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

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 La Criolda

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!

Impeccable and magical

Paola has created a most remarkable and memorable experience for her guests at La Criolda on the majestic Lake Garda. From the design and thoughtful accommodations to her attentive staff, the fantastic location and her recommendations for experiences during the stay- all beyond expectations. We had an amazing time and would absolutely recommend and for sure come back again. Grazie Mille!!!

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!!

House looks exactly as it does in photos. A charming place, well located with attentive and well informed owner and pleasant, helpful staff.

We loved La Criolda Villa so much that we prolonged our staying for another day.

Everything was impeccable

We will surely come again.

Thank you

Absolute perfection! 

My family and I stayed here for four nights after spending time in Venice. The house and grounds are absolutely stunning! Plenty of room inside and out and every room is perfectly appointed. Paola is an amazing host - she greeted us at the house and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. She immediately made us feel welcome and like family. Praboth and Rigit took care of us for entire stay. They made an amazing breakfast every morning and set up a great last night get-together on the back patio for our last night. Anything you need, they will take care of it! This is honestly one of the best experiences we have ever had on a family vacation. We will definitely return and cannot recommend highly enough! Thank you, Paola!!

La Criolda is more beautiful than you can imagine. Luxurious, comfortable and equipped with everything you could possibly need and the views are breathtaking. And oh my goodness the service. Wow! Paolo is the perfect host and recommended restaurants, things to do, places to visit, organised a car to and from the airport, car & speedboat rentals delivered to the villa, dining reservations, private boat to take us to dinner across the lake at sunset and more. Absolutely incredible. Breakfast was prepared and served every morning on the terrace by the lovely Marilena & Vigit the butler - fresh fruit, ham, cheese, pastries, yoghurts, fresh cake, pancakes and hot food and I can’t speak highly enough of Vigit. Always quietly there but so helpful and on hand to assist with anything we needed during our stay. I cried when we arrived and again when we left. The most beautiful place we’ve every stayed with the most wonderful hosts. An experience you’ll never regret. Absolutely perfect.

10 million stars!!!! We loved it. Even better than we expected and great location too…right near the beach with restaurants, caffe, activities ferry and bus stop. Paola was amazing and so sweet. She went out of her way to send us to fabulous places and restaurants we would have never thought to go. I highly recommend you rent a car if you can. Our vacation was totally different and WAY better than we planned. Prabotdh and Vijit were also phenomenal.
Amazing breakfast every morning (with cake!!)and they helped us with anything we needed. SO KIND and helpful. We came with another family and it was a DREAM vacation. Paola even got a doctor to come to the house when one of our friends didn’t feel well. I cannot recommend La Criolda enough. Don’t think twice. You will not regret it. The pictures do not do it justice. L😍VED every minute.

The MOST amazing place We have ever stayed! The space, the beds, the host, the location, the butler, the pool, the views were ALL PERFECT!! We would stay here again and again. It was the perfect start to our family vacation and we could not have asked for more. Definitely take a boat out for the day and enjoy even more breathtaking views. I cannot say enough about our experience!!
