Hotel Gardenia & Villa Charme

Fantastic place to stay. We wanted a nice place at a reasonable price, and after seeing all positive reviews, we went for Gardenia. It was a thrill: we did take a room with a splendid view of Garda lake (top floor), and we enjoyed the breakfast a lot - not a typical Italian breakfast, but a good variety, plus eggs to order, and your choice of fine Italian coffee. I would definitely recommend this hotel and consider coming back to it (and stay in the same room).

The room had a small issue with the air conditioning. It was working - so creating a pleasant interior for a 30 degree outside - but it made quite a bit of noise and the device had a water leak issue. This was only a minor issue, and I would expect the hotel will take good care of it.

Spotlessly clean. Friendly, helpful staff. Great location and easy to use transport to get around. Perfect view from the balcony

Nice hotel with quiet location, helpful and very friendly staff, overall really clean hotel with good services, private pool and private hotel parking. Tasty breakfast. 5 min walk to lake garda, 10-15 min walk to Bardolino centrum.

This hotel was charming from the word "go"! Classic European small hotel. The rooms were basic but absolutely spotless. The breakfast (extra per person but well worth it) was phenomenal!! Reminded us very much of a German breakfast - they offered everything you could want and even offered custom cooked eggs for you each morning. The location is very convenient (it was so crowded the time of year we were there..... lots of traffic) but we were able to get everywhere with our rental car. Once at the hotel, however, there was plenty to walk to. We took one day and drove up into the Alps on the other side of the lake which was an amazing experience. The absolute best thing about this property, however, (and it was all great) was the amazing staff. They went out of their way to be efficient, accommodating, super-friendly - all of them from the owner / manager to the breakfast staff to the housekeeping were pleasant and went out of their way to make sure we were having a great time. Oh and they also had 2 very nice pools on their joint properties which were spotless with plenty of lounge chairs and even drink and food service to the pool. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

The beds in the room were quite firm - a little too much for my taste - but certainly not a deal-breaker. I still slept fine!

Amazing accommodation, within short walking distance to Bardolino. The staff was very friendly and helpful, they love they work and one can see it. The rooms are very clean and there are many small touches that make it very personal. The breakfast was beyond expectation. We didn't want to leave.
