Perfect location in cozy not so turisty village. Kind and welcoming staff. Perfect view from terrace to lake Garda. We liked that place a lot and we would like to return in future.

We were there during extreem hot weather and where missing a small fridge and airconditionig. Althoug the second night, there was some wind that cooled down the room naturally.

Nice family hotel with a lot of local charm. Breakfast stands out of Italian standards. Location is excellent. We got an upgrade to a room with balcony with direct view on the lake. The owner was very helpfull and recommended us a beautiful mon tain road for our journey back.

It was hot

Location near the lake and close to the beach, lovely town, friendly staff

It is a little noisy because the room was facing the most busy street in town, and Italians just make a lot of noise at night and in the mornings on their vespas. But we were given earplugs and we still slept like babies.

this place made us feel at home right away. The family that owns the place are the nicest people, and they also treated our dog so nice. It was not luxury, but it was the best stay of our entire trip to Italy. The location, the people and the view from the terrasse where we had breakfast was amazing.

It was a perfect stay

Gorgeous hotel with a really charming vintage vibe. Incredible lakeside location and amazing views from the rooms. Quiet spot, but central to Gargnano. Gargnano itself is a heavenly lakeside town, fully of charisma, but calm and not over run by the hoards (at least in June when we were there). Eduardo was the perfect host, as were his team. The perfect balance of friendliness, efficiency and professionalism. We could not have asked for a more perfect stay. The breakfast was really great, (as a vegetarian), tasty options, and again an incredible view from the breakfast lounge/

We loved the location, Gargnano is idyllic, with incredible scenery and several delicious restaurants. The hotel is well located and the staff is very friendly and attentive (the sweetest people!). The accommodations are simple but very comfortable and clean, it was exactly what we were looking for. The breakfast is delicious and for just 7 euros. Impressive. We love everything and surely will come back.

The room could have been a little larger.

The hotel is in the very center of Gargnano. Super comfortable and easy to get to. Everything is in walking distance. The staff was very friendly.

A family ran hotel in a great location with a superb atmosphere. The building itself is very nice, with an amazing waterfront terrace. Be sure to ask Edoardo the receptionist about his wine selection - he has some fantastic bottles stored for guests. :)

If you read the hotel’s honest description of what they provide, there’s nothing not to like!

I work for a global travel company and part of my job involves experiencing and reviewing 5 Star hotels around the world. I only make the time to write reviews for my personal stays when the experience is either exceptional or unsatisfactory. My personal travel is on a budget, but because I’ve got used to the 5 Star hotel experience, I always try to look for a hotel with a wow factor...the more trips I take, the harder it seems to get to be truly wowed. However, the Garni Riviera wowed, so here’s my review! WHAT’S GREAT: 1- THE FRIENDLY SERVICE - THANK YOU EDUARDO! Eduardo is the nephew of the hotel owner. We always found him at the hotel reception ready to help with anything from unloading luggage (it was hot, but he looked very cool in his new linen shirt!), advising on parking (he provided directions and a permit for €3 a day), advice on ferries (he helped us translate the timetable, advised on best places to visit, and gave us a discount voucher), he helped with restaurant reservations (it was our son’s birthday and we hadn’t realised most places get fully booked). and he even helped us recharge our fans (when we’d foolishly brought the wrong adapters). With theses and many other things, Eduardo truly went over and above to ensure we had a great stay. 2- LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! The hotel has a prime lakefront position in the beautiful little town of Gardnano (we loved north Garda more than the touristy south - maybe the time of year would make a difference to that opinion?). There is a large first-floor terrace/balcony that overlooks the lake with amazing views. You can have your breakfast on the terrace (complimentary if you book your stay directly with the hotel, or pay €7 per person locally). We loved sitting on the shady terrace in the early evening (it has no food/drink service but you can bring a drink up from the hotel’s cute little indoor bar located downstairs). 3- THE HOTEL IS IN GOOD REPAIR AND KEPT IMMACULATELY CLEAN!

Excellent location, everything is within walking distance, it is convenient to travel around the lake. Friendly staff, quality breakfast. I recommend.

One very small thing. We took the ferries everyday and it was only as we were leaving that we were given a discount card to use on the ferries. That would have been helpful from day one!!

The staff are very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The use of the terrace is unique as no other hotel allows you to use such a facility in anyway you want. We could have got take out food and eaten there, but we did not think that we could really.
