the hotel had a superb location on the lake and food at the hotel was very good, albeit expensive. Its not 5*though, rooms are clean and comfortable but by their design are dark and no views from junior suites unless you step outside on to youterrace. Staff friendly and helpful and no problem finding a sunbed. There were around 5 restaurants within walking distance of the hotel, none of them special but food was okay and prices more in line with what you expect to pay on a lakeside location. The ferry terminal is a 5 minute walk away, but limited to go the Sirmione and Garda. Taxis can be hard to get, dont use Uber, they dont have a ful license to operate in Italy apparently, but hotel concierge Marco was helpfuland managed to find taxis for us. All in all we had a great time in Garda and the hotel, for us, was nice and peaceful.
