The Villa Magistrale has been canceled…
Ok...I just don`t understand why I just get now these information from you? And also about the cancelation I Did not get any information...I just saw at my Bankacount that I got the money back and did not understand why. I needed to call you to make sure that there has been a cancelation. And also was your company no help at all to find something new. You just said sorry and that this is not longer your problem. I had so much trouble to find someone who could help me and it took three days to get in contact with booking. I would have understand it if there has been a cancelation and you would offer directly something knew but you just said it`s not your problem anymore and here is your money back. That`s no service und no safety at all because you made the contract. I´m really sorry but I can not recommend your campany because it´s not safe and there was no offer at all from you to find a solution. No good service!

Dear Marleen,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We are genuinely sorry for the stress and inconvenience caused by this situation.
We would like to clarify that your reservation was unfortunately affected because Villa Maestrale was sold by its owner approximately one month before your arrival. This was completely outside our control and was certainly not a cancellation we wanted or planned.
As soon as we were informed, we contacted Booking.com and worked with them to arrange an alternative accommodation for you. We also incurred a substantial fee to Booking.com in connection with the relocation assistance. We fully understand that having your original accommodation changed during the high season was frustrating, especially for a family, and we sincerely regret the inconvenience this caused.
However, describing the situation as a “scam” or saying that the property is “not safe” is misleading. The property was sold, which unfortunately made the original reservation impossible to honour. There was no fraudulent intent or attempt to deceive.
We are sorry that, despite our efforts to assist with the relocation, you were left with a negative impression.
Best regards,
Happy.Rentals
Ideally situated apartment …
We have stayed in this apartment block before so we had a good idea about the facilities. It is ideally situated next to the station and cable car with fabulous views. It is quite comfortable although the sofa is not to be honest. It would really benefit from having an oven instead of a dishwasher as the area is extremely expensive to eat out in. We were delighted that the pool was open this year, a great bonus. The only downside was the lift was out of action for 4.5 days which was very difficult as I’d hurt my Achilles and had to go up and down 6 floors anytime we wanted to go out. I did contact happy rentals and eventually it was fixed. We really appreciated the bottle of rose to welcome us to the apartment.

Thank you very much for your detailed review and for choosing to stay with us again. We’re pleased that you enjoyed the location, the beautiful views, the pool and the welcome touch on arrival.
We’re particularly sorry about the lift being out of service for several days. We understand how difficult this must have been, especially with an Achilles injury and an apartment on the sixth floor. We’re glad that, after you contacted Happy.Rentals, the issue was eventually resolved, although we appreciate the inconvenience it caused during a significant part of your stay.
Thank you also for your comments regarding the sofa and the apartment facilities. Feedback from returning guests is particularly useful, as you are able to compare the experience over time.
We appreciate your 4-star rating and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again.
Best regards,

A spacious
A spacious, modern, new flat.Unfortunately, the lift wasn’t working. It would be good to at least fit a handrail next to the stairs. We couldn’t get into the underground car park, but luckily there were enough parking spaces on the street. It would be good to have a few towel hooks in the bathroom.

We’re glad you appreciated the spacious, modern apartment. At the same time, we’re sorry that the lift was not working and that you were unable to access the underground parking, as we understand that these inconveniences can affect the overall comfort of a stay.
We also appreciate your practical suggestions regarding a handrail by the stairs and additional hooks in the bathroom. Feedback like this is useful in identifying small improvements that can make our accommodations more comfortable and functional for future guests.

A true gem above Lugano
A true gem above Lugano!
The location in the historic village of Brè is unique, and the art exhibitions throughout the village make it a great open-air museum. The view of Lake Lugano is beautiful, and nature is right on your doorstep. The apartment leaves nothing to be desired: great amenities and very comfortable beds. A car is an advantage, but you are also well-connected on foot and by public transport. We will definitely come back!

And knowing that you would definitely come back is the best compliment we could receive. We’ll be very happy to welcome you again!

The place is clean and neat ,greenery is well taken care of, villas in good condition, beach is amazing including the taverna. Staff is nice. The only downside is the Internet, installing the WiFi routers on top of villas is a bad idea, inside the villa no Internet you have to sit on the terrace to do your job. In a remote area like that and with weak mobile signal I think it is a problem to be reviewed. Apart that, very nice and relaxing holidays. Will be back!

We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the Wi-Fi connection. Reliable internet access is increasingly important to our guests, especially for those who may need to work during their stay, so your comments about the signal inside the villa are valuable and will be taken into consideration.
It’s wonderful to hear that, despite this inconvenience, you enjoyed your experience enough to want to return. We’ll be very happy to welcome you back!

The apartment is very clean and safe
The apartment is very clean and safe, and it has two bathrooms, which is good. However, it is a bit far from the city center, and the key collection and check-out process is inconvenient, as the keys are picked up from an office located a short distance from the accommodation.

Dear Wafaa,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you found the Garda Lake View Apartment clean and safe, and that the two bathrooms were a convenient feature during your stay.
Regarding the location, the apartment is situated outside the immediate city centre, shown on the map of the portal where you booked.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding the key collection and check-out procedure. The office is located a short distance from the apartment, and we understand that collecting and returning the keys there may be less convenient than having everything handled directly at the property.
Thank you again for staying with us. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Lake Garda in the future.
Best regards,
Happy.Rentals
The view is fantastic
The view is fantastic. You can see the sea even from the bed and the kitchen area, not just from the terrace. It was a very nice welcome, we got muffins and mineral water. There was everything we could need. The sea was across the road and you could go swimming right away, no need to go to the beach. There is a hot and cold shower at the gate. There is plenty of space on the terrace. The space inside is also nice and spacious, well furnished.

The holiday flat is well equipped and modern throughout, perfectly suited for a group of four. Good amenities for self-catering. It is perfectly located within the old centre of Riva, lying rather quiet in a pedestrian's zone, yet close to busier places and the harbour.
