“Elegant Lakeside stay at the Grand Hotel, Gardone Riviera”
Beautiful location right on the shores of Lake Garda One of the highlights was the direct lake access — being able to swim straight from the hotel into the clear waters of Lake Garda. The pool area was equally inviting, offering plenty of space to unwind with stunning views across the lake The hotel grounds are absolutely immaculate, with beautiful flowers and lush gardens that added to the sense of tranquillity

“Classic lake front grand-dame, complete with wrinkles”
Quirky, faded grandeur hotel on the sea front. Delightfully shabby around some of the edges, but like staying in a Wes Anderson movie. Attic room opened directly onto the lake.

“True living the life on Garda”
We seeked to live life on the lake the grand traditional way and choose this hotel. It is classical, cultural and maintains this reputation. Very much away from the tourist hustle, we enjoyed the tranquility and opportunity to be a part of it. Breakfast in abundance, staff always welcoming and accommodating to your needs (ie due to slight walking difficulty our room was re-located near an elevator). They stay provided everything that was expressed in the hotel description. We will return if an future opportunity arises. Remember if eating outside the hotel, you need to book in advance in local restaurants, so not to miss prime time or disappointment.

“Fabulous location, faded glory, awaiting imminent, refit”
The position of this hotel is absolutely unbeatable! Commands a beautiful position alongside Lake Garda, with a charming piazza and plenty of restaurants just outside. The ferry stops right next to the hotel. It is a unique building, very much in the old-fashioned vibe. The pool, on the lake side, is delightful. There are plenty of sunbeds and free towels provided. The bedroom had a balcony overlooking the lake. The bed was large and very comfortable. Good buffet breakfast. Lakeside views were splendid. Good parking facilities just across the road at €20 per day.

“Stunning location, perfect place to chill 👍🏻”
Amazing location, very attentive chap on the front desk who helped us change our room to a more central position; my husband is recovering from surgery and he found it difficult to walk almost 450 meters one way all the time to the room and back. Good breakfast right on the beautiful lakeside.
