“Lovely peaceful location, great pool, views and food A+++”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 July 2009

Took a gamble on this one as it was the cheapeast place we could find and had very little reviews. However it is part of the Europlan Group which has a very good reputation so we went for and were not disapointed!
Accomodation - ok the apartment was a bit dated but it was clean and provided all the things we needed and we were there to enjoy the outdoors. the sun terrace was fab, looked over the pool and the lake, perfect for breakfast/lunch/a glass of local wine.
Pool area - fantastic! outlook over lake and up into the hills, plenty of comfy sunbeds/unbrellas/tables. Huge deep pool and childrens pool. Clean.
Other facilties - they have tennis coaching, mini-club for kids, playground, beach volleyball.
Restaurant - We had lunch and dinner during the holiday. we personally thought the food was fantasitic, excellent salads, pasta, pizza, desserts. The staff were also happy to make anything on request. Didnt have breakfast however we bought fresh bread & coffee from them in the morning.
Location - it is as stated between Bardolino and Garda however 15mins walk as stated on their website is a bit optimistic! It is 15mins to the lakeside where there is cafes, swimming and watersports on hand. This part of the walk is steep on the way back and doesnt have any street-lighting in the evening. From the lake it is approx 15mins into Bardolino and 20mins in the opposite direction to Garda. The path along the lakeside is beautiful. we had a car which was very useful for those evenings we couldnt face the walk back up the hill and for going to the supermarket. On the plus-side, the location has an 'away from it all' feeling, it is very peaceful and was surrounding in beautiful landscapes with views over the lake.
Additonal things - friendly helpful staff, it was very quiet when we were there (June 09) although may be busier in height of summer.

“Loved the hotel, but the restaurant was not very good on the grounds”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2007

We honeymooned this past September here, and will return to this property year after year.

The hotel room was clean, and quaint, and we could have cooked in the room, but chose not too-I didn´t want to cook on my honeymoon! We were on the third floor, so had a great sunset and lake view, and if we would have been on the second floor we could have had a balcony, and on the first floor we could have had a patio-oh well, next time.

The hotel is far enough away from the major road that runs through the Bardolino/Garda area, so at night, our room was very quite.

The only thing we were not pleased with was the restaurant and the next time we visit, we will not take half pension. The meals were just OK, and we would have rather gone into town to eat at a better restaurant.

The pool is gorgeous, the grounds have a children´s play area, and we loved the olive trees there.

We did book a bus tour of Verona from the hotel, and that was nice, but drove our own car to Venice, where parking was a steep $21.00 Euro, but well worth the trip.

Shopping in Bardolino/Garda is great, and ask to get the flea market schedule in the surrounding towns for great deals on leather goods.

Oh, by the way, make sure you visit Limone-that was one of the prettiest surrounding towns.

  • Liked — It was clean and quite
  • Disliked — The restaurant at the hotel was not very good
