An excellent hotel at really good value. The area its in is quiet but convenient, with the bus stop very close and lots of shops and well as great restaurants. The hotel also offers bike and electric scooter hire too - though we didnt opt for either as it was so easy to get around by bus or on foot. Its an alright waliing distance from sirmione castle as well, walking right next to the lake.
Service at the hotel is excellent, staff are amazingly welcoming and friendly. And i agree with other reviews the breakfast spread is outstanding.
The room was comfortable with a lovely powerful rain shower. Only thing to note is beds are quite firm.
Overall a great stay id highly recommend
All in all an excellent stay.

Dedicated to our precious Guests! jewel of islands and of peninsulas, Whatever each Neptune carries In the stagnant clear waters and in the vast sea, How gladly and how happy I see you, Scarcely myself believing myself that I have left behind Thynia and the Bithynian fields and that I see you in safety. O what is more blessed than cares freed, When the mind puts down its burden, And we tired from foreign labor come To our hearth and rest in a longed for bed? This is that which is the one thing for such great labors.

I loved absolutely everything about this property. My six night stay with my wife and a few close friends was an amazing experience. The location is amazing, the staff is awesome and the breakfast is what motivated me to wake up early to start my day. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.

We had a family room which was a good size for 4 of us. Service was great with staff always willing to help. The pool on the roof was fabulous and open good hours. Breakfast was a great selection the kids loved the pancakes. Hotel is in a great location to do day trips to other parts of the lake and Verona. Easy bus service just down the road to get into the town centre. Plenty of restaurants close by.

The city was beautiful, even in the rain. The nearby restaurants were tasty and not too expensive.
The desk clerk/concierge was super friendly and helpful. We had ordered an anniversary package and it included a beautiful flower arrangement and a bottle of Prosecco.
The only drawback was a lack of football on TV.

Nice hotel, noise from road
We stayed at the hotel one night, so we cant provide full review on all services, overall it was good for one night before flight, the room and shower was ok, the only negative is the car noise from the road, they should put double glazed windows, ask for the other side of the building.

Pool looked lovely , but not open because we were out of season.
Breakfast was fine and they cooked omelette fresh for me every morning.

Would recommend and would stay again.

The Hotel Alfieri was perfect for our stay in Sirmione. Its location is in a quiet area (didn’t get disturbed once from outside noise) yet only a 2 minute walk from bars, restaurants and bus stops. Everything was spotlessly clean and tidy, and the room was perfect for our 3 nights stay. Nothing was to much trouble for the staff and having a 24 hour reception is always a good thing. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to my family and friends.

Dear Mrs. Claire,
thank you for choosing Hotel Alfieri for your stay in Sirmione. We are very sorry to hear the inconvenience with the breakfast. As the breakfast is served until 10.00 I am very surprised to hear that. Our waiters are attent to replace the items until the closing time, but in case of need you can always feel free to ask them, they are there to assist and to help.
Looking forward to welcoming you back, we wish you our best wishes.
10 days at the hotel Alfieri and very enjoyable they were too!
All the staff were very friendly & extremely helpful in every aspect of our stay.
The rooms were basic but comfortable & the air conditioning was a godsend!
The pool on the roof was amazing as was the view.
The restaurant was very clean & my only criticism would be that it could have been made more comfortable with air conditioning.
Breakfast was plenty with many choices. Evening meal also consisted of choices for all three courses & the staff were very accommodating. Would visit again & would recommend to anyone visiting the Sirmione area of lake Garza.

More than expected clean quite air conditioned room staff very welcoming and helpful. Quality food and very well presented no complaints at all would recommend hotel
We stayed here at the end of our tour of northern Italy. Its a great place to relax. The staff were very helpful. The breakfast had lots of choice, you could even make your own fruit juice using the juicer and good choice of fruit ready to add. The bicycle loan is really good as we borrowed them to ride to the centre of Sirmione one evening. Unfortunately it rained heavily for most of the two days we were there but the roof top pool is a great bonus. Walking distance were plenty of good eating places if you didn't want to eat in the hotel.
Very nice staff, went above and beyond. We had a lovely stay! Good parking too!

a great find from the minute you arrive you feel a member of the family,all the staff are attentive and very helpful nothing is to much trouble, the breakfast is much more then your average continental the dinner in the evening is good value and the hotel is well positioned for access to the lake and to visit Verona
The hotel was clean, and comfortable. The pool was cold, but with October weather to be expected. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Location is also good as the hotel does provide a bike service - 15-20mins to the main gate by bike. Great value and actually provides for a pleasant lakeside bike ride!
Great area for a relaxing break and the hotel staff were excellent. The Lake Garda area has wonderful scenery

Nice hotel but room far too small to be comfortabl
The hotel is well positioned near the town & restaurants with nice pool area. Unfortunately the room was extremely small with a double bed and not even room for a bedside table. Like many other hotels the bathroom design was impracticable with no where easily to hang towels, put your toiletries etc. also the bathroom was very small in size. Other than that, the hotel was very pleasant.

Near to Restaurants but Away from Historic Sights
This was an average hotel with standard rooms facing a busy main road. There are nearby restaurants but the historic part of town is a fair way away. This is helped by the free use of bikes (with no gears) from the hotel. Staff are immensely helpful although it took some time to get English speaking channels on their satellite TV. The breakfast spread was one of the best in our 4 weeks of travelling
You cannot get a warmer welcome than the one we received from this hotel, all the staff were extremely kind and polite and the welcome drink was indeed very welcome. The manager and his staff do the hotel a lot of credit.
Staff amazing from reception to restaurant couldn't have been more helpful!!!

Cosy (small) room
Many things were good but even with an upgrade the room was small. There was no drawer storage for clothes so we had to live out of suitcases, and therefore the cases took valuable space from the room. Service was good. Food was very limited and even though good value we eat out most evenings. The amenities were decent for the size of the hotel. Good location, although a decent walk into Sirimone town.
We stayed here for 2 nights & found the hotel very comfortable & clean. The manager was extremely helpful. We had booked the room online & inadvertently booked 4 single beds for 2 adults & 2 children. Luckily they had a free room with a double bed and 2 singles which they offered us (as well as an aperitif while we checked in!). The breakfast & dinners were good value & the kids loved the rooftop pool. Definitely recommend this hotel and we would love to visit again.

Affordable, friendly small hotel in Columbare
We stayed for one night and were pleased to find easy street parking outside the hotel. It is located in Columbare (around 15 min bike ride from Sirmione) and the hotel supply bikes for its residents ( €4 after the first 3 hours, which are free).
The hotel staff are friendly and helpful enough, however the rooms really are small and the walls paper thin. I would not recommend more than a one night stay- especially if like us, you have lots of luggage with you.
Columbare itself is perfect for dinner and Sirmione is lovely for the day. The bikes made it a fun stay for us.
However if you're not fit and willing to put up with a very small room (we could barely get around the bed and we're not big people), I would advise against the stay. It must be said though that the staff were lovely and the price quite reasonable.
Overall stay was good, welcomed on arrival with drink and told what terms etc of hotel. Breakfast good with a rooftop pool. Location good as out of busy area but number of restuarnts and bars in couple of min distance.
This is a truly fantastic hotel in a great location just outside the old town of Sirmione. The staff cannot do enough to be helpful and the hotel is in an immaculate condition. The rooms, outside spaces, breakfast room and pool are all in great condition and immaculately maintained.
Breakfast is outstanding - both the food and the service! The free bike rental is a huge bonus and really ensured that we could make the most of the location.
