We just returned from nearly a month in Italy which meant staying in multiple hotels, agriturismo…read morefarms, B&Bs and a medieval town. Hands down, we would put Locanda San Vigilio at the top of our favorite places to stay AND eat. The hotel has been in the same family for over 500 years, always a hotel and if our experience is evidence of the hospitality, always wonderful. The location could not be better as it is perched on a point, surrounded by water on three sides, on Lake Garda. Beautiful.
The service is impeccable. We were greeted by the current owner/manager who welcomed us in the parking lot and escorted us to reception where all details were handled with efficiency and a smile. It made no difference who we encountered the interaction was always friendly.
Imagine the best meal you have ever enjoyed, now double it. That was our experience in the restaurant. They have set my new standard for pasta, there is no way to describe how delicate my ravioli was, sublime.
When we left I felt like we were leaving family behind. I would return in a heartbeat.
