My sister and I stayed here for 4 nights in June and had a wonderful time. The hotel is very comfortable and spotlessly clean with a pool area that has sun all day long from morning till evening with plenty of comfortable loungers and a varied seating area for those who prefer shade. They also have a top floor terrace where one can take drinks, relax, read, play cards and generally chill out with massage chairs and some exercise equipment available for guests to use 24/7. The food is very good and always fresh and tasty kept this way with with a well thought out set menu of a few choices that changes daily. The Owner's wife Signora Vincensina cooks and runs the spotless kitchen, Giorgio her son in law who works with her is an exceptional baker, his fabulously mouthwatering fresh pastry or cakes each morning should not be missed he is truly a master baker sourcing his recipes very carefully and testing them until they are perfect. Marisa and Francesca the owners daughters are front of house and extremely friendly and very helpful and knowledgable of the area having grown up here, their father Signor Angelo the owner keeps a close eye on everything and makes sure all runs like clockwork. The rooms are spotless and very comfortable with air conditioning available in the hotter months once the temperature outside rises above 24 degress C (this is inline...My sister and I stayed here for 4 nights in June and had a wonderful time.

The rooms are spotless and very comfortable with air conditioning available in the hotter months once the temperature outside rises above 24 degress C (this is inline with environmental laws) with some having large balconies. The hotel is in a great location very near to Sirmione old town, which is perfectly walkable (roughly a 40 minute picturesque walk). If the weather is too hot or if you prefer you can take the navetta or bus which stops right across the road for very little, the tourist information building can also be found here. The hotel is surrounded by very nice bars, cafes, restaurants and shops (I highly recommend a visit to Dotor'vino directly across the road). Yet it still manages to remain quiet and peaceful in the evening. There is a very short walk directly to the lake where you can walk 'lungolago' and generally take in the beautiful surroundings. The Lugana vineyard is nearby which i believe offer tasting evenings and the wonderful Aquaria thermal spa is well worth a day spent relaxing in the hot sulphurous waters which are sourced from the centre of the lake, they also offer very reasonably priced massage treatments with a clever watch based system for payment so that you can store all your valuables securely. The botanical gardens 'Sigurta' are stunning and also worth visiting as they have been voted one of the best in Europe followed by a light alfresco lunch in the very picturesque village of Borghetto, if you prefer not to walk you can purchase a ticket at the entrance to the gardens and take the little train which goes all the way round the grounds of Sigurta and ends up at the village of Borghetto. I would highly recommend this very friendly family run hotel for its cleanliness, food, exceptional location, amenities and helpfulness. The main second language is German but Giorgio and his son Davide both speak some English and they are working more and more with English tourists due to exposure via Expedia etc. More
