We spent 2 days here as part of a 5 week touring holiday through France, Italy, Austria and Germany. We actually were not expecting much from the hotel or the food as the price was quite reasonable. We were so impressed with everything. The room was nice with a lovely lake view although I felt the bed was a little on the firm side. The air con worked really well or you could just leave the balcony door open as it was generally quite peaceful outside. The staff were all very nice, in particular the hard working waiters in the dining room. Eating outside on the patio with such an amazing view, you would expect to pay top prices, made such a pleasant evening. We booked half board and for less that €30 each you got a 5 course meal, a bottle of water and half a bottle of the house wine which was quite good and drinkable. The food was simple fare but all very tasty, good quality and nicely presented, we were so impressed, could not fault a thing, everything cooked to perfection. You have to choose what you are going to eat in the morning at breakfast and the choice changes every day. The breakfast is also quite extensive although got to say that the coffee was not brilliant. We chose the hotel because we wanted good parking for my husbands sports car which we got, outside parking as well as an indoor garage with decent spaces. To get to the different places on the lake was a little trickier, you don’t realise how big a lake this is until you actually get here. We wanted to go to Limone & Malcesine. We got the bus and ferry timetables from the girls at reception. You have to walk about 10 minutes up the lovely promenade and then cross the road to an information office here. This is right next to the bus stop and you can buy your bus tickets from the info place. The buses run approximately every half hour. We caught the 10.30 bus to Malcesine which took about 15-20 mins. A short walk to the port and the first ferry you get to is one called “Amigos’ which leaves on the hour and takes 20 mins to get to Limone (return €9). We stayed a couple of hours and caught the ferry back to Malcesine (again on the hour). You can then either retrace your steps back by bus or there is a ferry (€3) which takes you to Assenza, does not stop here very often so check your times, but roughly 3pm and 5pm. When you get off at Assenza you can then walk about 10-15 mins along the promenade and back to the hotel. The hotel also has its own little beach and a swimming pool but we did not use either. Would definetly recommend for a couple of night stay in Lake Garda.
