    Pros +

    • Loved the location and ease of parking. Right on the lake With a beach and along the walking /biking path
    • Terrace restaurant was very beautiful and pleasant to dine in (during late August). We had all breakfasts and some of our dinners there.Private beach for hotel guests is nice and very comfortable.A parking garage was available (for extra cost) but we didn't have to use it, since there was plenty of parking available in the nearby lot.Nice boardwalk for walks, by the lake, to Bardolino.Staff were very nice and helpful.
    • The staff was friendly, professional, and efficient. We felt welcome at all times, and things were so smooth that we did not run into any complications. The staff was so accommodating that we felt safe and taken care of, which was important as we were traveling with a 5-month old baby, so we did not have to worry about anything.We also liked the location: it sits between Bardolino and Garda, so it was roughly a 15 min walk to each place for us. This was amazing, as we could do our daily walks and see new places.The breakfast was good and they offered a rich variety of meals. As for the amenities, we spent most of the time by the lake. It is great that you have a designated area and there are trees too (important with a baby).

    Cons -

    • Many guests reserve their seats by the lake and leave their spots unattended. It is very clear they were not in the lake, but instead they just wanted to get ahead of the rest and save the place for later. There are signs prohibiting this, though most people ignore them, I guess. We could find seats but were literally the last ones available, and some people after us had to walk back to the hotel. While this is not the hotel's fault, maybe it can be enforced a bit better.
    • Breakfast wasn’t the best, not bad, just not the best (cold beans/bacon/sausages specifically), but that’s to be expected with any buffet style breakfast any hotel might put on, this did not detract from my stay in any way
    • Housekeeping staff walked in even with DND signs on the door. Food was not to our likening. I would say „typical German holiday maker food“. Not really authentic Italien. Our Cesar salad was more bread than salad. Chicken was hard to find in there. Burger from our son also not very good. We ate there once, that was enough.

    Amazing property right on the lake. Pool and beach. Staff was attentive.

    10MarkPosted on: 9-30-2024

    Great location. Very nice rooms and bathrooms. Great private beach. Excellent breakfast. Plenty of parking space.Highly recommended!!!

    9KevinPosted on: 9-12-2024

    Location, ideally located between Garda and Bardolino with a lovely picturesque walk to either town, safe and well lit at night.The staff were very friendly and more than happy to help with any requests or assistance, there was even a free ride to Bardolino if you didn’t want to walk, and to a sister hotel that offered additional wellbeing services.Facilities, very nice pool, sauna, gym, bar and garden, and of course the private section of beach exclusive to guests for lounging by the lake

    Breakfast wasn’t the best, not bad, just not the best (cold beans/bacon/sausages specifically), but that’s to be expected with any buffet style breakfast any hotel might put on, this did not detract from my stay in any way

    Great personnel as they helped me a lot as i twisted my ankle on Day 1. They organised a doctor appointment and were very helpful in adjusting to my situation, providing room service etc. Great food and location is amazing.

    9FabianPosted on: 8-9-2024

    Clean and quiet rooms. Location for lake can‘t be topped. Right on the lake with private beach. Beach is not only pebbles but also sand. Most others in the area are either gras or pebbles. Property is in quiet location and easy accessible.

    Housekeeping staff walked in even with DND signs on the door. Food was not to our likening. I would say „typical German holiday maker food“. Not really authentic Italien. Our Cesar salad was more bread than salad. Chicken was hard to find in there. Burger from our son also not very good. We ate there once, that was enough.

    Location. Private parking spaces. Private beach and pool. Friendly staff. Available activities

    Restaurant had limited hours. Bed mattress was not the greatest. Our rooms were on the east side of the hotel where elevators are not designed to reach. So we struggled with luggage up and down.

    8TPosted on: 7-23-2024

    Location! Very friendly staff.

    The food. It was okay but a walk up the drive to the nearby pizza restaurant had much better food.

    10DraganPosted on: 7-22-2024

    The ladies at the reception are very friendly and kind. Fantastic location, nice hotel beach, excellent parking within the hotel.

    The price of accommodation could be a bit low.

    9RotemPosted on: 7-14-2024

    Excellent location, friendly and available staff at all hours, very clean and welcoming.The breakfast was vast and varied, and there are sup and kyaks that guests can use in the beautiful comfortable adjacent private beach.The beautiful beach is one if it’s best adventages!Also the hotel is directly above the pedestrian walkway around the lake, no road in between.

    The atmosphere and design are a bit older. The room is basic and just one narrow window so not very lit.

    9ArnisPosted on: 7-4-2024

    Location, comfort, breakfast, parking included, private beach.

    Great position, very well run hotel. We felt very supported by the helpful reception staff. Excellent breakfast

    I would have liked a balcony. I hadn’t realised that there wasn’t one. My mistake.

    8UnknownPosted on: 10-4-2023

    This hotel was beyond our expectations! The staff - especially Regina - were very very friendly, kind and helping ! Every question we had was answered and they helped us with local hidden gems.Breakfast was very nice . Fresh fruits and granola every morning . The juice maker was my favorite.We were also served at the beach with drinks - very lovely ! Thank you again for everything!

    Nothing to mention !

    9JeremyPosted on: 9-12-2023

    Splendid lakeside location with plenty of sunloungers. Breakfast was good with plenty of choices

    The food in the restaurant was ok but not outstanding. At breakfast the scrambled eggs were rather variable and the bacon greasy.

    9PaulPosted on: 7-30-2023

    Everyting was first class - Staff were really helful. Facilities & location excellent - Breakfast was marvelous

    7TrondPosted on: 7-23-2023

    Good

    Very rude lady at the reception. Accusing us for a number of things; missing keycards, wrong booking etc.You were guilty until proven otherwise..

    9LaurencePosted on: 5-12-2023

    Almost everything really! This is just the place we needed after such a long road trip. Pure relaxation by the lake, superb views, impeccable room and service. I could have stayed longer! The receptionist and waiters were all very friendly and helpful. We swam in the lake (cold and wonderful) which is directly in front of the hotel. Dinner was wonderful (spaghetti with vongole, we kept it simple!), reasonable priced. Breakfast is included with many choices. the hotel caters mostly for German tourists, so very efficient service! Free parking behind the hotel.

    The capuccino in the morning was disappointing. Almost cold...

    7JimPosted on: 8-15-2022

    Breakfast was excellent, plenty of options. The location is OK, 15/20 min walk to Bardolino, however, you are surrounded by campsites. The location is very popular with Germans and Dutch so you may want to brush up on some language skills if you want to converse with other holiday makers. The hotel is also very quiet.

    Limited atmosphere around the hotel in the evening. Perfect if you want a really quiet holiday.
