Gardone Riviera Hotel Guide - 5 stars Hotels in Gardone Riviera, Italy

The hotel is beautifully located on Lake Garda. The facilities (indoor & outdoor pool, spa , sauna, gym, hot tubs, etc.) are very well maintained and the dining is very good. Best breakfast of any hotel we have stayed at in recent memory. The staff is very well trained and consistently helpful. The prices are quite reasonable. getting around via car was easy in September, but in the July-August high season, it would be much slower. Going through d'Annuniza's home (within walking distance) is easily a half day visit, while driving to Mantua and visiting the Palazzo del Te and seeing Giuilio Romano's masterpieces is a priceless trip. There are many wonderful nearby restaurants to visit, while the nearby town of Salo will not disappoint the shoppers in your party.

My wife and I spent two nights at Bella Riva and were impressed. The hotel is in an attractive, tranquil location on the lake, with views of the mountains and towns in the distance. The design is chic with images from Paul Klee at the entrance, 19th century classic furniture in the bar, a good sense of space throughout, and a wide selection of books on art and architecture that we enjoyed skimming through over breakfast. Quality is high throughout so it's an easy choice for either families or couples looking for a something special. As with many hotels, drinks and extras were overpriced, even by our own Central-London standards, but that's an easy opt-out. Overall, highly recommended.

I took my wife here for a surprise birthday treat and all I can say is I was very impressed with my choice!! I only went by reviews and was not disappointed at all! Staff are very friendly and helpful, always on hand to give advice and make any arrangements you wish. Hotel itself is very clean and probably has one of the best views I have seen overlooking Lake Garda. Highly recommend this one!!
