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.

This was a lovely experience from beginning to end. We had a park view room which was spacious. View was limited to a treed area to the side of main hotel but this didn't matter to us. Breakfast was terrific on the large sunny terrace, Eggs, crepes, pancakes available to order and a wide range of breads, fruit, cereal, cake, juices, meats, cheese etc. While waiters would bring you coffee if required you could also get your own. Sparkling wine was also available if that's your thing. The sparrows were a bit of a nuisance at times but also entertaining and that's part of the open air eating experience I suppose. The gardens pools and restaurants are very well kept and you're free to grab a lounger and sit at the pool or find some shade to relax. The Capannina Bar/Restaurant, beside the main pool area, was great for drinks and lunch. Waiter service to the pool area would have enhanced the experience. The resort runs from the main street down to the lake front - so you also have the option of a lake swim within a few minutes walk from your room. Sailing du Lac, while not part of the hotel is attached to the grounds and you can hire bikes, sup, kayaks there if required. Housecleaning was great. We had a hairdryer replaced and staff checked back with us to ensure we were happy. A drawer that had come off its rails was also noted and fixed without us having to report it. The only very minor negative was that there were not proper cups or glasses in the room. Maybe this was due to previous covid regulations and had yet to return to the usual arrangements. We don't think that we would look anywhere else if returning to Riva. Grazie Mille.

All the following compares to other resorts in Europe. The hotel is nice and tidy. We went in off season. There were not that many guests - we can however imagine how it would be in summer. Definitely go in off season! The rooms are rather big, the view is not extraordinary. We booked a standard room. All ammenities are there. The presentation of the hotel is very club hotel alike, Italian style. All public rooms have high ceelings, people gather, it therefore tends to be a rather loud place (we had to shout to the receptionist to understand her). The doors do not close very tightly, so you can hear noise from the corridor. In our rate included was also breakfast, which is on a high standard. This was the best part of the stay. The dining rooms also follow the above - it is very noisy. There is basically one huge room, children running around. Not ideal if you are looking for some quiet time. However, this cannot be anticipated from a resort targeted at children ;-). For the later there is also additional program during the evening. Finally: the hotel is good but not extraordinary, the breakfast was really good. We got a very good deal. Check out off season special tickets. (240 euros for two days gardaland plus hotel)

A magnificent gentle slope fronting Lake Garda, few steps from Bardolino and the lake.Parc Hotel Germano Suites & Apartments introduces a new concept in hospitality: the architectural lines were designed to integrate the new residential building with the natural undulating of the ground. A firm non-acceptance of an high-impact architecture. All suites and apartments have been conceived to offer the maximum comfort, thanks to a new desire of great convenience for the guest.
Lovely week at this splendid hotel, the location, atmosphere & food was beautiful. The staff are very attentive & made our stay special. We spent time at the restaurant, adults only pool & enjoying breathtaking views of Lake Garda every day at breakfast.

There are so many great things to say about this hotel!! We stayed in one of the apartments (family of 4) and it was so clean and comfortable with the most amazing view you could imagine. There are so many amenities including indoor and outdoor pool, sauna, mini golf, games room, bar and restaurant (the terrace’s view is breathtaking) and of course several tennis courts. But I have to say, the staff here are the real gems of this hotel. Every staff member we met was so kind, welcoming, accommodating and charming!! A special mention to Catia, she was so quick to respond to my queries several weeks before even arriving and helped me to plan the perfect trip! She is a ray of sunshine!! The hotel is up quite high, and the road is very narrow and steep (which is why the views are so amazing) but I would highly recommend having a car as you are 10 minutes away from Limone and really do need a car to see the best parts of Lake Garda. Once you have driven the road once or twice you’ll be absolutely fine! We feel we found a hidden gem with this hotel and we will most certainly be back!! Grazie tutti!! ?

Lo Spiaggia d’Oro, romantico Hotel 4 stelle, è uno tra gli alberghi più antichi ed eleganti della famosa Riviera del Garda, situato in una posizione invidiabile, sul porticciolo di Barbarano a circa 1 km da Salò e Gardone Riviera con parcheggio. Una importante hall, impreziosita da tessuti e poltrone dai toni caldi ed eleganti, conduce lo sguardo verso un panorama suggestivo quanto rilassante. Il giardino pittoresco ospita la grande piscina. Gli alberi secolari e le piante di agrumi si specchiano direttamente sull’acqua del lago, che accompagna le ore del giorno con il suo dondolio rasserenante. Il ristorante a pelo d’acqua dove gustare prelibatezze sotto i raggi del sole o al chiaror di luna, dona esclusività a questa meravigliosa location.
What a disappointment this place is. Having come from a fabulous true 4 star in Lake Iseo - this hotel is a poor imitation Staff are unhelpful - lacking basic information on hotel services and the area , no decent information in the room , cheap furnishing and generally a soulless place in need of updating and upgrading . God knows why the reviews are as they are on Tripadvisor or Booking.com - very misleading...

Great stay for families with an excellent pool and splash park, peaceful but well connected location, and lots to do in the local area. Gasparina village is in a great location with Gardaland just a short walk away and a path down to Lake Garda that takes just 5-10 minutes. During our stay we also hired bikes from outside reception and cycled to Peschiera del Garda and along the Mincio river. Once in Peschiera there are many day trips to choose from that are less than 2 hours away. We visited Milan and Venice, as well as Gardaland theme park that is in walking distance. Movieland and other water parks, theme parks and a zoo are also nearby. The accommodation is basic but has lots of storage space and a lovely balcony. Having some more TV channels in English would be preferable as there was only BBC News that wasn't German or Italian. The onsite restaurant isn't too good, but there are some really nice restaurants if you walk down towards the lake. Reception staff were very helpful, particularly the lady with curly hair who helped us to book taxis and look up train times for places we wanted to visit. I will recommend this place to friends and family!

Upon arrival at the hotel we went to reception to check-in at which point was told that our room wasn't ready even tho they knew we were coming early luckily my sister in laws room was ready within 1.5hrs so managed to put all our bags in her room, was about 3hrs after our room was ready. Took our kids to the kids club to which was told our youngest was to young as was a 4 yr minimum but was kids younger then my daughter and her cousin were told to go paint while the other kids played games so they felt very left out and came out. We went b&b but in all the years I have been going abroad this was the only time I have ever experience a none existent maid service, the rooms were very dusty under beds only two plug sockets that were useable unless you wanted to start unplugging things. Shower door never closed properly light fitting not fitted to ceiling. The hotel was very isolated, really needed a car to get anywhere from shops to restaurants unless you had a death wish and walk along a very busy road with no footpath on speaking to our rep he said that the hotel tended to say its ok to walk as previous guests found a close taxi firm was being pushed on them. Not once was this stayed anywhere. The restaurant on site overall was ok found a piece of glass in our daughters meal one night glass was taken away but never offered a refund or a replacement meal so my daughter had to eat mine which I thought was appauling. The swimming pool and the gardens were the best parts of the hotel. Sad to say I won't be recommending or returning to this hotel
