Iuliana was super helpful. We had booked a villa in Lake Garda directly with an owner. We were badly broken into after two days, decided to leave the villa and secured a full refund but then needed to find another villa for 6 people quickly. Within 3 hours Iuliana had come up with three options for us in our preferred area of Lake Maggiore. The villa she found for us was perfect for our needs and everyone involved bent over backward to make sure the villa was ready for our imminent arrival.

We had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend this property. The location is excellent, just a short drive from the town, with plenty of great restaurants and cafés nearby. There’s also a nice, large beach within easy reach. It does get quite busy, but it’s perfect for families and swimming.
The house itself is very spacious, well organised, and has an excellent layout that worked really well for our group. The highlight was definitely the pool – it was large, spotlessly clean, and pleasantly warm. Having two different depths made it ideal for both children and adults.
The only minor downside was the air conditioning in the bedrooms. During our stay in mid-July, the outside temperatures were very high, and the bedroom temperature stayed around 27°C overnight, so the units struggled to keep the rooms as cool as we would have liked.
Overall, this is a fantastic property in a great location, and we really enjoyed our stay.
