Lovely place to stay and perfect base for families
We loved our stay at Residenza Ulivi. The apartment was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with fantastic views of the lake. The only areas for improvement were the unreliable Wi-Fi, which was slow and made it difficult to manage some unforeseen work commitments, and the master bedroom, which could benefit from a dressing table and mirror. Otherwise, it was an excellent stay.
The residence area was fantastic. The Olympic-sized pool never felt overcrowded, though it’s deep, so children who are not strong swimmers will need arm bands. The children’s pool was also perfect for smaller kids. The well-maintained clay tennis courts, playground, and football pitch added to the appeal. The entire area was very clean and felt safe, allowing our children to explore a bit on their own.
A car is essential for easy travel to different parts of the lake. Salo, with its stunning elongated promenade, is not very far, and Desenzano is also a short drive away—both are worth a visit.
We particularly enjoyed the predominantly Italian atmosphere of the resort. As a classic Englishman with foreign languages not being our strength, we found everyone friendly and patient, making our cultural immersion delightful.
The informal restaurant at the main residence served tasty, well-priced food, with Prosecco on tap being a highlight!
Overall, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend. We’re seriously considering returning in a couple of years.
