Why people love it
- Flo and Davide. The owners are named in many reviews. Guests describe a personal welcome and time for a chat, and one group traveling with motorcycles and a trailer says Davide helped find a place to park the trailer.
- Breakfast. Guests describe a varied breakfast on the lake terrace. One July 2026 guest called the buckwheat pie divine.
- Pool and beach. Reviewers like the pool under olive trees, a hot tub and the private beach with loungers. A 2026 guest notes chilled water is provided free of charge.
- Lake views. Rooms with balconies overlooking the lake are praised, and a September 2026 guest suggests booking a lake-view room.
Why they come back
"This year marked our eighth stay at Villa Carmen. For us, it means: Arrive and your vacation begins!"
The worst thing guests say
In April 2025 one guest said a deposit paid for a 2020 holiday was never honored after Covid, and described a refund dispute. Older stayers mention the hotel showing its age (2022) and a steep driveway (October 2025). No cleanliness or safety complaints appear in the 2026 reviews.
Insider tips
- Book a lake-view room early: guests say they sell out.
- The driveway is steep and the beach is across a road, so watch for cars when crossing.
- Prices at the hotel's restaurant and EV charger were called reasonable in September 2026.
Who it's for: couples and families who want personal hosts, a pool and private beach close to town.
Skip it if you want a large, modern hotel.
