Hey from Dory

Member since September 2013 | 32,810 hits

La vecchia latteria (The old dairy) is a place rich in history and memories: a country house surrounded by meadowsand green hills. Its name pays homage to the genius and courage of Gianna Pozzi and Domenico Negri. In the Seventies they turned a small farm into a resourceful dairy business. Everybody knew “Gianna the milkwoman”. Every morning, “without setting the alarm clock a single time, ” as she used to say, at 6 o’ clock sharp she set off with her van for home deliveries. With her hearty, friendly nature, Gianna had immediately understood the great potential of the area, therefore, besides the dairy business, she worked as a hospitable landlady. Her house has always been the favorite destination of fond tourists running away from heat waves and city chaos to enjoy peace and relaxation in San Michele.

In 2013, forty years later, the house was completely restored and transformed into La vecchia latteria Bed & Breakfast. Dori, who was born in that house, runs the Bed & Breakfast with her husband Gino, after venturing with him on a series of successful tourist businesses. Their passion and their professionalism are now at the disposal of their new guests. As for La vecchia latteria, its story still continues today.

A series of activities are available at a stone’s throw from La vecchia latteria Bed & Breakfast, with no need to take your car. They include diving in the swimming pool, relaxing walks, bike rides and exciting hang gliding flights.

The village of San Michele is situated in one of the most beautiful valleys included within the territory of the Alto Garda Natural Park. It is highly appreciated for its peacefulness, but at the same time it has a strategic position, that makes it possible to easily reach neighboring places.

The most diverse wishes can be satisfied in the vicinity, where you can find the shores of the splendid Lake Garda and the most famous amusement parks in Italy, Gardaland, Caneva Acqua Park and Movieland. Adventurous trekking routes and long rounds in the best golf courses are an option for those who love sport. The most demanding travelers staying at La vecchia latteria Bed & Breakfast can enjoy cultural visits to the small towns of Sirmione and Riva del Garda, or to splendid art cities, such as Brescia, Mantova and Verona. Renowned archaeological sites such as Catullo’s Thermal Baths and the Vittoriale degli italiani (Shrine of Italian Victories) are preferred destinations of tourists coming from all over the world. Let's not forget body care, with all the opportunities offered by a number of sulfur springs and spas.

Excellent structure located just above Gardone. The room is very spacious, the bathroom even more so. Impeccable cleanliness and abundant breakfast, both sweet and savory. The owner is an exquisite and very kind person, always ready to give excellent advice.

We stayed a few days at La Vecchia Latteria. A welcoming place where peace reigns supreme. Excellent breakfasts by the owner Dory. The place is also very convenient for those who want to reach Monte Spino, Monte Pizzocolo or the flight field for paragliding. We will definitely come back!

We are very happy! Just 10 minutes from Gardone Sopra and the Vittoriale, and 15 minutes from Gardone Riviera. The room and the property are very well cared for, with warm and comfortable furnishings. The room is spacious and fresh, equipped with a little balcony, a large and comfortable bathroom, and everything is in excellent condition. There is a fridge, a kettle, and a large wardrobe. The garden is stunning, well-kept and relaxing, and you can also have breakfast outdoors. The breakfast is fantastic, prepared with care by the very kind Mrs. Dori. There are many delicacies to taste. The atmosphere is relaxing and attention to detail, including the recovery of family objects and stories, really makes a difference. The property is easily accessible, with private parking and two restaurants nearby. There are also various trails to explore in the area. The microclimate here is extraordinary! There is silence, tranquility, and coolness. The village of San Michele offers a perfect microclimate, surrounded by greenery, between the lake and the mountains. The view from the panoramic point near the church of San Michele is unmissable both day and night. Bar Sercol is excellent, we recommend the 'pinsa'. Please note that the upstairs is not accessible to disabled people and, unfortunately for us, animals are not allowed (which is legitimate).

Stayed for two nights in this fantastic B&B. Mrs. Dory and her husband are super helpful and always available for any need. The structure is new, with spacious, delightful, and clean rooms. The surrounding environment is spectacular: peace and coolness. The breakfasts prepared by Dory are excellent and abundant. My girlfriend and I had a great time and can't wait to come back. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the weekend you made us spend at your establishment.

sara

I stayed here for a weekend to visit the lakeside and the Vittoriale degli Italiani. The location is excellent: close to the center and also to neighboring towns, with restaurants and shops nearby. A car is essential for getting around, and the only thing to consider is that the b&b is located in a slightly hilly area with narrow streets. Mr. Antonio is very kind and helpful, offering a plentiful breakfast with fresh products! Great! The property is new, extremely clean, equipped with air conditioning and a refrigerator for guests, and located in a quiet and peaceful place. Recommended!

Located higher up than Lake Garda, this B&B is a gem in how well it is maintained, both outside and inside. Mrs. Dory, friendly and sunny, has had great taste in the choice of floors, bathrooms, wall color, furniture, and accessories. Outside there is plenty of greenery and many flowers. Parking space is not lacking. The breakfast is plentiful and there are many homemade products, including bread and jam. The only problem I had was with connectivity (I have Vodafone), but the Wifi is good. The place is recommended.

rosalia

Delightful rooms in a charming place. Dory was adorable, very kind, and truly helpful. She even gave us some discount coupons for the visits we had planned. The area is reachable by a pleasant road in the highest part of Gardone, with truly spectacular views. The rooms are well-kept, spotless, and really spacious. Despite the delicate moment due to Covid, the organization and cleanliness are impeccable. The breakfast is served following the current hygiene standards, but it maintains all the warmth of the Italian breakfast, thanks to the homemade pastries and fresh products. It was a very pleasant overnight stay, and we are grateful to Dory for the warm welcome.

The answer from the host:
Gentilissima Rosalia Mi rallegra sapere che è stato un pernottamento piacevole. La ringrazio di cuore per aver apprezzato la mia struttura, spero di averla ancora mia ospite in altra occasione. Quello che faccio lo faccio con il cuore. Grazie ancora, ed in bocca al lupo per il suo lavoro. Dory.

Congratulations to Dory because she managed to convey her passion with simplicity and sobriety. Clean rooms, excellent hospitality; if we really want to find a flaw, it is the distance from the lake - 5 minutes by car.

Beautiful property about 5 km from Gardone Riviera with a winding road. Very peaceful location with several restaurants in the area where you can have dinner without necessarily going down to the lake. Excellent hospitality from Dory. The only slightly sore point for us were the mattresses a bit too soft, but it's a matter of habit. Thank you Dory for the wonderful weekend!

We stayed 2 nights at La Vecchia Latteria. The room was spacious, nicely decorated, with a small fridge and a TV. The bathroom was very clean. Nearby, there are some restaurants. Dory is very cheerful and available for any information. The breakfast consists of a buffet with homemade cakes, jam, sweet and savory options. Everything was perfect. Parking is available. In terms of location, it takes 20-30 minutes to reach Salò driving slowly. We enjoyed being away from the crowd, in the calm mountains. I recommend it.
