Poiano Garda Resort Appartamenti ★★★

"We had a very disappointing experience and cannot recommend this resort. The apartments have a strong, persistent musty smell, which was confirmed not only by us but also by other guests. It feels like a mix of old furniture, humidity and possibly mold. Our first apartment (C25) also had ants in the kitchen, which we documented. After multiple complaints and waiting more than 3 hours with two small children, we were moved to another apartment (C23). Unfortunately, the situation did not improve. The second apartment had: • the same strong unpleasant smell • visible humidity damage on the wall • and a constant water pipe noise during the night, starting around 5 a.m., making it impossible to sleep We were shown additional apartments, but all had the same strong smell. Even departing guests confirmed this issue. Despite all these problems and multiple attempts to find a solution, no acceptable accommodation was provided. In the end, we had to check out early. What is most disappointing is that the hotel refused any refund for the unused nights, even though the conditions were clearly below acceptable standards. This is absolutely not what you expect from a 4-star resort."

Hotel DeVille ★★★★★

"We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary at the Hotel De Ville and could not have made a better choice. Set in a beautiful location above Garda and yet a short walk from the local village. Intimate and with wonderful staff this hotel exceeded our expectations. Great rooms, a lovely spa with available treatments and excellent food. Heaven"

Madrigale Panoramic Lifestyle & Soulful Hotel ★★★★

"What makes Madrigale a cut above other four and even fivestar hotels is the genuine pleasant atmosphere created by their team. It is a terrible feeling to go to a hotel and be greeted by or served by unhappy unpleasant personnel. Angelo treats guests with great warmth as though they are returning family. Even though he had a cast on his hand, it did not change his pleasant attitude or level of service. He gave his all to make sure our stay was a perfect as always. Federico and Sultan were two of our waiters at dinner. They both were always attentive to our table in a friendly and professional manner which made us feel like welcomed guests. Michael was not our server at dinner, however we noted that, even though he is young, his level of professionalism is like a seasoned pro. Emma who served at the bar was amazing. She constantly walked around the pool area in order to give guests the opportunity to ask her to bring them drinks / food. My husband and I both said that the bar probably made more Money this summer than any other summer, because of her exceptional work ethic. There is also a very lovely woman who we see every year working at breakfast. Unfortunately, I may have forgotten her name. I think it is Rovena. She is full of energy and is constantly checking and restocking the breakfast buffet. One evening Angelo was the head waiter. He was very busy with the special event that evening “dinner under the stars”. However, he continued to focus on the guests and continued to communicate with the guests. He asked everyone, if they were enjoying their meal, and explained and apologized for the short delays with the kitchen These short delays were welcomed by us, as it gave us time to digest our food prior to the next course being served. The key was that Angelo kept the guests informed which made us feel well looked after, and that we were not forgotten. The front desk was also run perfectly under the management of Manuela and her team. What makes the facilities a cut above the rest are the two large swimming pools and the numerous seating areas throughout the grounds. We often were the only two people in the pool because many preferred the full sun area with the second pool and intrigrated whirlpool. The hotel is in a very quiet area with only the sound of birds and crickets. There are no loud children, since the minimum age is 14 and up. Hooray! Perfect for families with older children. Half board is an excellent choice. Plan to gain a few pounds."

Golf Cà Degli Ulivi ★★★★

"The services are the best and the food was exquisit. Splendid view and ambiental music creat an unique experience. If you get in the zone, you should not miss it. The meniu gives you the opportunity to delight your taste buds and you ll be amazed of the deserts taste also."

Relais Villa Alma ★★★

"We were visiting south Italy and our flights had an overnight stay in Rome. I ended up booking a room at Villa Alma for the night as it is close to the airport. The taxi from the airport dropped us at the entrance to the street instead of driving us to the front of the building. The driver was also rude and dismissive. It was late when we arrived. So about 10:30pm. Normally check in to Villa Alma closes at 9pm but the owner (Opi??) was waiting for us outside to guide us to the building. Since the taxi did not take us all the way to the door, we were not clear which building to go to but Opi waiting for us outside really helped. Opi was furious that the taxi driver was rude and also made us walk. When we told him what we paid for the ride, he told us he overcharged us and that was wrong. He said he was planning to go to the airport in the morning so he could drop us off as well. We went for a walk and had dinner. This is a nice neighborhood with a canal running through it. It has bridges over it. The view is nice. Also there are plenty of restaurants and bars open in very easy walking distance. We enjoyed our walk a lot. It seems this neighborhood has some festivals in summer so it might be good to go back. Anyway the room was clean, smelled good, well maintained and overall pleasant. We stayed at the room in the first floor (half a flight of walk up) Opi had a breakfast ready for us when we got up in the morning. He had juice, filled croissants, yogurt, coffee, tea etc. Overall I would say the breakfast was nice. He ended up driving us to the airport (along with somebody who works there) as he promised and refused to take money to make up for the bad treatment we had by the taxi driver the night before. We insisted but he refused it. Such a nice guy who made us feel good and happy to meet him. In general I prefer to not to write negative only reviews. But I made sure to write when somebody goes above and beyond. So in general this stay was definitely a good one."

Relais Rossar Boutique Hotel Garda & Hills ★★★

"Great location with a family atmosphere where you feel well looked after and comfortable. Everything is clean and well-kept, from the garden to the lobby to the rooms. We would love to come back and can only recommend the Relais. Unfortunately there is no actual kitchen. However, there are more than enough places to eat in the area, even within walking distance."

Residence San Michele ★★★

"We had a great villa (nr 4), stunning views. Beautiful welkepped gardens, swimmingpool area and terrace. The staff is super friendly and helpfull. Love to visit Residenza San Michele again."

Appartamenti San Carlo ★★★

Boffenigo - the Golden Hour ★★★★

"This place is amazing. A 5 star hotel above Garda on Lake Garda, with an incredible view of the lake. The rooms were amazing with a balcony overlooking the lake and the beautiful grounds of the hotel. Wonderful breakfast and the staff was so accommodating. Great location on Lake Garda to visit all of the beautiful towns around the lake."
