Amazing Vacation!
The house is great! We stayed for a week for a family vacation and I highly recommend it and wish I were still there. Vijit and Marilena were both very friendly and helpful. Breakfast every morning was huge and delicious. Paola is very helpful and regularly checking in to make sure everything is okay and if you need a rental car, pick-up/drop-off from the airport, chef, or probably anything else, she provides great recommendations and they all separately coordinated with Paola ensuring everything went smoothly.

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.

We savored every moment spent at this beautiful Lake Garda villa. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed as family into our home away from home. Paola is the most gracious, caring, thoughtful and attentive host. She willingly assisted us with all reservations during our stay and answered many questions before and during our stay fully and promptly. She is a delight ♥️ We were lovingly cared for by Praboth and Giorgio who prepared endless cappuccinos and the most delicious breakfasts. We especially loved the berry tart and French bon bons Giorgio made for us.. Our La Criolda was a slice of heaven and we hope to visit again in the future.

What a wonderful place to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary with our family. We were thoroughly spoiled for a whole week. The house is beautiful but the weather was so good that we spent most of our time exploring or enjoying the garden and pool. Paola was always available to help with restaurant bookings, arranging taxis or recommending places to visit. Lahiru cooked us lovely food - we all want his pancake recipe. Back to reality now and we all need to go on a diet!

Unforgettable Home Away From Home
Too amazing to describe. Seriously. I have stopped and started this review at least 400 times ( like the Lido 84 dish)! When we booked this villa/home, we fell for the pictures. Upon arrival, we fell in love. Let’s just say La Criolda, you had us at lavender:) Literally, there is a bouquet of lavender holding postcards of the home at driveway... So, the pictures are gorgeous but the reality is breath taking. The location is so amazing! It’s fun, beautiful, in the “thick of things” romantic, homey, family friendly, luxurious, beautifully appointed, etc. the list of qualities could go span all of Lago di Garda. All your needs are met. Needs you didn’t even know you had ( I.e. full breakfast spread fit for royalty or George Clooney ;) are met and then some :) Three incredibly special people are huge part of making your stay even more amazing. They make your stay an “over the top” in all the right ways stay! Paola will take care of all your concierge type needs. She’ll get you impossible to get reservations at the absolute best world renowned restaurants. She knows the primo shopping spots. Every sight you should see every inch of the region. Oh, and I now have a sister in Italy :) I love you, Paola. Can’t wait to see ou next year! Oh, Lahiru, how we miss you. First, we miss your fresh squeezed orange juice. Every. Single. Morning. Second and Most important, we miss you. You took care to ensure our every need at La Criolda was taken care of. We miss seeing your smile every morning, the smells of your cooking/baking fill in the house, and just knowing you were there if we needed. This house has something /everything for everyone. Just save some dates for us every year!!!

Utter Paradise
La Criolda is such a magical place it is hard to know where to start when writing a review. We were greeted with such warm smiles and hugs from Paola, George and Lahiru we felt like long lost family. For the rest of our stay they took care of every need and whim, nothing was too much trouble. Paola was an absolute delight, warm, bright and caring. She arranged anything we asked for, found us reservations at fully booked restaurants, taxis, boat rides, tips on markets, shops, and sights, and she was always at the end of the phone when we needed her. George looked after the house and us with quiet elegance. We would leave the villa in a flurry and a mess only to return to a spotless home, beds made, clothes folded, and wine chilled. Lahiru was in charge of the kitchen and provided us with breakfasts fit for kings everyday. Along with pastries, breads,homemade jams, charcuterie, yoghurts, cereals, every tea under the sun, he would also squeeze orange juice and cook a different hot dish every morning. In the afternoon another treat he had made would appear, a freshly baked cake, a delicious smoothy...we were so spoilt. He was always around to help, make us a drink, greet us with a smile, and like George was professional, warm and charming. The villa is breathtaking. Every room is decorated with incredible attention to detail and elegance and individuality. Wooden floors, antiques you dream of owning yourself, enormous exposed beams, soft comfortable seating, it feels like a very old villa in many ways but architectural touches - the polished concrete staircase, the cement stucco walls, chic bathrooms make it anything but old fashioned. The inner workings of the house are very modern- lighting, fridges, tv's, blue tooth speakers in every room, the bathroom fittings, the gym the garage, security - so the house works brilliantly. The bathrooms and bedrooms are filled with thoughtful touches - practically anything you could want you will find, from Italian dictionaries to Prosecco, the bathrooms have little glass bottles filled with shampoos etc, there are dressing gowns, slippers, irons,CDs, baskets full of snacks, it really is quite extraordinary. Oh and the beds have proper linen sheets! Surrounding the villa is a lush well kept garden, an inviting sea green pool sits just beyond the outside terrace, and from the comfy loungers you can see the lake sparkling just meters away. We never wanted to leave and can't wait to return.

La Criolda - Little paradise on an very special place with amazing view made our wishes become true
Wir durften dieses wunderschöne Haus mit unseren liebsten Freunden für drei Wochen genießen und sind allesamt schweren Herzens abgereist, da uns die sehr liebe Eigentümerin Paola und ihre Crew - allen voran Praboth und Monica! - jeden Tag jeden Wunsch von den Augen abgelesen haben und wir uns innerhalb kürzester Zeit zuhause fühlen durften! Es ist nicht nur die atemberaubende Lage, nicht nur die Einzigartigkeit des Hauses mit märchenhaftem Interieur, nicht nur das exzellente Essen und Trinken, sondern auch die Liebe der Menschen dort, die mit sehr viel Flexibilität und Aufopferung uns allen von klein bis groß jeden Tag aufs Neue mit einem Lächeln den Urlaub zu einem Zuhause bereitet haben! Wir danken ALLEN sehr, dass wir uns so gut und daheim fühlen durften! Wir kommen sehr sehr gerne wieder! La Criolda - the Place to be.......❤️🙏🏼❤️ Thanks Paola, my dear, for everything! Thanks Praboth for making us smiling every day!!!!! Best wishes to all of you! Christine with Maya, Nina, Laura and Leonie (the Babies) and Thomas and Loyda, Stefan with Sarah. And a big lovely wuffwuff from Ava and Buddy.

La proprietà è molto bella, il maggiordomo ha reso confortevole la permanenza, la signora Paola ha accolto le nostre esigenze. È stato bello, ci torneremo
