We greatly appreciated the quality of the welcome, the interactions with Maria Cristina, a very friendly person, as well as her small family. The room is spacious, very clean and has a private terrace with access to the pool and a magnificent view of the vineyards. The breakfast is also of very good quality. We highly recommend this accommodation.

The accommodation is a bit inland (10 minutes to Sirmione and 15 minutes to Desenzano del Garda by car). A car is definitely a must, as there are no bus connections to the city - BUT: for those who want it a bit quieter (after various excursions and in the evening), this is the right place. The garden with pool was a dream. And since the accommodation only has 3 rooms (we had 2 of them), we almost always had the pool to ourselves. The accommodation is perfect for excursions around Lake Garda. And the landlord (Christina) always had good tips (regarding excursions, restaurants) for us. Breakfast: buffet - offers everything you need; coffee is served. Highly recommended - we will gladly come back.

The quality of the accommodations and genuine friendliness and helpfulness of our hosts cannot be overstated. Access to the property was simple and secure. This location proved to be excellent for day excursions via car to various locations around beautiful lake Garda. Our hosts provided wonderful advice and as a result we visited locations not on the plan but much better. We spent 3 marvelous days here and took advantage of the wonderful and relaxing pool and secluded yard out our back door. This B&B is a real gem. If you go, go to the trattoria near there, Cascina Della Taverna. Great food, ambiance & the best gelato, chocolate & strawberry you’ll ever taste.

The best Bed and Breakfast Corte San Michele. 2 weeks to have fun and relax in a very comfortable Bed and Breakfast with a pool. The room and bathroom were very clean and the bed was lovely. The breakfast provided by Monika was good: there was a wide choice (various pastries, ham, cheese, eggs, fruit, yogurt, muesli, sweets, and croissants - and great coffee). The owner Christina was very kind and sweet, nothing was too much for her to make our stay enjoyable. The location is in the countryside in a vineyard (just outside the city), very quiet and idyllic. The value for money: clearly more performance and quality rather than price. We highly recommend to everyone the Bed and Breakfast Corte San Michele.

Beautiful bed and breakfast. Relaxing. Clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Strategically located because all the places are easily reachable. The pool is definitely an added value that, at the end of the day after the excursions, helps to regenerate. Beautiful beautiful beautiful. Congratulations.

La Corte is a lovely place. Surrounded by greenery, close to everything yet in complete tranquility. The structure is beautiful, spacious rooms decorated with taste, a pleasant scent of flowers, impeccable cleanliness. The pool is very enjoyable after a hot day at Gardaland. The breakfast is varied with all kinds of sweet and savory products. Cristiana, the owner, is a very kind person, very attentive to guests' requests and always available. An address not to be missed absolutely.

Excellent experience! The owner responded quickly to our request and has been very kind and helpful since the booking. As soon as we arrived at Corte San Michele, she welcomed us warmly and we found the same hospitality in the property, which is meticulously cared for and super clean. The property is inside a courtyard with a beautiful lawn and many flowers, there is space to park the car and at the back of the rooms you can access a splendid pool that extends over a green lawn surrounded by well-kept flowers and flowerbeds. The room was spacious and very well furnished, with light tones and very, very welcoming. The bathroom was also equipped with every comfort. The breakfast room is intimate and excellently served by the owners: good apple pie, excellent croissants. We regretted staying only one night as we were passing through, surely when we return to the lake we will stop here. We found our ideal place! Congratulations indeed. You are a delightful family. We also send a special greeting to little Isabella, the owner's daughter. See you soon! Francesco, Irene and Caterina.

Enchanting place surrounded by greenery and silence, yet close to Desenzano. Ancient farmhouse renovated with great taste and attention to detail in every environment, from the rooms to the common areas and the garden with pool. Excellent and abundant breakfast, impeccable service. Excellent cleanliness. Very kind owners. We will definitely come back.

We felt very comfortable here - the room was very clean, breakfast was very good and there was a large selection (various pastries, ham, cheese, eggs, fruit, yogurt, muesli, cakes and croissants - and very good coffee). The owners and staff were also very nice and attentive to make our stay pleasant. The location: in the countryside (a bit outside the city), therefore very quiet and idyllic. As for the value for money: definitely more value than price. Highly recommended.

Good morning, I stayed only for one night with my girlfriend and it was a pleasant experience. The location is stunning, ideal for a total relaxation period. Immersed in the countryside among the vineyards. Very familiar and welcoming environment, clean and very pleasant structure. Cristina turned out to be a very kind and friendly person, she welcomed us wonderfully. We will definitely come back. Highly recommend.

Truly spectacular location, everything extremely well-finished, clean, and fragrant. We stayed in two beautiful rooms on the ground floor overlooking the garden and pool, which will surely have great charm in the summer. Excellent breakfast, top homemade cake. The owners are discreet and delightful; the location is a bit outside Desenzano, but everything is easily reachable by car in 5 minutes. Relaxation guaranteed.

We arrived at 12 and were greeted very warmly by Cristina. The house seems to be newly renovated and we had a nice, very clean room. The bathroom was also very pleasant with a spacious shower and a nice shelf for storing cosmetics, etc. There is also a good hairdryer. Initially, we jumped into the pool in the garden and enjoyed the tranquility - the garden is surrounded by vines. Since the B&B is still very new, there are probably very comfortable sun loungers, but still no trees or umbrellas. Cristina advised us very well regarding beaches on the lake and good restaurants nearby. For breakfast, there is coffee and tea (green tea is only flavored), freshly made fruit salad, toast with jam and honey, and various sweet pastries. We brought our own ham on the 2nd day. In the small refrigerator in the breakfast kitchen, we could put our drinks. However, it was not particularly cold. Cristina kept our cool packs for the journey back in her freezer and we were handed them by the very nice girl who makes breakfast in the morning. A general guest refrigerator with a freezer would be a good purchase.

We had a great time from every perspective: hospitality, cleanliness, tranquility, excellent breakfast, with a great taste in the furnishings and details. You immediately feel at home. The owners are simple, nice, and friendly. A big good luck to Cristina for her new adventure. We will definitely return. See you soon!
