- "Very helpful staff, excellent location, personalised service" - "Everything was just perfect. The view is absolutely breathtaking, breakfasts were excellent, and the hotel’s design is stylish and thoughtfully curated. The staff deserves special praise – they’re truly top-notch. We arrived before the official check-in time, but our room was already ready and we were welcomed immediately. My clothes were washed and returned in no time. We were also given full access to the pool and spa whenever we wanted, without strict time slots – which made the stay feel extra relaxed and luxurious."

- "Very beautiful gardens and building with wonderful views of lake garda. Very peaceful with wonderful flowering shrubs." - "Good location, beautiful setting, incredible food. Very welcoming, friendly and intensive staff. Interesting building with some very sensitive interior design elements too." - "It’s safe to say that this hotel goes on our top 3 list for best hotels, and we have travelled a lot and stayed in many hotels! What an absolute gem. First of all, the staff. Wow! Everyone was so nice and friendly and you could really feel how much they wanted to make this stay memorable. We were always greeted with a warm, sincere smile and everytime we asked for a help or a recommendation, they were on it! Second, the location. It’s on it’s own huge property in the hills, still not far away from Lake Garda and very easy to take a walk down there, to for example the town of Saló. They are growing their own things on their property such as fruits, vegetables and herbs, which was really attractive. Thirdly, the hotel itself. It has a great history to it as it was a convent in the olden days. It was a worn down building that they bought and renovated, and they’ve done a hell of a job because you can not feel it at all. Everywhere you go, in every corner, there are signs of professionalism and an eye for detail. Oh, and let’s not forget the view from the swimming pool area over Lake Garda, with a drink in one hand and Burrata cheese in the other. Unbelieveable!!! Talking about food. Their restaurant and breakfast was 11/10. Spotless and so tasty. Mamma mia! I could write muuuuch more but I’m stopping here. I think you get the point; go and stay there. Don’t hesitate! You won’t regret it. Many, many thanks to all the amazing staff at Villa Arcadio. We’ll be back, hopefully sooner than later❤️ Best regards from Iceland🇮🇸🙏"
