Wonderful lakeside hotel
Living the dream with a lake view balcony room at the grand Gardone Riviera Hotel. Everything I always wanted. Being able to also slip into the lake for a swim straight from the sunloungers also a bonus! Breakfast was amazing, we couldn’t stop eating! Loved the whole experience and will definitely visit again!

Fantastic location vary convenient ferry links and transport around the lake.
Hotel is now showing its age but kept very clean, hotel staff were very helpful. The only thing missing was in room coffee-tea making facilities which would of made mornings more enjoyable while sitting on your balcony.

Lovely but not worth the price
Hotel is grand, shower over bath did not move so water flooded everywhere. We were told to just hold it? Views are beautiful. No facilities for tea or coffee and no glasses to use for mini bar was told to use paper cups that were in the bathroom.

Go - whilst you still can.
Absolutely amazing hotel, full of Italian charm. The room looked directly out onto the lake and had everything you would need. Spectacular view.
We decided to have dinner there and that was a brilliant experience, service was exceptional, wine was great and the food..........
We had a table literally right next to the Lake.
We went as we'd seen this hotel last year and a business colleague stayed there late June and found out they are closing for a full refurb in October which will take at least 2 to 3 years, so we took the opportunity before it shut.
Hopefully, they'll keep the character and charm that is evident throughout.

Wonderful stay- definitely recommend!
We had a wonderful stay. The hotel is certainly grand- it’s well maintained and in a great location. The staff are exceeding only kind and accommodating. Mirko was a consummate bartender who regaled us with the history of the hotel, including fascinating anecdotes about Sir Winston and Clementine Churchill’s connection to the hotel. I definitely recommend staying here if you are visiting Lake Garda!

The peaceful lakeside proximity is wonderful; being able to step down straight into the lake was a real luxury, as too was enjoying breakfast on the lake edge terrace. Staff were very polite and friendly, and provided great service. Room was spacious, comfortable and had ample storage. The lake view was incredible and a joy to wake up to also.
The only real issue experienced was the unreliability and poor signal of the WiFi. We also would have appreciated some sort of welcome pack with local advice and recommendations.
Overall the trip was immensely enjoyable and relaxing, and this hotel is certainly recommended to travellers.

This was one of the best hotels I have stayed in. The rooms are large, especially in comparison to other room sizes in Italian hotels. The staff are so attentive and kind. Breakfast was wonderful over looking the lake, with lots of options and lactose free options. Excellent restaurants and cafes near by. Lovely local shops and extremely safe, quiet and the perfect holiday location. I didn’t want to leave!

Absolutely beautiful hotel with a stunning view. Lovely lakeside pool. Breakfast had such a large choice.
Only downside was we had a very noisy room next to ours which did disturb our sleep. We did mention it but was told well you are only here for 1 more night. We were staying for 3, after the first noisy night we thought it may just have been a one off. After the 2nd night we did mention it but nothing was done so we ended up with 3 disturbed nights. So my advice would be to ask for a quiet room.
Also be aware, if you are taking a car they charge 20 euros a night.

Beautiful hotel and our superior room with lake view was stunning. However, the hotel lacked in dining options and was expecting spa facilities and there were none. There was no atmosphere in the piano bar and not welcoming so we ate out every night.
