Wow! A mini paradise that is close to everything you need, the hotel itself and grounds are wonderfully peaceful and idyllic. Staff are exceptional and we loved the themed days - the fruit at the tropical breakfast was a personal favourite. 11/10

Great location!
Great service, attentive staff. A/C was a bit faint and stationed by the door, felt more like a unit. A smidge dated, but great otherwise. Didn’t like that the bathroom had a double sided mirror by the window, which seemed odd, so I covered it. The flusher for the toilet was odd and a bit hard to suppress. Great location walkable to town!

Great hotel, amazing staff
Amazing staff were super accommodating when we had an issue with our room, went out of their way to help resolve the issue. The rooftop with jacuzzi is incredible, has beautiful views of lake Garda. Loved the stay, rooms aren’t sound proof but was able to sleep well with ear plugs

The hotel & staff were excellent. Hotel is well positioned for train and ferry links with a god variety of eating options within a short walk. Down side, the hotel is situated on a fairly busy road which can be noisy during the day. Overall a good hotel.

I stayed for two nights here as part of a week long trip through Italy. The town itself is beautiful and charming. The hotel was very nice, with large rooms, big bathrooms, and a nice private balcony. The breakfast spread was great and there are multiple areas you can sit in, including outside. I happened to be there when it was terrible weather - multiple days of rain and cooler than average weather. Therefore, I was unable to actually use any of the amenities. The pools and hot tub were not open. The rooftop terrace has an amazing view of the lake and surrounding mountains, however, I couldn’t enjoy it due to the weather. This is of course not the hotel’s fault but I was disappointed that I couldn’t enjoy the many amenities since they were a main reason that I chose this property. It is within reasonable walking distance of restaurants and stores and the train station is about a 20 minute walk. My one complaint is that there was a lot of street noise even with the windows closed. However, I enjoyed my stay and hope that I can return sometime to use the pools!

Great spot for tour around Garda Lake
We stayed only two nights but we really enjoyed the location and style of a hotel. Great service and very nice people around. The room was comfortable and clean. Only disadvantages were weak internet connection in the room and the elevator which should be renewed immediately.
