Amazing Italian villa with a huge and beautiful garden with pool and sauna. Nice, stylish and comfortable rooms. Parking and bike storage available free of charge. Free water with or w/o bubbles available on site. Rafael the owner and his adorable dog was very welcoming and helpful. No wishes stayed unanswered. We were a group of 12 and all were very satisfied with everything. Rafael even helped us with bike rentals and sorted out small issues we had. The villa is located within a 10-12 min healthy walk from the centre of Riva. Absolutely perfect, we would go back any time.

The absolute best accommodation I have stayed at for vacation. It is a pearl of Riva del Garda! When booking, I was attracted by the pictures of the yard and territory around the premises, but little did I know we would be staying at what during the late middle ages, around 1360, was the first Paper factory in Trentino and later- the home of the aristocracy. But at the core of this place is the family that owns and runs the hotel- they are the sweetest hosts and will definitely make you feel like you are at home. Shout out to Rafael, who manages the property and Angelica, who we shared some brief, but deep exchanges with. Both of them made us feel safe, happy and at peace at this fantastic location. Me and my mom will never forget the hospitality and our time at the villa. One minus is that you might have zero motivation to go out of the property to see the town and the beach, as the property has everything one needs for vacation- and more! We spent fantastic mornings in the gardens around the villa, read books in the olive garden, chilled at the swimming pool and at every moment felt the tranquility the place offered due to its history and the efforts of many generations of folks who took care of the place. Last, but not least, the villa offers free barbecue station, free sauna, bikes, sparkling water and the swimming pool, amazing views from everywhere and just a short walk from the center. you will not regret staying there! Thanks, Rafael and Angelica and hope to see you again :) Oh, and the homemade tiramisu...<3

The property is beautiful with lovely grounds and excellent facilities, like the sauna, table football, table tennis, bikes you can borrow and washing service. Lovely swimming pool too, although more for dipping than being big enough to do lengths. Nice location being a little out of town and the walk or cycle back up isn’t too strenuous. Rafael is a very friendly and helpful host too, we had a wonderful stay and very much enjoyed Lake Garda.

Our only difficult was not having air conditioning when it was really hot at the start of our trip, and being on the third floor it was quite hot. Fans are provided and it is in the description of course so not a complaint.

Amazing location - close to town but quiet, and we beautiful. Rafael was a great host - so welcoming and gave great recommendations in the area. Will be back in a heartbeat!

Nothing!

Rafael and Angelica are absolutely perfect hosts. I can’t say enough good things about them. The apartment was absolutely spotless and the grounds are a slice of paradise away from the busy town of Riva. We walked to the centre in around 20 mins, and by car in about five. This location was great for us - close to the mountains and the lake! The icing on the cake for us was how dog friendly the place is. We have a nervous rescue dog and he was very happy with his new dog friends and the security of the gardens! A great stay and we will definitely return.

Nothing, it was great.

We stayed here with a group of 12 friends & family between 16-20 May. Amazing villa in a beautiful garden with pool and sauna at the feet of the mountains located within a 15 min walk to downtown Riva. The villa has stylish and spacious bedrooms. Rafael is an extremely nice and helpful host, we had no wishes unanswered and his dog Kaja is adorable. Rafael helped us with the bike rentals and we could store and charge the bikes on site. Parking is also available on site and is free of charge.

A gorgeous old manor house with a olde worlde charm that has been converted into holiday apartments. It is surrounded by a beautifully tended garden with swimming pool and sauna. We received a very warm welcome from our host who was always willing to provide advice and suggestions on how to make most of our stay.

No negative impressions at all

Lovely big gardens - very relaxing. Very friendly with owners onsite and always on hand and helpful. No short cuts on what was promised.

The short walk up the hill from Riva to the property as it was 38 degrees when we were there.

The caretaker of the property was a man named Rafael and from the moment we arrived until check out he was extremely friendly, careing and helpful. We were traveling as a larger family with our two dogs and Rafael was accomodating and helpful, he went above and beyond our expectations to be sure we were settled in and everyone was comfortable. The villa is authentic and relaxing, we left feeling refreshed and really enjoyed our stay at Villa Angelica.

Nothing, the Villa Angelica exceeded our expectations.

We loved the beautiful, big garden with its views and infrastructure. We had breakfast there every day. Even though there were other guest, we felt intimate and private. The host was very helpful and forthcoming.

Everything was great :)
