We booked a stay at the Villa Sasa due to the reviews, description, and pictures we saw on Expedia. The drive to the resort was very urban and not at all what we expected. It is not close to any main street that you can walk by the lake, was difficult to find, and honestly just not what we expected after seeing pictures and reviews online. The receptionist, and those working at the front desk were very nice, but failed to explain any options as far as closest place to possibly swim in the lake, which main streets in the center of town or nearby or worth going to to walk around for reviews and good dinner, you really were left to google and find this information on your own. They do give you an electronic voucher for free public bus transportation, but no real direction of which stops are beneficial to go to which stops are good for walking around to shop or to grab dinner. Once you were at the resort, you were pretty much secluded to only the grounds of the resort as walking around there, and the nearby streets did not have anything.

For me, the biggest reason why you come to Villa Sassa is the majestic view or the surrounding areas. It's a scene out of a movie. Beautiful with a lake view. The only thing that could be better is having more kid friendly food options and a major paint job of the buildings, as it looks outdated and takes away from the aesthetic view of the property.

Peaceful Getaway with Stunning Views and Relaxatio

We had a wonderful experience – this hotel offers a luxurious and relaxing stay with excellent spa facilities, a beautiful outdoor pool overlooking the lake, a great jacuzzi, and a spacious gym. The hotel was not crowded, which added to the peaceful atmosphere. It truly has everything you need for a quiet, rejuvenating vacation. The only downsides were the food, which was just average for a 4-star hotel, and the overpriced bistro – better to dine in town. Still, breakfast was good, and overall, this place has the potential to become our regular summer getaway.

Immaculate, spacious room, and comfortable bed. Strong, hot, shower. Decent air conditioning. The only oddity is lack of microwave, but you get an oven instead (and food reheated that way tastes better, anyway). If you like windows open, the road by the property is not quiet on weekday mornings, and there are no reliable spots to find food anywhere near the property. But that's kind of an Italy thing, anyway. Learn the bus system before you arrive -- it's state-of-the-art and your best bet in the hills.

We stayed at the suite room and that was amazing. The view was amazing. The bathroom was a little dirty the dloor(hairs) but the rest was perfect. The kitchen was great but they don’t have plates, silverware, etc. So you can’t cook there.
