We were all (two couples) pleasantly surprised with our first stay at the Parc Hotel Gritti. Firstly, after a lovely, friendly welcome from the reception staff, we were given two Privilege Rooms, which had a super large terrace with furniture - a great start! The rooms were huge, the beds very comfortable, the large shower was excellent, the kettle and tea-tray was most welcome as was the daily litre bottle of still water that was left in each room.
Having read some previous negative reviews, we didn’t know what to expect at breakfast but honestly, we had no problems whatsoever. It was a bit busy at times but we always got a table straight away and we were happy with the choice of food on offer - something for everyone. The breakfast room was kept clean and tidy by a team of smart, efficient staff.
The staff throughout the hotel, in fact, were smart, efficient and friendly.
A bonus was the provision of afternoon tea each day from 4-5pm - nothing elaborate - just tea, coffee, biscuits and cake or panettone but welcome, all the same.
We didn’t actually use the pool area as we had quite poor weather during our stay but everywhere seemed to be well maintained when we walked through - and the gardens and other communal areas were kept tidy.
This was our tenth holiday in Bardolino but our first stay at the Gritti - and we all agreed that we would be happy to stay there again!
