Refined and elegant
We stayed at Alborella to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Upon our arrival we were pleasantly surprised by the beauty of the villa, the garden surrounded by nature and centuries-old trees is spectacular. The villa has large spaces to share together, the kitchen is huge and well equipped, the rooms are refined and elegant, we were in the master bedroom and the terrace had a spectacular view. We always had lunch and dinner in the garden, the atmosphere was bucolic and romantic. We are already thinking of returning soon.

Can't wait to return
Alborella was an excellent starting point for wonderful holidays on Lake Garda. We took some wonderful walks in Salò, the centre and the beach can be reached in 10 minutes. It was also much appreciated by the children who had various internal and external spaces to play safely. Thanks to the property manager we organised a dinner with the chef which was incredible. We can't wait to return.

We will definitely be back!
A fantastic holiday, there were 5 couples of friends on motorbikes and we enjoyed the large spaces of the villa. The outdoor garden is very well kept and we always ate on the terrace, using the large barbecue! The pool is not very big but still very nice. We also took wonderful walks near the villa, in places that seemed enchanted. We will definitely be back!

Impeccable
The villa is lovely, we stayed at Alborella in July, we were three families of friends with children. The choice was perfect, the outdoor spaces are perfect and the swimming pool very pleasant. The rooms are well furnished and bright, we used the kitchen a lot thanks to high quality appliances and splendid oven. The outdoor barbecue is large ad we had some wonderful barbecues. The service was impeccable.
