Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Fabulous Fabulous Fabulous. This hotel is 5 star with the kindest, most helpful staff, phenomenal location and superb breakfast. Brunella, Frederico and Gloria were especially helpful to us after my husband had an accident, offering their support and local knowledge to make the situation so much better. Located right on the lake, it is like being in paradise. Wish we could have stayed longer.”
“Such a lovely location, walking distance to plenty of restaurants and shops, and right across from the beach. The staff were so helpful and friendly. I asked about gluten free options at breakfast and they brought me a whole basketful of muffins and bread! We made use of the free shuttle bus to Bardolino to help get around the area”
“Stayed there with a group of 25 people from Oct 14th-16th. They will very accommodating with a large group. Food was great and service was fantastic. The location and views of the lake was fantastic.”
