If you like good breakfast, you have plenty to choose from bacon and eggs to sweet bakery and various fresh fruits. The noise from the street and lack of lake view from lower lewels a minus, but the nice walking way beside the lake starts close to the hotel. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 7 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great spot for tour around Garda Lake We stayed only two nights but we really enjoyed the location and style of a hotel. Great service and very nice people around. The room was comfortable and clean. Only disadvantages were weak internet connection in the room and the elevator which should be renewed immediately. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marta 15 Nov 2023 Liked: Amenities super ##### Marta Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Casa sull'Albero](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malgrate-Hotels-Casa-SullAlbero.h5938701.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Splendid Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Limone-Sul-Garda-Hotels-Hotel-Splendid-Palace.h13378309.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Liberty - Lake Como Rooms & SPA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Como-Hotels-Villa-Liberty-Lake-Como-Rooms-SPA.h21570630.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Royal Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Limone-Sul-Garda-Hotels-Hotel-Royal-Village.h1880548.Hotel-Information) > > [EALA My Lakeside Dream – Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Limone-Sul-Garda-Hotels-EALA.h39336031.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel le Palme](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Limone-Sul-Garda-Hotels-Hotel-Le-Palme.h13378423.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Lecco Pontevecchio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lecco-Hotels-NH-Lecco-Pontevecchio.h565729.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Promessi Sposi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malgrate-Hotels-Hotel-Promessi-Sposi.h82662373.Hotel-Information) > > [Onda Blu Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manerba-Del-Garda-Hotels-Residence-Onda-Blu.h32121493.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Cipressi - by R Collection Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Varenna-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Cipressi.h22199491.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Centrale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cernobbio-Hotels-Hotel-Centrale.h2542542.Hotel-Information) > > [AQVA Boutique Hotel (Adults Only) - Sirmione](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sirmione-Hotels-Aqva-Boutique-Hotel.h18724865.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Lake Como](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Como-Hotels-Hilton-Lake-Como.h17246644.Hotel-Information) > > [Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gargnano-Hotels-Lefay-Resort-SPA-Lago-Di-Garda.h2239660.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Sofia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gardone-Riviera-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Sofia.h1497169.Hotel-Information) > > [La Limonaia Hotel & Residence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Limone-Sul-Garda-Hotels-La-Limonaia-Hotel-Residence.h1629467.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Bellavista](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Menaggio-Hotels-Hotel-Bellavista.h3644157.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Leonardo da Vinci](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Limone-Sul-Garda-Hotels-Hotel-Leonardo-Da-Vinci.h66252.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Fasano](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gardone-Riviera-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Fasano.h2688657.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Excelsior Splendide](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bellagio-Hotels-Hotel-Excelsior-Splendide.h1511921.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Du Lac](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Menaggio-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Lac.h2525952.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blevio-Hotels-Mandarin-Oriental.h3684389.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Cristina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Limone-Sul-Garda-Hotels-Hotel-Cristina.h2690293.Hotel-Information) > > [Griso Collection Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malgrate-Hotels-Griso-Collection-Hotel.h70592610.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Milano](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Toscolano-Maderno-Hotels-Hotel-Milano.h2671216.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Lake Como Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Como-Hotels-Sheraton-Lake-Como-Hotel.h13038.Hotel-Information) > > [Olivi Hotel & Natural Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sirmione-Hotels-Hotel-Olivi-Thermae-Natural-Spa.h1091754.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Serenella](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sirmione-Hotels-Hotel-Serenella.h54189645.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Continental Wellness & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sirmione-Hotels-HOTEL-CONTINENTAL-Wellness-Thermal-Spa.h1600278.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Gardone Riviera](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gardone-Riviera-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Gardone-Riviera.h15589.Hotel-Information)
