    There were minor inconveniences due to the old plugs and some of them were not working and there was only one outlet in the room, so imagine a family of three and all needing to charge their phones, but as I told, it was only a minor inconvenience and the lake view compensated it a 100%

    We had the apartment with the lake view. To be honest, we needed nothing else but having breakfast and watching boats on the lake or having a glass of wine in the evening and watching the sunset.

    The walk up to the ca Mure was longer than expected - but it was made clear that there was a walk, so its not a complaint.

    Pool area and restaurant - very well maintained, and the staff at reception and restaurant were excellent.

    Nothing! Other more negative reviews mention the steep walk up the hill (it’s on a hillside, but the views are spectacular because of it!), the long walk to Bardolino (20 mins, counterbalances the additional food and drink you’ll enjoy) and the fact it isn’t a 4 star hotel (no it isn’t, it’s a fantastic resort with lots of choice of accommodation which is very accurately described on the website!). Absolutely no complaints from us about anything.

    Loved the views, the pool, the restaurant, the well maintained and spotless site and accommodation and the extremely accommodating and friendly staff. Our second visit and even better than last time.

    We didn’t cook in the apartment but there are only two rings in the kitchen which might be difficult for some if self catering. As stated in previous reviews there is no shop and the restaurant closes on Tuesday which is worth noting. We didn’t find the walk into town too strenuous but if you have small kids or reduced mobility the climb up the hill would be problematic.

    The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The pool area was fabulous and not too cold as stated in some reviews, although the weather was very hot. Our apartment was very comfortable and clean with a balcony overlooking the lake.

    Nothing major really, just information. About 30 mins walk from Bardolino and roughly same to Garda which we knew, but it was a struggle after a few days. Buses were not very reliable so not really an option. uphill climb to apartment from main road. Can get a taxi or bike. More mirrors and a coffee table would be a nice addition. outside table a bit worn and water temp in shower difficult to regulate at times.

    Lovely 2 bed apartment with amazing views. felt like no one else had been in it since refurbishment. Well equipped. Nice pool area. Beautiful area for a nice relaxing break. Not dated at all as in some other reviews. Nice gentleman on reception.

    Reception is only open 9-12 and 15-19 which isn't good anyone who goes out on day trips. No coffee, tea, sugar or water supplied in the room. Soap and shampoo supplied in small quantities and not replaced unless requested from reception. Similarly, bed sheets and towels aren't replaced daily - all room maintenance during the stay is done by the visitor. Electrical outlets inconveniently placed close to the floor far away from beds and tables.

    Good locaion on lake Garda, within short driving distance from major attractions such as Gardaland, Sirmione, Monte Baldo and Lazise. Nice swimming pool and restaurant, with nice views of the lake. Friendly staff. Spacious apartment with good kitchen facilities.

    Room decor was a little dated and the property is a bit of a walk to the town(or any shop). 20/25 minutes walk down hill which is fine but coming back up at night I would say you need to take a taxi or drive.

    Large room with a great outdoor space. Views from the property are lovely as it is a bit up the hill. Pool is lovely and the on-site restaurant is amazing!

    The "Ca Mure" renovated 2-room apartments are about 400m uphill from the pool and main area. With 35 degrees and a push-chair it is impossible to walk, so every time you have to take the car. Also, the garbage disposal is at the main area, so you have to transport it in your car (nice, with used diapers, as you can imagine) and dispose of the garbage at the main area. I saw that other people had the same issue, that by booking the apartment of your choice, it is not fully clear where it is located (main area, detached, ...). If I knew that we would end up detached from the main building, on the second floor without elevator, I would have definitely booked a different apartment for the family with 2 small kids. Take this as constructive criticism - I definitely would go there again.

    The nice, scenic view over Lago di Garda. The great pool in which my daughters had a lot of fun. The good restaurant with authentic food for reasonable prices. And the clean, newly renovated apartments in the "Ca Mure" part of the property. Also, the staff was very nice and helpful.
