Raffa hotels

It’s better than the listing shows. The house is very spacious and well equipped and the outside area excellent. The pool is a delight!

landlady very friendly and resolved key box problem that did not open

There is so much about this property to say! It is full of old world charm and is a striking property! The scenery is stunning and the 'swimming pool' at the bottom of the garden was amazing!! Lake Garda is glorious and to have that within feet of your back door is incredible. Go pay a visit to this property, you wouldn't be disappointed!

Due to late flight into Verona Airport, our arrival at Stefano apartments was quite late & in darkness. Despite this, our wonderful host Barbara met us and took time to show us our apartment & explain everything to us. The apartment was spotlessly clean & very comfortable and on our first morning, the true splendour of Lake Garda was revealed from our balcony. The location of the apartments is excellent albeit the access lane to the front gate can be quite challenging due to the steep & uneven terrane. During our stay, we found the apartment had everything we needed for a wonderful holiday and we have no hesitation in recommending it to our family & friends who may wish to visit this beautiful location.

The view from Villa Carolin is amazing and we lived on the terrace! The property worked well for the four of us as we wanted a bedroom each. Felt it should be clearer in the listing that the two floors are not connected and only accessed from the outside. A small microwave would have been an advantage. Rolf and Sarah were brilliant at communicating with us, before and during our stay.

We were in love with this property. Owner are very gracious hosts, they will make your stay superb. Highly recommended

Good sized and comfortable apartment with generous garden and magnificent views. There is a lovely terrace to sit and eat out, see the lake and the mountains, and watch the boats and the sunsets. The garden has olives and other trees, with lots of places to sit and lounge - both shady spots and sunny spots. Inside there is a very spacious sitting room with comfy chairs. There are maps and information about walks, and also books and magazines. The kitchen is fairly small but very well equipped, lots of pots and utensils, and everything works well. The owners are very welcoming, generous and helpful. Torri del Benaco is a short walk away down an interesting (and steep) high-walled road. See if you can find all the ammonite fossils in the stones along the way! Torri is a nice little town, with lots of restaurants, cafes and boutiques, a couple of decent small supermarkets. There are bigger supermarkets at Garda and Bardolino. There is a good bus service, and there are ferries but we didn’t use those. There are lots of directions to go walking from the house. The walk to Crero is delightful, and the new Tibetan bridge across a spectacular gorge beyond Crero is a must. It is mountainbiking heaven - we reckon it is better than the more famous Riva end of the lake. There are lots of really good rides at all levels of difficulty. There is a bike hire (including e-bikes) shop in Torri.

We loved our stay here. The apartment was lovely and very well equipped. The beds were really comfortable and the view from the windows and the patio area was absolutely stunning. The patio was equipped with a table and chairs and it was so nice to sit outside and admire the beautiful olive trees and the garden which was full of flowers. There was a good sized pool there too. Asia, the Labrador, was very friendly and enjoyed walking around with our two West Highland Terriers. The location to many tourist spots was ideal and we spent a wonderful day in Sirmione and had lunch in a marvellous Trattoria right on Lake Garda. Maria, the owner, was a delight and we had quite a few very enjoyable and fun filled chats with her. Do not hesitate to book.
