Gardone Riviera hotellia

Plussat: Everything was very well done. The rooms were nicely laid out and decorated, the whole property had been thoughtfully developed, the hostess and staff were extremely nice and helpful. We could not fault the experience. We got a surprise at the narrow and winding road up through the nearby village to reach Premignaga. Not a thing that detracted from the overall experience and it was a bit of an adventure really. And the breakfast was the best we have had at tourist accommodation ever, anywhere.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: It was our second time there and we really really liked everything. Perfect breakfast, amazing people, view, nature, room, everything. Highly recommended :).

Plussat: Amazing dog friendly place. Quiet and soothing. The most beutiful breakfests are there.

Plussat: The location is great and you can see the exceptional care that Daniela put in every detail: furniture, Christmas decorations, renovations, the surroundings, the park around... They also made everything to make my stay pleasant. The morning breakfast was also big, various and made of local products.

Plussat: The place is just amazing. Everything is well thought of, from the comfortable and big room, the common areas, to the pool with the refreshments and the big and varied breakfast that changed every day. The hosts are very nice and really helpful. They help with food and attractions recommendations and tend to your every request immediately. We had a great time and would certainly come back if we're in the area again.

Miinukset: The property is located at the end of the village which offers amazing views of the lake and the surroundings, but it means you have to drive for a few hundred meters in a steep and narrow road (like a lot of other villages in Italy). After one time you get used to it, but it can be a little intimidating at first.

Plussat: Everything is perfect!!!!!!!!

Plussat: Very comfortable after a long trip. Country style with very warm and welcoming owners. After visiting the big cities a much needed break

Plussat: Our second time here, Isolated and elevated from all the crowd! Amazing views of lake Garda and surrounded by green nature. Quiet and relaxing atmosphere, combined with excellent facilities and beautiful pool...what more you can ask for!?

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very nice location and apartments and the hosts are making the stay a real pleasure. Very responsive, nice and pleasant. We stayed end of July and it was fully booked, yet one still has the feeling of a very calm place. Our apartments didn't have a terrace or garden, but as you can use the whole area with tables and chairs this doesn't matter. Great lake views and being a bit above makes it a bit less hot in summer. I can definitely recommend this place for a calm and relaxing holiday.

Plussat: Exellent breakfast!!! Helpfull staff!

Miinukset: Too dark in the room

Plussat: Mind blowing in every way just soo beautiful right on the edge of the lake

Plussat: Warm pool, amazing settings, very bountiful

Miinukset: Too stiff we didn’t feel welcome with 2 children, not very good kitchen- surprising. The main butler manager was too cocy. wanted extra 75 euro for extra bed....

Plussat: Amazing place to relax and enjoy beautiful views. Service was simply excellent!

Plussat: The location was amazing, the hotel is a beautiful historical building and the staff was super nice, everyone was very friendly and helpful. If you stay in Lago Di Garda this lovely hotel is a must!!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Wonderful staff, very accomodating and helpful - we were there for a wedding and they supported us in every way possible! Cute, very Italian decor, beautiful terrace and garden - would recommend!

Plussat: Friendly staff, good breakfast., comfortable room Nice terrace to sit out for breakfast or drinks early evening Easy to walk to restaurants

Miinukset: Perpetually busy road outside

Plussat: The building is beautiful and the breakfast terrace is just lovely. We received a warm welcome as per the reviews and the management team are happy to suggest local restaurants and boat departure points etc. The pool wasn't too busy even though we were staying during mid August and the room was as expected with a lovely balcony with good aircon and black out shutters. A 10 minute walk to the local restaurants/boat departure point on the sea front and easy parking for our car. We took the ferry to Limone which takes 1 hour on the fast boat - ask the hotel for their discount card. There is a beach front at Limone but we only stayed for a couple of hours for lunch before catching a fast boat back. The breakfast had a really good choice as per the reviews and lovely scrambled eggs made to order. We also had a light lunch on the terrace on arrival with lovely pastas, toasties and salads on offer at reasonable prices. A lovely chilled stay during our week long road trip!

Miinukset: The reviews mention the road noise which is busy and frequent but not the fault of the owners and still lovely pool area for our 1 night stay. The room décor is a little dated but as expected and in keeping with the genre of the hotel building.

Plussat: Hotel is really nice.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Fabulous!! The hotel, facilities and staff were fantastic. The hotel building and grounds are full of Italian charm, whilst the hotel still has all the mod cons. The terrace in particular was simply beautiful and we really enjoyed having breakfast and afternoon drinks there. The owners and staff were extremely attentive and passed on some great tips for excursions and sight seeing. We traveled with our 2 children and had a triple room which was spotless and also still v.spacious even with the travel cot and sofa bed pulled out. Staff were also very accommodating of our small children. Overall a fantastic stay.

Plussat: Beautiful hotel, view on the lake, parking is free, nice and helpful reception. Highly recommended

Miinukset: a bit noisy

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: GOOD STAFF, AMBIENCE AND DECOR

Miinukset: SOME PICK UP TRANSPORT FROM THE BASE TO THE RECEPTION

Plussat: The location was stunning with elevated views of Lake Garda. Starting each day there with breakfast on that terrace was the perfect way to start each day. One of my favorite things about European Boutique hotels is the included breakfast that is always delicious and so civilized! The service was impeccable and the attention to detail with silver, linens etc. reminded me each morning that I was in a special place. We ventured out each day, facilitated by easy access to the area roads, as well as the ability to walk into town to catch the ferry boats. There are so many things to see and do, that a week wasn't enough. At the end of each day, we were always happy to return to the Villa to have drinks on the terrace, served by a very attentive, delightful staff and just take in the beauty of the setting as the sun set. Our last night we had one of those perfect vacation dinners on the terrace, almost full moon over the lake and service by Florine and staff that was a highlight of our vacation.

Miinukset: For a five star hotel, I think they should have a better hairdryer. Our room had a very dated, wall-mounted dryer that was not very effective. It's a little detail, but decent hand hair dryers are inexpensive and readily available these days. Also, we were not informed that our room was over the staff and delivery entry to the hotel, so we did not anticipate the noise early in the morning. It was fine after the first morning, because we simply closed our windows. However, it would have been nice to be told that when we checked in.

Plussat: Beautiful house frozen in time. Breathtaking views, amazing gardens.

Miinukset: There was nothing to dislike about this property.

Plussat: Everything!!!

Plussat: Large room with high ceiling, extra beautiful view from the room, great breakfast on a terasse with a magnificent view over the lake, park and mountains, pleasant helpful staff with adequate information what to do and what to see

Plussat: Amazing views from this lovely period villa. Within easy walk of many restaurants (a bit of a climb uphill on way back but needed after all the lovely dinners)!

Miinukset: The pool could have been heated, but as the place is only open during the warm season I understand why it is not.

Plussat: Wonderful staff. Excellent food. Incredible location and views. Holiday of a lifetime.

Plussat: The staff were outstanding and made us feel very welcome. Wonderful setting. Good food.

Miinukset: No evening meals available.

Plussat: Ihan loistava paikka. Pääsee myös järveen uimaan.

Miinukset: Ei omaa iltaruokailuravintolaa.

Plussat: Approximiity to lake

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Gorgeous hotel with a wonderful location right by Lake Garda. Excellent views across the lake and very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast, although I do not agree with having to pay a supplement of EUR5 for fried eggs!

Miinukset: I was surprised that there are no meals served in the evenings. It's wasn't a problem as we ate out every night, but others may not realise this when booking.

Plussat: The stuff were great.. my daughter turned one year old while we were there everyone in the morning wished her Happy Birthday and even got here a surprised crepe :) the hotel is clean, close to restaurants and the stuff is lovely and very helpful

Plussat: Location was stunning. Lakeside view and beautiful swimming pool. Gardens lovely and spacious with private areas for sunbathing,

Miinukset: A restaurant would have been nice to eat in the evening as it would have made a stunning backdrop.

Plussat: Tämä Villa on melkein kuin boutic-hotelli ihanalla näköalalla järven rannalla. Pienehkö ja viihtyisä hotelli pariskunnille, mutta ei kyllä lapsiperheille. Huoneet maukkaasti sisustetut, tilavat ja siistit, siivous päivittäin. 10 plus annan pyyhkeistä- niitä oli monta kokoa ja iso kylpypyyhe kunnon kokoinen ! Vaihdettiin joka päivä. Lisäksi huoneessa oli "rantakassi", jossa oli 2 isoa rantapyyhettä. Aamiaisravintola todella hyvä, pöytiä myös katetulla terassilla. Erittäin hyvä, että aamiaisella oli iso termosastia, jossa luki "Filter caffe", joka oli hyvää "normaali kahvia" (emme ole ihastuneita ns konekahveihin). Aamupala buffet oli monipuolinen ja riittävä. Ihanat erilaiset piirakat ! Parkkipaikkoja oli riittävästi hotellin pihalla. Tässä hotellissa tuntee itsensä kyllä hemmoteltuksi. Hotellissa oli myös Spa, jota valitettavasti emme ehtineet käyttää kun nähtävää oli lähistöllä niin paljon.

Miinukset: Ruokaravintolat kävelymatkan päässä.

Plussat: This is a wonderful hotel with a stunning view.

Miinukset: The only slight downside is the very loud road that runs behind the hotel. Even with a lake view, when the balcony doors are open or when you are eating breakfast by the lake, you can hear the traffic thundering by. You can 'zone it out' and the rest of the hotel makes it worth it!

Plussat: good location

Miinukset: Small selection of food at breakfast, lots of empty dishes for food

Plussat: Lovely gardens, on the water. Beautiful view from the room. Great parking. Pleasant and helpful staff. Very good breakfast. Very good value for the money. Highly recommend this hotel.

Plussat: The view was amazing. Very good location. Nice pool.

Miinukset: The hotel has changed our room for the second night and it was a bit smaller and not so new and fancy as the first one.

Plussat: Breakfast

Miinukset: Pricey

Plussat: Fabulous location. Great restaurant. Wonderfully helpful staff. Very individual property. Modern with a classy feel. Great pool area. Returning customer, one of our favourite hotels. Will no doubt return again. Amazing views from our room. First class

Miinukset: Nothing at all to complain about.

Plussat: every thing!

Plussat: I liked everything. Peaceful location, incredible food and wine and very attentive, friendly staff.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The place is absolutely amazing!!!

Miinukset: The only thing we could think off is that the table clothes at dinner and breakfast didn’t match the setting. Quite subjective and completely not relevant ofcourse, but if that is the one thing that we didn’t like you can imagine how good it was.

Plussat: The setting and the grounds defy the imagination. Absolutely one of the most gorgeous places I’ve ever been. Amy was incredibly warm and helpful, Owner, as well, extremely welcoming.

Miinukset: I wish the room had more ‘old’ touches. It has been ‘modernized.’ The view was spectacular!

Plussat: The place is absolutely amazing! A villa sorrounded by orange, lemon and olive trees with rooms viewing the lake, with a pool with jacuzzi and outside massage facilities. We had dinner at the villa's restaurant and the food was excellent! The staff was very friendly, helpfull and made us feel very welcomed. I will come back for sure!

Plussat: The view was great, pool also, air-condition worked very well.

Miinukset: It was very hard to find the place at the first time. Maybe the place would need some up-dating from the 80's, kitchen equipments could be more comprehensive. Soundproofing could be better; You can hear neighbours talking to each other , traffic, music from another hotels..

Plussat: The location, the pool, the barbecue area, the layout of the apertments with two toilettes per apertment (6 pers apertment)

Miinukset: The kitchen was sparsely equiped, for example: there was no knife for meat and vegetables, no scissors, no kitchen towel. The girl who made our registration on site knew not too much about Gardone and gave some misleading info about restaurants and walking distances.

Plussat: Fantastic location (although a little tricky to find!) with amazing lake views from the apartment. Great room sizes and fantastic storage within the apartment. Chiara our host was brilliant and so helpful. Cant wait to come again!

Miinukset: The master bed was a little hard for our liking and would prefer more comfy sitting in the living room.

Plussat: Great location great view and perfect facilities

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: View was great, facilities was very good. Enough parking spaces in the territory. Clean and good equipment in the kitchen.

Miinukset: Children's playground was not so clean. Could use a sign or two on the private road but once you get there the first time it was easy.

Plussat: Great view, peace, swiming pool, nice appartment.

Miinukset: The narrow path. Long distance to the lake.

Plussat: View, very helpful friendly and family run, facilities like bikes/ washing machine, spacious apartment and especially the access to San Sivino hotel facilities 25 mins away, which made the trip.

Miinukset: FINDING THE PLACE, the steep hills and very narrow single lane access roads. SCARY, especially if rental car lacks power or is oversized in any way.Some direction and reassurance that what you are driving on is actually an access road! Pictures on the website and maps would help as GPS doesn’t locate it. Having said that when lost we were promptly collected and guided in.

Plussat: The views are amazing and we were lucky to experience some local music and fireworks from the terrace. The pool was perfect. Washing machine and washing powder a pleasant bonus. Chiara was a perfect host and having the use of Aparthotel San Sivino was amazing.

Miinukset: Lack of glasses. Bit more kitchenware. There are no condiments so make sure you are well stocked before you get there.

Plussat: The swimming pool is fantastic and the view from the pool is extremely beautiful. They also have a restuarant which has nice, simple food.

Miinukset: We drove up to the hotel in the evening, we used the address given on booking but we ended up driving a horrible, extremely steep one way road for at least 20 minutes which ended somewhere up in the mountains! So we tried calling the number provided to ask for directions but the number was wrong as well!! After almost an hour looking and trying to get a hold on someone on the hotel we went to an open restuarant that managed to give us right directions to the hotel, and the waiter told us this was happening all the time! They advertise that they are a 4* hotel but the rooms definitely are not a 4*! They are outdated and cheaply furnished, our room was really dirty and dust everywhere. The beds are really firm and the pillows are the worst! The sleeping sofa is really uncomfortable, only for one person and that person should be a kid, definitely not for an adult)! Upon arrival we where handed a paper that said we needed to pay extra 40 euros for cleaning. We where not happy about that since this was not mentioned anywhere on the booking site! We complained and after some arguments we ended up not paying this extra fee. We also went to the reception the second day and asked for something to clean the dishes and wipe the tables, but then they said it was not provided and we needed to go to the store and buy it ourselves!
