Hotel Villa Mulino

My wife and I stayed at the Villa Mulino on a Shearings coach holiday. This was my first coach trip and I wasn't sure what to expect from the accomodation but I was really impressed with the hotel and even more impressed with the amazing staff. There's a great feeling of a warm welcome and energy on arrival. It seems that a lot of the staff have worked at the hotel for a while and clearly recognised and we're happy to see some returning guests. Even as first timers they couldn't do enough for us, always had a smile on their face and time for a chat and a joke. Our room was plenty large enough and very well cleaned each day. The only small thing was the shower cubicle was a touch on the small side for me at 6ft 2. This wasn't a problem for a week's stay but just for awareness. There was a decent selection at breakfast each morning and the dinners we're fine if a little limited in choice picking from a set couple of options each night. The entertainment was good fun and didn't take itself to seriously. The location of the hotel is great. Whilst not on the lake itself it's 5 mins walk from the bus station and 10 mins into the shops, bars and restaurants on the lakeside. It was lovely to take a walk along the lake each evening after dinner before returning for drinks at the well stocked hotel bar. Overall this a good hotel in a good location made even better by the superb staff. By the way, lake Garda and the surrounding area are beautiful and well worth a visit!

Second visit, last one was 9 years ago. Travelled with Shearings again, this time overnight express, arrived around 9.50 Sunday morning left at 15.45 on following Saturday. Hotel well located, although not on lake, short walk, well situated for shops, restaraunts, bus and of course Lake. Checkout 10.00. Wine was 12 euros a litre, 8 euros a half, and 03 euros for bottle of water. Cannot remember price of beers or spirits. Pay your bill at end of holiday, or can pay part way through holiday. Hotel does meals, so can have lunch when you get there. Evening meal you choose the day before. Caters for vegetarians, most days had choice of fish or meat, plenty choice for desserts. Salad bar in evening. Coffee or tea served after evening meal. Entertainment was on every night various forms. Breakfast enough choice, includes eggs, sausage and bacon. Coffee really good. Shower gel provided, but you may still want to bring your own as only sachets . Hotel is kept immaculate, a little dated in parts, and bedroom and bathroom may not be to everyone’s size, but suited us fine. TV in room did not watch, small mini bar. No tea or coffee facilities in room, who cares. Outside seating area, good sized pool. Staff what can I say they are Italian, if you don’t like their way, then stay out of Italy. Wonderful staff at hotel, loved some of the characters. Only downside was our room, loved the small balcony, but if you did not stay up for the entertainment, then you could hear the noise in the room. We are hoping to get booked up for next year, would I recommend of course. Shearings already taking bookings for next year which will fill up fast. Bob was our coach driver 9 years ago, we weren’t on his coach this time, it was his last job before retiring, hotel gave him a good send off.

I just got back from a week at the Villa Mulino Hotel, Garda, Italy. The manager/owner Piero and his staff are very friendly and professional. The food is good and varied. People return visit to this hotel for many good reasons. The room was kept clean and Tina (give us a smile) changed my towels every day even though I didn’t request it. A special thanks to Elena the waitress who kept me supplied with my morning banana (medicinal reasons). Piero for his business like but very friendly manner and for the free use of the mains adapter. Piero also plays varied musical instruments and has many entertainment nights. He has not however got to grips with ordering the weather, but no doubt is working on it. My thanks to you all at Villa Mulino, I had a refreshing holiday, I hope you have a successful season. George Watson on the 16th of May 2019. Where do you all get your energy from?, Grazia.
