Casa Vacanze Il Melograno

The self-service bar is a great idea, open during the day and night. You can pick up drinks and snacks without waiting for a server, note them in the customer book, and pay at checkout. It’s a quiet, green and peaceful place. The owner Giovanna speaks excellent English, and the janitor was very helpful and communicated well in English too. They were efficient whenever I needed help with anything about Lake Garda. Parking was easy, and since rain was expected overnight, they let me put my motorcycle in the garage at no extra charge. A unique experience, highly recommended.

I liked that there was a spot for dogs to rest or get some water. The pool was also completely fine, with nothing for me to complain about. Staff were very helpful and knew their stuff, and the apartments were clean with a decent range of household appliances. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable vacation.

We had no complaints, and would gladly send friends here if they ask about a family-friendly, budget-friendly place near the lake. It’s not right on Lago di Garda, but with a car we were happy to have a quiet base where the kids could play and I could relax. We rented an apartment for two nights after flying into Milan. It was easy to find, though I managed to mess up the last few meters a couple of times. The setting is just as idyllic as the photos. The owner, who spoke perfect German, welcomed us and showed us both the apartment and garden. Our daughters, 7 and 10, spotted the pool and whirlpool right away and went back to change. We had a BBQ, and the fireplace and coal were already there, which was great since I usually bring a small grill. There are several supermarkets close by. I went to family mart and Lidl and liked them both, though I’m biased because I work at the latter. We didn’t spend much time in town, but did explore the surrounding area. Lago di Garda speaks for itself. The apartment also offered breakfast for a reasonable price, and the honesty bar had ice cream, cold drinks and chilled wine at fair prices. On our second day, which was part of a transit trip, the kids headed to the pool at 7:30 in the morning because they live in Asia and were six hours ahead. The hosts hurried to open the whirlpool for them soon after. That was awesome on a Sunday morning. A big grazie to the hosts. Cheers from Sven, Amber, Annie and Meiling.

The Wi-Fi was very bad and kept disconnecting, and there was a bad smell from the closets. We were charged for basic heating in the house. The hostess was terrible and accused us of complaining. My family left a day early.
