Exactly what we hoped for and more!
We loved our stay! The hotel was fairly no frills, but had everything we needed with a clean room, nice view, good AC and nice bathroom. It was the perfect location close to beaches, parks, ruins, castle and a ton of restaurants and and bars and shops within the old castle city. The staff was so friendly and super helpful in terms of navigation, taxi service and recommendations. I would stay again for sure, and very reasonable pricing in my opinion!

Avoid this hotel
While the hotel itself is quite good, the location is a massive tourist trap, which was not at all obvious on the web site or the hotel description in hotels.com. The rooms are all nonsmoking, but smokers light up right outside the hotel entrance, the doors to which for some strange reason are always left open. As a result, smoke permeates the stairway that is adjacent to the hotel entrance. Breakfast is not good compared to other similar hotels we stayed at in Italy. In particular, the coffee machine is terrible. As for the location, sermione is a huge tourist trap and not the idyllic lake resort we had hoped for. To get to the hotel itself requires special permission to drive into the old city, which is essentially for pedestrians only. So you have to inch along on the narrow cobbled streets hoping the tourists move out of the way. Happily, we didn’t run over any of them! All in all, the hotel was a disappointment.

My only complain about this hotel was related to smoking, it was allowed to smoke at hotel entrance, and balconies. It created a very terrible odour. Aside of that everything was great!

This is a tidy hotel. Bed, pillows, bedding were dreadful Sheets were too narrow to tuck in. Only one chair on the balcony, one chair in the room. Breakfast weak orange juice, canned fruit and stale cereal. Two cheap plastic cups in the bathroom. The staff at the Mavino are very helpful and friendly. Didn't recognise the hotel from the photo on the website.

Felt like my college dorm room
So disappointed in this hotel. The room was so small we could barely walk around the bed. The bed was more like s bench it was so hard. We paid extra for the 'view' which was moot since we wanted to spend as little time as possible in this place. Sirmione is lovely. Just stay somewhere else.

Nice hotel right next to the thermal spa
Driving to the hotel is quite an experience in itself as you are actually driving right through very small roads that almost seem to be only for pedestrians! Parking is not right at the hotel however and you still need to walk a little while but at least you can drop your luggage right at the hotel. Old town Sirmione is absolutely gorgeous and I would recommend going to the ruins and the thermal spa.

Perfect location to visit Sirmione
The hotel is at the very center of Sirmione within the restricted area, which is very convenient since a parking is offered along with the reservation (the parking at about 500m from the hotel). Location in Sirmione is just perfect, service is good and breakfast is ok.

Short break to Sirmione
My friend and I had a short mid week break to Sirmione at the end of June and stayed at the Hotel Mavino. The hotel is small and basic and although the room was a little on the small side, it was perfectly adequate for a four night break. The hotel was clean, reception staff friendly and helpful and the continental breakfast was adequate. Sirmione is beautiful and the hotel is surrounded by restaurants, shops and ice cream parlours. It gets very busy at weekends so better to go mid week and before the high season. The Thermal Spa is amazing and five hours is not long enough to do everything! Take sun tan lotion as there is a terrace with sun beds. Take the ferry to a specific place as timetable makes it difficult to manage to visit more than one place in a day. Garda worth a visit. Took a speedboat trip around the lake, visited the castle and ruins and paddled in the lake. Would highly recommend this trip to adults wanting a relaxing break.

Pleasant stay
Clean room and modern. Each room has a balcony, either facing the lake or the small road. We stayed here during early June in the first floor (the hotel label the 2nd Floor as the first floor). The hotel was full of the smell of fresh flower. The only thing is the car park is 400 miles away from the hotel. You should check-in before you park your car.

Great hotel in the old town
Have to drive in slowly, as mostly pedestrian traffic and cars are only for those staying, living or working there and by permit. All part of the experience and makes for a leisurely atmosphere. Mavino is in the middle of the peninsula between the castle and the Grotte, the ruins of a Roman residence, belonging to Catullo, the poet. Staff wonderful and very helpful. Sirmione is wonderful and Mavina a great place to stay.

Wonderful location inside Sirmionie
Very nice hotel. It is inside Sirmionie which was much nicer than staying outside the castle area. No traffic allowed except for delivery and cars of people staying at the hotels. Wonderful to be there late at night when all the tourists are gone. Hotel was clean, good breakfast, staff friendly, breakfast was delicious and lots of it. Many restaurants near the hotel. Hotel is not on the lake but we had a partial view of the lake from our room.

Clean business-like hotel right in the center.
While booking the room through Expedia several weeks before the stay, I've indicated that a baby cot and a lake view would be great - both wishes were fulfilled at the time we arrived at the hotel.

Lovely Hotel Except for the Bed
This is a lovely, if slightly basic, small hotel in a great location a mere stroll from the historic town centre with it's multitude of restaurants and shops. The one big down side is that the bed (in our room at least) was exceptionally hard and not at all comfortable which did not make for the most relaxing holiday. Also, the hotel does not have on site parking. This is not a major problem as the hotel provides free parking, both in the old town and outside over the bridge but either car park is a few minutes walk from the hotel although Sirmione is such a beautiful old town the walk is very pleasant. All in all I would recommend this hotel if a hard bed isn't a problem.

difficult parking situation
The people who run the hotel are very nice. However, since you must drive thru the town which really does not permit any cars except those going to this hotel and some others at the end of the peninsula, you take the life of a lot of tourists in your hands when you go up to the hotel. If you try to return to the hotel between 2 and 7 on Sunday, it is not permitted. The parking is "500 meters" from the hotel which is about 2 blocks. Parking is in an abandoned hotel field.

Friendly small hotel
We knew nothing about the area and chose Sirmione having read a guide book first. Hotel was small but very comfortable and staff were obliging and friendly. The room was very clean and comfortable and all you would expect for a 3 star establishment - the hotel is fairly new. Very convenient for lots of restuarants. Parking is about 400 metres away up the road. Sirmione is not easy to get in and out of through the throng of tourists and I am glad we were not trying to do so at the height of the season. Breakfast was adequate - there was always plenty of everything although bread could have been fresher. For the cost it was good value and I would recommend it as a budget option in what seems to be a fairly exclusive destination.

Very Pleasant for short breaks
This is a very pleasant small hotel ideally located in the heart of Sirmione old town. It has everything you need for a short stay but you may find that for a longer visit its facilities are limited. The rooms a clean, modern and comfortable as well as being a reasonable size. The rooms have all the things you would expect, air conditioning, a TV, mini bar, a safe and plenty of hanging space. Loved the bathroom, which had a semi wet room feel, but imagine that some may not like the floor getting wet (the bathmat that soon solves the problem). Lovely hard wood floors instead of the usual tiles. Found the staff helpful and keen to please.
