Villa Rosa — Hotel in Sirmione

We are just back from a week's stay at Villa Rosa, in a lake view room with balcony, and had a fantastic week. Our room was spotlessly clean with a nice view, owners Patricia and Diego were welcoming and extremely helpful, with advice on local amenities, and buses, and gave us discount vouchers for ferries and more, along with local maps and leaflets. Shower was powerful, always hot water, lots of white towels and toiletries. Comfortable bed and lots of storage space, with a security safe. As the nights were hot, the air conditioning was fantastic.||||The rate included breakfast, which was the best we have had, with cereals, fruit, nuts, yoghurt, pastries and cakes, and cold meat, cheese, eggs, bacon, toast and tea/coffee. Laura and Andrea looked after us extremely well at breakfast, always cheery and helpful, it was a lovely start to each day.||||The location is ideal, on shuttle bus route to old town and castle (1 euro), but also very short walk to Columbare which had supermarket, cafes, and the bus stop to Verona. 20 minute walk to old Sirmione. Right across from the hotel (by the ice cream parlour) are a couple of lovely lakeside restaurants, and a grassy beach area with sunbed hire and watersports/swimming. Beware there are mosquitoes in the evening but that's inevitable by a lake in summer.||||On the walk to the old town there are shops, grassy park areas and a great crazy golf course. There are beaches in Sirmione which looked good, loads of people in the water.||||I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel, it's charming. The owners ordered us taxis, and even helped me out when I needed a doctor. We would love to return some time...

Spent 5 days at this hotel celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary. |The staff were very friendly and always giving help with where to go, using public transport and ordering us a taxi for the return journey to the airport. |Hotel was an ideal base, very clean and very comfy bed. Everything seemed new and quite modern but cosy. |Breakfast was perfect, a good cold selection of cereal, fruit and cold meats cheeses etc. also bacon eggs, toast and many cakes and pastries. With coffee and tea served to your table. The lady serving us was lovely and chatty, had a genuine interest in what we had been up to and happy to give more ideas of what to see. |There was a pleasant 30 minute walk or 10 minute shuttle bus ride into the old town. But many restaurants a stone throw away. |A 20 minute walk in the opposite direction to the old town took us to a wine makers where you could taste for free, have a tour and choose to buy the quality wine at a very reasonable price afterwards. A huge supermarket was also located on the main road about a 15 minute walk. |Would definitely return and highly...
