eventuella problem eller särskilda önskemål. Hon tipsar även om trevliga utflykter, matställen och guidar om tider och tillgänglighet. Helt enkelt ett underbart ställe att skämmas bort på.
