We stayed at Hotel Porto Azzurro for only one night because Sirmione was a stopover on our drive back to Munich. I wish we could have stayed longer because the area is beautiful, and so was the hotel. When we arrived mid-afternoon, it was raining so we didn't get to see the vista from Lake Garda to the mountains just beyond. But, I digress. The hotel is pretty, modern, clean, has nice amenities and offered a good, complimentary breakfast. The bedding was comfortable, and the linens and towels of good quality. Parking was a breeze, as the hotel has its own lot. Sirmione reminded me of the southern California coast, but instead of ocean, there was lake and mountains. I would call the area posh and trendy, kind of like Carmel, because of its boutique shops and nice restaurants. The terrain is also flat, so walking is easy. Instead of eating dinner in town — many restaurants were closed on the Friday night in October when we were there — we dined in the hotel's restaurant. Service was prompt and friendly, and the food was good. I ordered risotto with capers — an unusual, tasty entree.
