    "It is as good as to refrain from everything"

    09/06/2020

    The introduction to the estate was extensive. The prohibitions were made very clear. Especially concerning the pool and the garden. At the entrance to the pool hangs a sign with rules. Yes and what can I say.....one is "not" allowed to jump, dive, splash, not to play with a water ball, not to eat, not to smoke, not to run, children are only allowed to be with their parents, not to shout or scream, on the lawn "not" to play ball, water ball, badminton, frisbee. We were there with two children, 10 and 13 years old. The Wlan only went at a certain place in the yard. When the children used the neighbours' table (it was agreed with the neighbours), we immediately got a rebuke. No trace of friendliness. We did not feel comfortable there and felt completely observed. The property, the apartment and the pool are a dream, but the hosts are not. A great pity. On the day of departure we asked if we were still allowed to use the pool after having cleared the apartment. But the answer was only against payment. Year........

    SOLIMAGO is a very special place, the result of a dream that lasted many years and finally fulfilled. Those who come and appreciate a place like this, of which we and the staff are guardians, do so to enjoy peace, silence, fusion with nature and the elegance of the architecture ranging from the Middle Age to the stunning contemporary swimming pool.
    There are people who, due to cultural lack and congenital rudeness, are not able to appreciate all this and want to prevent others from doing it too, by imposing revolting habits and customs.
    We would like to be clear with our future guests: this is not a place to make a mess, to play football, to light up stinky barbecues, here jokes and cackles are forbidden, you dont park haphazardly, you don't keep the engines running, you don't enter in the pool area with shoes on, you dont dry your underwear in the middle of the garden, you don't eat and produce garbage all around the property. These are banal rules, well known, especially to those coming from Northern Europe, where intransigence is at home. Well, we mean guests must behave like civilized and educated people in the most absolute respect for nature, for living beings who find refuge here, for the important and tragic history that here had one of the decisive moments to start the process that led to the unification of Italy. For everything else, for mass tourism and its loyal followers, the Garda Lake is full of cheap campings, residences and B&B where with little expense you can go wild to make a din, turn on a barbecue and eat junk food among concrete gardens and common restrooms.

    "Great pool, beautiful grounds"

    08/24/2020

    We spent 2 weeks in a beautiful stone house, good beds, good air conditioning, but the kitchen equipment left a lot to be desired...no toaster, no dishwasher, no decent wine glasses....well, not the top level that the hosts want to present. There is still some air up here, but the pool compensates for (almost) everything.........

    Dear guest, we are sorry that you did not fully appreciate our welcome, as for your notes we would like to specify that nowhere is it written that in LA CASA NEL BOSCO there are the dishwasher and the toaster (tool not frequently used in Italy)
    Two wine glasses were included in the kitchen equipment, what you say is not true.
    We also noticed that you really appreciated the air conditioning by always leaving it on at 16 degrees!
    The planet thanks.

    "Looks good on the outside, our overall experience was not so great. "

    09/23/2019

    Our room on the ground floor was very small. The bathroom was very roomy. The food, vegetarian, left a lot to be desired. We have been traveling in Italy for many years and have stayed at a number of accommodations; this one was a disappointment. The exterior of this place is top-notch. Basically, we didn't feel very welcome and we were not the only guests who felt that way. There were a bunch of rules posted in a couple of spots, Rules are fine, but they can be stated more diplomatically. We had to exit and enter through a door for autos which didn't feel very comfortable.

    Malgré la déception suscitée par cette révision fausse et injuste, nous essaierons d'être "diplomatiques" et de répondre point par point.

    "Notre chambre du rez-de-chaussée était très petite."
    Vous saviez exactement quelle était la taille de la chambre et quels services elle offrait avant d'arriver, vous l'avez choisie parce qu'elle était la moins chère, si vous vouliez et payiez plus vous auriez même pu rester dans un appartement de 90 mètres carrés.

    "La nourriture, végétarienne, laissait beaucoup à désirer"
    C'est une ferme végétarienne, tout le monde le sait, sauf vous. Ceux qui viennent ici le font souvent pour cette raison, si vous n'appréciez pas notre choix éthique, c'est votre problème (et malheureusement un gros problème pour la planète). Vos opinions sur la qualité de la nourriture ne sont pas fiables parce que vous n'avez jamais mangé ici.
    Votre problème est évident : vous n'avez pas trouvé d'œufs et de bacon au petit déjeuner.

    "La salle de bains était très spacieuse"
    Quel est le problème ? Cette salle de bain convient également aux personnes à mobilité réduite, ce qui ne semble pas être un motif de plainte. De plus, les espaces dédiés à l'Agritourisme ont été créés dans des salles qui font partie de bâtiments historiques protégés par le Ministère du Patrimoine Culturel et ont été restaurés en conservant leurs dimensions originales.

    "L'extérieur de cet endroit est superbe."
    Alors pourquoi tu te plains ? Quand vous étiez ici, vous vous êtes déclaré enthousiasmé par l'endroit et l'accueil, maintenant vous vous plaignez au lieu de cela...

    "En gros, nous ne nous sentions pas les bienvenus et nous étions les seuls invités à ressentir ça."
    C'est le point : bien qu'on vous ait offert de riches apéritifs et toute notre disponibilité, vous ne semblez pas reconnaissants.
    Vous n'avez pas apprécié notre accueil amical

    "Il y avait beaucoup de règles, mais on peut les déclarer plus diplomatiquement."
    Nous ne donnons pas de règles, mais des informations, il y a des choses qui ici, pour des raisons évidentes que même un enfant pourrait comprendre, ne peuvent pas être faites : jouer au football, allumer des feux et des barbecues, manger dans les espaces communs, apporter de la nourriture personnelle dans la salle à manger et l'espace piscine. Il est de notre devoir de le déclarer avant que nous puissions éviter des discussions désagréables avec les invités et tout le monde, sauf vous, nos invités accepte ces suggestions utiles et apprécie la paix et l'harmonie de ce lieu enchanté.

    SOLIMAGO est un endroit spécial et raffiné pour des invités raffinés que nous sommes fiers d'accueillir ici en amis. Quelqu'un peut l'apprécier, très rarement, quelqu'un comme vous ne le peut pas.

    "Solid charm "

    07/20/2019

    We would not describe the accommodation as a farm, but rather as an ingrown gem behind thick old stone walls.
    Solid from the ambience and extremely quiet.
    Our small apartment was on the ground floor with its own seat in front of the door. The feeling of space was very pleasant due to the ecologically designed walls and the colour scheme.
    The house is friendly managed and the staff very courteous.

    05/04/2019

    We really enjoyed our stay at Solimago for several reasons.....it was self catering if we wanted but there were many good local eateries,, the apartment was very spacious with a separate sitting room, the grounds and pool area were very relaxing after days spent in local towns such as Mantua and Verona and we were able to do all our washing in their enormous laundry. We would highly recommend Solimago.

    "Beautiful area"

    08/21/2018

    We spent a very relaxing week in this beautiful place: the garden is beautiful, the pool also, well equipped and clean. But we regretted the lack of diversity at breakfast, the menu is the same every day ... And there is also lack of facilities for children: there are no games and the rules are very strict at the pool . I recommend this place for couples without children.

    Agriturismo Solimago answers
    Dear Madam, we were very disappointed in your opinion, you were complaining about something that should have brought you a lot of satisfaction, ie rules (imposed by the Italian law on safety in public pools) that we ask our customers to respect. If your children were able to safely go to our pool, it's because the other hosts behaved properly. Diving and playing ball or with inflatable structures in a public pool is prohibited in all civilized countries, including France. As for your complaints about a hypothetical playground for children, we wonder where you've ever read or even guessed that there was one, your wishes and fantasies have nothing to do with our offer that contemplates a lot other entertainment for intelligent and sensitive children who do not need plastic scaffolding in an enchanted place like SOLIMAGO. Here, on Lake Garda, there are many kitsch places, from Gardaland, where to "make fun" children. SOLIMAGO is a very recommended place for children, it depends on the parents ... In Italy breakfast is not a meal, there-nya -no menu, dear madam, our breakfasts are very rich and salutary compounds of: boiled eggs, organic farmhouse cheese, vegan croissants, whole wheat organic bread, mountain butter, organic margarine, various kinds of homemade jams, honey, organic muesli, organic almond milk, fresh cow's milk, yogurt, yoghurt vegan, cake of the day, coffee, tea, aromatic water, fresh fruit from our orchard, fruit juice. If that's not enough, it's a problem for you, madam. All paradise with rules.

    "Fantastic farm with a lot of history and a wonderful pool"

    08/20/2018

    Solimago is run with great attention to detail by two sisters who live on the estate and were seen every day. Our apartment was on the first floor with air conditioning and everything you needed. In the morning there was a delicious, healthy vegetarian breakfast buffet. For lunch and dinner you could eat in your own restaurant, which we have done twice. Also here everything vegetarian, healthy and with a lot of their own garden. The estate is available on a very interesting story that you can experience during a guided tour and then taste the wines that can be produced there. We recommend! !! Our highlight was the pool !! It was built last year and is huge and for children and adults a paradise in a beautiful garden with trees that are over 150 years old. Who wants to enjoy far from mass tourism, the peace and the beautiful things is just right.

    we had a great time in Solimago. the closed enclosure where you can park your car safely is a more appreciated! we feel in a world a little isolated, outside the crowd of tourists and that's good! we were greeted by the owner who speaks french and is very attentive. the pool is breathtaking! one of the most beautiful and pleasant ever seen in an establishment. the possibility of eating vegetarian on the spot is very nice!

    "Strict rules and kids appear not to be welcome "

    07/30/2018

    Upon arrival we were obliged to sign a long list of rules for pool area. For example it's forbidden to use diving glasses or toys in the pool (unless absolutely needed) which is very inconvenient for our kids age 8 and 10. The owners controls compliance quite frequently. It's also forbidden to walk barefoot in the grass or touch the flowers - and many more rules.

    It was surprising to see that the friends of the users did not have to follow the rules.

    When talking to the owners about the rules they said that they are for individual interpretation but we still had to sign.

    The setting made us feel very unwelcome and it was difficult to relax when the owners raised their voices (shouting when someone not followed the rules)

    [...]

    Apart from all this, the Solimago garden and pool is very beautiful and peaceful.

    Agriturismo Solimago answers
    This lady who did not even want to give her documents at check-in, has a strange idea of hospitality and respect for the rules.
    Every state and every company have their own laws and rules.
    We, as managers of a farm-house swimming pool, have the obligation to enforce the rules established by the Italian Civil Code and by the Regional Law on Safety in public pools regarding individual behaviours of guests mostly if children.
    This lady, despite not having signed the regulation, taking advantage of our benevolence, has intensely exploited the garden and the pool, but tells a considerable amount of lies.
    It is not forbidden to use the mask in the pool, it is forbidden to wear glasses.
    There have been no special treatments for other guests every guest for us is special.
    This lady and her family have spent many hours alone in swimming pool, his shy children behaved very well and no one dared to tell them anything.
    In well-tended gardens like ours, flowers can be touched but should not be torn.
    We advise against walking barefoot on the lawn because in this season there may be wasps and other dangerous insects.
    Was she disturbed by our voices? Yes, there was a single case of a small child who tried to get into the swimming pool completely dressed, with shoes and without life jacket, obviously it was immediately blocked, aloud, of course!
    In our reservation offer neither air conditioning was included, nor mosquito nets, she knew very well that she could not ask for them, so we do not understand what she is complaining about.
    If our stunning garden and swimming pool are so beautiful and peaceful it is thanks to our hard work and to all our well-behaving guests who accept without any question the rules and respect them, enjoying their holidays.
    We hope to no longer deal with guests like this lady, unable to enjoy a wonderful place and a high level welcome but focused exclusively on her narcissistic need for personal affirmation and social revenge.

    "A beautiful place with lots of rules"

    08/17/2017

    A beautiful place with very nice and clean furnished apartments. Lots of nature and peace in the area. However, this quiet is maintained in the sense of the operators with very many rules and prohibitions. It is their right and their cause to keep it this way! For families, however, it is not so suitable. On arrival, you will first get a list of prohibitions and rules for the pool and outdoor facilities, which must also be signed. For us, the desired harmony has unfortunately been transformed into a certain impartiality and anxiety. Even if we and our children were able to keep us well, we had always in the backside, hopefully nothing wrong to do. Too bad, because the food was really very good. Although the breakfast buffet is rather disappointed, if one from an agriturismo. Super delicious fresh fruits with yoghurt, fresh, homemade jam ... etc. But per person always only a slice of bread and a croissant ...... extra bread costs extra ..... eggs cost extra ... cheese costs extra ..... etc.da we were already very surprised! The staff was very, very friendly! All in all, a relaxing place to travel as a quiet couple or alone.

    "A treat for body & soul"

    09/04/2016

    From one week two ;-) were we found quite by accident this wonderful place with wonderful people. We have lived in two different apartments in our time. Both of them were clean, newly renovated and decorated and well equipped. The best part was the breakfast, which was served with freshly baked bread, croissants, tarts and sliced ??fruit garden. There are inhouse jam and cheese. Really gorgeous and delicious. Consistently vegetarian. Very individually and lovingly prepared. Solimago a great for your vacation: It is an extensive estate where you can make long walks in a historically interesting place with ice cream parlor, church and playground in the village. It is also not far from the lake and several outdoor pools. One night we were in the restaurant, which at the weekend has open, and treated ourselves to a meal with Solimago-red. All ingredients (vegetables, fruits, herbs) were briefly previously picked fresh in the garden and prepared with love & skill. The chef has to provide courage new creations and combinations. Interesting and something for pleasure and palate. We recommend.
