Villa il Galero

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa il Galero. Cristina’s warm hospitality made us feel instantly at home in this truly beautiful villa. Full of elegance, warmth, and history, it is a place that captures the heart. The setting is stunning, the atmosphere is serene, and we felt genuinely privileged to experience such a special place. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Asolo.

Nothing

Cosy spots to sit and relax dotted around everywhere on the huge estate. Excellent Breakfast on terrace with fantastic view. Beautifully kept interior and gardens and pool area. Excellent Service by Host and entire Team. Asolo old town only 5 minutes on foot away. Located in beautiful hiking, cycling and fine food and Prosecco area.

No shower curtain - but on the other hand, the character of the beautiful bathroom was therefore preserved.

Nice village and surroundings

Despite being the only guests on the property, we were barred from using any of the main villa’s shared spaces simply because we’re Romanian. After enjoying a nearby winery tour where we picked up a bottle of Prosecco and some local cookies we’d hoped to share but as soon as we seated in one of the terraces the owner came to tell us that “Other guests are coming and this is not a gypsy camp” and forced us into a cramped backyard behind the guesthouse—out of sight, with no proper seating. All the while, five beautifully furnished terraces around the villa sat unused. We were forbidden to eat breakfast together as a group and had to shuffle between two kitchens to fetch food. No staff were on duty until “the proper” guests arrived. After we confirmed with the owner if our friends from the guesthouse can join the main villa, they came over and followed the guesthouse rules by making their own breakfast from the provided fridge, while we simply wished to be seated together in a common area—yet were nagged at that it is not ok to do so. The owner told us about how expensive it is to heat the villa, explaining why the radiators stayed cold day and night. Only when a couple of “acceptable” nationality checked in (on night two) did the heating magically come on and we slept comfortably. On top of this, there’s an unexplained 20 kW-per-day electricity cap per room with vague threats of “extra charges” and no meter to track usage, yet the cleaning staff repeatedly left lights blazing after their visits. The grounds and buildings are beautiful—but the owner’s openly racist rules, invasive surveillance, and hidden fees make this place completely unwelcoming. I cannot in good conscience recommend it to anyone. While writing this review, I noticed that the owner started replying on Google Maps to some other guests, justifying her actions and blaming the guests for not knowing the rules. Rules that could’ve been clearly stated or mentioned in a non-racist way to us.

Would totally recommend. Cristina was an excellent host! I am happy we got to stay in La Beretta. Would definitely come back with all my firends and book the whole property and also take advantage of the pool. The property is huge, on a hill in Asolo. With beautiful gardens, patios, space for everyone and everything. It is just a dream.

Amazing place! It is the best place to connect with the historical feeling of Asolo. The houses are big with everything you may need. It is an historical building and the owners have renovated it, keeping all the decorative details of the past, making the stay in this house a unique experience. The house is just few minutes walk from the center, where we could find restaurants and shops. The host is a lovely lady, with italian gentleness that made us feel like home. It is an ideal place for big groups or to make your wedding there, since there is a small old church inside the property. The property is huge with pool and many patios that you can enjoy the beauty of the landscape. It is one of our favorite places that we visited the last years! Thank you again!

Breakfast was exceenbt and all that was needed. It was in a wonderful spot in the house

Nothing. Every comfort was catered for

Nothing can prepare you for just how lovely Villa il Galero is. It's a cluster of buildings built in 1696 on the hill over Asolo. The gardens are fabulous and the views over the surrounding countryside are spectacular. We were in the "apartment" which feels more like a little cottage with 4 rooms and 2 patios. The floors are marble and there is polished plaster on the walls with beautiful (and clearly very old) hand crafted plasterwork designs on the walls and ceilings. It feels incredibly special. Cristina our hostess was a very kind and elegant lady; she really makes you feel welcome and supported and then leaves you alone (which is just how I like it). We texted if we needed anything specific and she would come over. The fridge and table in the kitchen were crammed with breakfast options; a very generous and varied assortment. There was a bath with a shower attachment - but this is an old, historic building so you just get on with it and enjoy all the many, many other benefits. Plentiful hot water and good pressure. 10 minute walk into Asolo with plenty of good dinner options there - and of course places to sample the local Prosecco ;-) There was a wedding party arriving after we left - can't imagine anywhere more beautiful to get married. Lucky them!

We should have booked to stay longer! Seriously what a serene, elegant and special place.
