Stayed here for 5 days. What an amazing hotel from start to finish. Staff are all amazing. Especially the reception staff. Rooms are well equipped with everything you need. Mini fridge to keep drinks etc cold. Had an issue with the aircon on first day but was sorted immediately and room was lovely and cool for the duration of our stay. Nothing was a problem. Sebastian around the pool bar is very helpful and makes brilliant drinks. Beer is 6euros which is cheap for a hotel. Food in hotel is exceptional at dinner time. Breakfast is continental and serves hot bacon scrambled eggs, boiled eggs and fresh meat everyday along with fruits cakes and cereals. Coffee machine aswell which my partner enjoyed the cappuccinos. The hotel is very old school like a 80s James Bond theme which we loved. Beautiful flowers and decor everywhere. Would highly recommend getting a hire car if you stay here to see the different parts of the lake. There is a large hill to walk up if you do decide to walk down to the harbour. Overall this is hotel is fantastic and would highly recommend to anybody. We saw a couple of complaining about small thing but we didn't have anything negative to say about anything. Rooms cleaned everyday. Great spa facilities whixh is free to use apart from the treatments. Well done to everyone. We will be returning in the future x

Nothing this hotel is stunning in everyway

We were highly impressed by the warm welcome and attentiveness of the staff throughout our stay. The room offered exceptional comfort, and the leisure facilities, including the pool and steam room, were excellent and well-maintained. The option for spa treatments was a definite plus. Furthermore, the dining was a highlight the food was simply outstanding.

Nothing at all.

Magnificent views, beautiful gardens, excellent food but above all the staff were so helpful and friendly, we took them to our hearts and they also opened their hearts to us. The food in the restaurant was mouth watering and excellently prepared.

The stairs up to the rooms are outside, beautiful but challenging to Octogenarians or disabled folk. The staff were there to help with luggage though.

Absolutely stunning hotel! The views from our balcony were spectacular. Really nice breakfast and the spa and pool was Particularly enjoyable, we had a massage and it was one of the best I’ve had. I also can’t compliment the staff enough, so helpful and very kind and polite.

Nothing I can fault, it was a perfect week long stay.

Fantastic location. A 15 min walk to the coast and ferry (albeit up a big hill) so you can day trip to Salo and Sirmione. The hotel felt like stepping back in time. Incredible views so book a balcony view room. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast on the patio.

Not much! Although rooms felt a little dated. But great value for money.

Fantastic views from the terrace of the lake. Facilities were excellent. Staff lovely.

Having to carry all our cases up from the car park. 5 or 6 flights of stairs, really bad at 68yrs old. The road to the car park up from below is not walkable as too steep and followed by all those stairs to get to the hotel terrace. Shame.

Our room was spectacular but we did book the top suite. The food at the restaurant in the evening was the best food we ate all week and we went to a number of restaurants. The atmosphere was great.

Nothing really, the walk up the hill was hardwork and I would say a car rental is a must to get the most of the surrounding area. There was probably potential to do alot more with the surrounding gardens but it didnt detract from our stay.

Pool and spa was nice, room was tidy, fresh towels and robes every day.

Would recommend having a lifeguard present during pool opening hours as anything could happen to someone when they are in there on their own. Thought lunch and dinner was very overpriced, very small portions for price would recommend reviewing.

I was really delighted to discover this hotel and, after two separate visits off season, I decided to take 20 plus rooms for 35 friends and family to join me in celebrating my birthday. Everyone loved it. The management and staff were so helpful, patient and flexible to accommodate our ever changing needs. The setting is stunning, the spa was fantastic and all the beds were super comfy. Hand painted murals and details everywhere you look. Some of the rooms are quirky so if you are looking for a sterile identikit chain hotel, this isn't for you. Full of character, some of the standard Romantic category rooms might be a little bigger or more modern than others, but all are comfy, reasonably priced and fit for purpose. The lake view and luxury rooms offer something more impressive, so upgrade if you want something fancier. There are multiple areas to host private dinners or events in and great indoor and outdoor pools that aren't heavily chlorinated like many are. The hotel allowed us to bring in external caterers to collaborate with their hotel as I had particular chefs I wanted to use and the hotel and restaurant staff worked well and efficiently with them. Gardone Riviera is really charming. There is a small public beach that is easily accessible down the hill and over the road with the clearest water to swim in with some fantastic restaurants along the promenade, there is a fun piano bar discoteca at Torre San Marco if you want some lively evening entertainment. There are some botanical gardens and other sights to visit, but sadly we didn't have time to check those out this time, but hope to when we return. We all loved this hotel. Family run like the nicest hotels are, it had a personal feeling and we were welcomed like family. We will most certainly return.

We liked it all!

The hotel itself is stunning. We went at the height of summer when everything was blooming. Truly worth it just for the view of the lake and enjoying the grounds. We only stayed for one night so did not manage to take advantage of the pool, but it looked really good. The hotel is located up a hill, so the views from the grounds and restaurant blew our mind. The downside of this is if you do not have a car you'll need to walk up the hill from town.

The overall cleanliness of the room we were in was not exactly spotless. A bit dusty, and I noticed that in the bathroom there were mites on the ground. There were complimentary soaps for the bidet and shower, but one of the bidet soap bottles was half used so we didn't touch them. The shower has a small shelf for your things but it just immediately fills up with water so it was a bit dubious. We stayed in some of the cheaper rooms located downstairs.
