Nice, clean water, beautiful surroundings but a bit humid and several rain-showers during our week's stay, mostly occurring at night or early morning, with spectacular lightning shows.
Had an amazing stay at this hotel, we had balcony with view of the lake, our package included use of the hot tub on private decking, bottle of prosecco on arrival, the staff couldn't do enough to help you and made us feel very welcome. The food was excellent. Nice warm weather for October only needed raincoat on last day for thunder storm. Beautiful area to travel around and we used the boat to go across the lake to Riva and Malcesine. Look forward to our next visit .
Garda is quite people watching, lots of eating places in the town, and lake views - with some limited shopping
Gorgeous place with lots to do and see. Swimming in the lake is a must. There are so many fantastic restaurants to choose from. Getting around is easy with a great bus service.
no yobs shouting, no football strips, just nice friendly place.can sit in peace at a meal or watch to world go by.finish your evening off with a good selection of ice creams or drinks at hotel tre corne, staff lovely
Oh it is the most beautiful Lake I have ever seen. Most of the times- depending on where you are at,it resembles of the sea,with beautiful blue waters.It is highly populated,with lovely small italian cities all around it.It offers everything you can think of.I loooooove it!!!:-)
We stayed at Sirmione. The view from the castle in the town is amazing. The lake is graceful and elegant. There are many good restaurants and shops selling Italian bags and other stuff. I bought a nice hairpin and umbrella. We rode on a bike to Persichiera at the evening. It was a weekday and there was nobody on the way. But on weekends, there are just too many people to ride on a bike. I cannot forget the view from the castle, simply too amazing.There is a bus from Verona train station to Simirone(Our hotel is at Via Columbare, which is close to the town). The ride takes around 1 hour 15 mins.
it is easy to do, just go to the lakeside. it is so worthwhile. got some great photos and had such great fun. when you are in your own boat you don't feel like a tourist
Amazing views as one descends from the hills towards the lake... the cool waters in the lake beaches are refreshing. fantastic restaurants with really good service and food if you are lucky like we were. Don't stick to the sea views only. There is a lot going on inland and the walks in the city are mesmerizing. Enjoy every single moment here. run away from tourist attractions only and get to see more around.
Liked the coach tours, disliked the hotel food and service, noisy on band night. No A/C as it was "out of season."
