The largest of Italy’s fresh-water lakes, Lake Garda is located in northeast Italy. Tourists traveling here will find plenty of excursions and activities to keep them entertained year-round—everything from visiting hilly wine regions to exploring 14th-century castles. The towns and communities surrounding Lake Garda offer easy day trips from Venice, easily accessible by car or train. Major sights include the towns of Sirmione (which attracts most Lake Garda visitors thanks to its historic Rocca Scaligiera castle) and Riva del Garda (for the Varone waterfalls located nearby), as well as the region’s hills, which offer numerous hiking trails for adventurous walkers.

In every season, for your holiday on Lake Garda, choose Residence Centro Vela Holiday Apartments located in front of S. Nicolò Harbour and nearby the beautiful promenade between Riva del Garda and Torbole. It is much more than a common residence. It is the ideal „Base Camp“ for your Regatt and for your training on the lake; it is a handy starting point for hiking and bike tours; it is the perfect support for divers. But if you simply want to relax in the sun, Residence Centro Vela is only 100 meters from beaches.
We were welcomed warmly at Residence Centro Vela. We asked to upgrade our room when we checked in and the staff were very accommodating and went out of the way to help us. Love the hospitality and the clean, tidy environment. We stayed in Block A and the rooms were clean and perfect! We had an electric car and charged it at the underground car park with no issue. Highly recommend staying with Residence Centro Vela!

We were in the Bellavista Hotel in Octobre 2021 again, for the 4th time. We were very satisfied with the services, our room was always clean and very good prepared. The location of the hotel is perfect, so is the view to the beautiful lake. We very appreciated the comfortable mattresses, our sleep was realy sweet there :)

We stayed in a bungalow near the lake. Great position. Nice clean village. Rooms very clean. The only issue is the walls are very thin, you can hear your neighbours pressing a light switch, on the toilet, in the shower. The restaurants and entertainment area were near our bungalow but the noise didn't carry and everything finished early enough anyway. Any issues with rooms and once reported seems to be dealt with immediately. You can rent a bike from behind reception. There is a shop on site selling fresh bread rolls, croissants and the usual. Swimming pool clean. You have to wear a swim hat, not a bad idea, at least no long hairs in the pool. Good pool bar, food ok. Lots of sun beds but people do go up when pool opens at 9am to put towels on best beds and don't turn up until lunch time, this is unfair but no one seems to bother. There are plenty of beds but some are the uncomfortable white plastic ones, the woven ones get saved first, they are quite comfortable. Site is as described. It's about a 45 min comfortable walk into the old town via the marina and about 20 min walk to the centre where the restaurants are and the main bus stop.If you are going to rent a car, arrange one to pick up at the airport. Most of the restaurants charged a levi of 2-2.50 Euro per person on top of your meal so be prepared.

Excellent location for driving to see lots of places and a very good price (relative to other options within about a 30 min drive). Very close to the lake (could see bits of it through the trees from our balcony). Very quiet (when next door is not sitting on her balcony and shouting down the phone to whoever it was). Bed was pretty good for sleeping on, but felt a bit soft. Good size fridge and freezer. TV worked fine and had loads of channels (a few in English, but nothing much of interest). The only cooking facilities were 4 gas rings - no oven, grill, microwave, toaster etc (though there was a kettle), which is an oversight and should be better. Bit of a problem with ants everywhere, but it got better once we kept every single bit of food in the fridge, even if it didn't need cooling. We had two problems: 1) initially the balcony door would not lock, so anyone could get in by pulling it open even when "locked" - this was mostly fixed the same day we reported it (though the door still moved more than I'd be comfortable with, even if I could not open it when locked). 2) missing pillow cases for the two spare pillows - delivered the same day. Unfortunate incident of having an ambulance crew wake us at 4am on the last day, but that was because they went to the wrong apartment. Highlights the problem of not having staff on the premises at night. Helpful people on reception, who spoke good English too (I think it was staffed 08:00-21:00)

Fantastic location right on the lake, the appartment clean, functional and tastefully furnished. Still there could be improvements made on the communiction with their guests. The discription on how to find it, check in and get the car to the garage was not only unclear but at times rather intimidating. There was nobody at check in/out ( which is fine during pandemic + we had payed up in advance) but later on we got confusing calls of why we have not payed for the visitor's tax and did not check out orderly. Above all that the lake is enchanting and we'll come back to another place at another time

Villa Treccani includes 10 apartments with wardrobe, they have differents measures, from apartments for 2 people (25mq) to apartments for 6 people (45 mq). The complex stands 20 metres from the lake in an area of 6000 mq and is just 600 metres from the centre of Malcesine by an easy walk along the lake front or along the cycle path.
Beautiful location! Their pool/ jacuzzi has the most surreal views of the lake and mountains! I could not believe we were staying in such a beautiful location and for such a bargain! Walk 2 minutes down and you can sunbathe right by the lake! Another 10 minute walk and your by the city centre with everything you need. Accommodation was really nice, spacious, good beds and nice shower. Everything was lovely, Alberto our host was the cherry on top - so friendly!!

Within its hotel rating category this is a really good hotel. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. It is just off the busy tourist streets near the lake but still takes it only minutes be in the center. The location is really good. At least from the second floor you have a sea glimpse from your balcony( that is equipped with two chairs and a table.) The room is basic but with good storage space as well as a good size shower. The beds are comfortable and cleaning impeccable. The swimming pool is rather large and hotel Romeo also has its own tennis court. But bare in mind you have to bring your own equipment as there is no rental. In september when I stayed at Hotel Romeo their guests came mainly from Germany and you were greeted in German and most signs where in German. There is a car park beside the hotel entrance that seemed adequate . Breakfast was nice although there where often a shortage of food so you had to wait. On the other hand that means that what you get is fresh. It is a buffet but you will get Italian ham, salomon and cheese as well as fruit on special platters that they bring to your table. Really nice. Over all four plus for this property.

I would never recoment this accomodation. The offer is completely lying, promoted 2 queen sized double beds, the reality was 2 single beds, sofa and extra bed. The reaction of the owner (Giorgia) was: Why do you complain? You have enough beds. She also wanted to call the police on me. She also knew about the mistake in the offer, but the only proposed solution was, that I can check out earlier, but she did not want to refund whole price for unused nights. Nothing else proposed as compensation. The appartment was quite new and clean, but the owner totally horrible. My advice: NEVER!!!

What a treat this hotel turned out to be! If your a crazy surfer, kite surfer etc!!! This hotel is in a perfect place however if you are just looking for a lovely, relaxing hotel in an incredible setting then this is also for you! We absolutely loved it! (We don’t do the surf thing) A clean, cosy no frills hotel, but excellent standards! Fresh towels, fantastic shower, comfy bed to rest your head after a lazy day! Then a Beautiful courtyard for breakfast which was fresh and plentiful! Obviously we have to mention the coffee that was outstanding! We also sat and enjoyed, lunch and had a few glasses of wine in the evening when the sun went down... so peaceful and just perfect! The family and team who run the hotel are so caring and cannot do enough to make your stay comfortable! A real treat I would recommend to anyone! We will be going back as often as we can as this little place has it all.... well done and thank you.
