Cosy stay in Lake Garda

The Hotel was spotless and very spacious. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We had both the continental and the cooked breakfasts during our stay, which both kept us going until our dinner. Rooms were cool in the heat we didn't have fans or aircon. Both rooms were quiet at night and to open windows on to small balconies was perfect each morning.

A truly wonderful stay. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, and the entire place is spotlessly clean. The decor is simple and beautiful, creating a very peaceful atmosphere, perfect for resting after a long drive. The location is ideal, just few minutes from the lake, and the view from the window was a lovely bonus. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended for a quiet and authentic stay!

Delightful stay in beautiful hostel.

We had a wonderful four night stay here at Ostello delle Cartiere! Firstly the house and the room was splendid, the beds were extremely comfortable and the room was spacious. The Ostello building is beautiful and full of artwork, making the entire stay feel very quaint. In a stunning location only five minutes to the nearest beach which was quiet and had wonderful views of the mountains. During our time here, we did some local walks which the owners of the Ostello helped us with and gave us all the information we needed. Finally, the buffet style breakfast, as well as the cooked breakfast and homemade coffee which was available to us every morning, was delicious and extremely worth it. There was a wide selection of Italian bakes and homemade cakes as well as fruit, yogurts, toasts and jams. The cooked ‘salato’ breakfast (prosciutto, scrambled eggs, cooked tomato and cooked bread) was delicious and filled us up for our busy days here! We will definitely be returning to this stunning location and incredible hospitality. Grazie Mille!

The place is authentic and cute. The staff is super nice and welcoming and we want to thank them for the hard work they do at the hotel 24/7! There’s an own yard with a parking space, a garden and cute animals. The breakfast is nice. The location is good. We had a room with a balcony and a nice view. There’s a shared kitchen where you can cook smth (there’s cutlery, plates etc).

A beautiful stay at a convenient location at a reasonable price with super friendly hosts.

Everything! The hosts are super nice.. They make the place homely yet there is no lack of privacy. The rooms are very clean and with an aesthetic touch. The garden is a nice place to chill after a long day. The location is close to a beach and is really good for people without cars, very convenient to reach from nearby bus stops.

Perfect place for solo travelers 🌹

Super cosy place, perfect when you're travelling solo, I felt very safe there as a woman, Owners are super kind people, helped me even to remove a tick❤️ they have 2 sweet dogs. It's located next to the bus stop, where you can go to the north or south part of the lake. The hostel is also close to the lake. The room was super clean and had everything I needed, I had a balcony with a great view and could use a garden! Kitchen with kettle, microwave and cutlery, so you don't have to bring anything with you. I would recommend it to everyone! Very good price in that area.I could decide how many breakfasts I would take, they are served from 8-10, and prepared after I came up in the dinning room, even though I was in super rush for the bus, the Owner still cared and prepared it for me🥰

A very nice hostel with a large garden and a small cafe. Rooms basic, but clean. Bathrooms spacious. The whole facility could be refreshed a bit, but it is not any issue. There is also a fully equiped kitchen with a refrigerator on each floor. In addition, next door is a very nice pizzeria. The price is also competitive, everywhere close - I highly recommend it! Very nice hosts !!!
