Hotel Val Di Sogno - Adults Only ★★★★

"We stayed here for a week in early September. Following a tour of other parts of Italy, we took the Hydrofoil ferry from Desenzano to Malcesine. Unfortunately, a storm broke during this part of the trip and we ended up getting soaked on leaving the ferry. To make matters worse, we couldn’t get hold of a taxi on at the port side, despite several calls, so ended up calling the hotel to see if they could help. Put simply, the staff were amazing. In particular, Katia was extremely helpful and not only took the time to arrange a taxi to come and collect us, but also reassured us by explaining exactly where to meet the taxi and which direction it would come from. This was above and beyond the service we had hoped for and we were so grateful for Katia’s kind attitude and guidance, which continued at the end of our stay when she advised regards local transport. To add to this, Katia and her colleague Dariya made us feel very welcome when we finally arrived and Sylvie even thought to bring us a hand towel to reception, to help us dry off! I have to say this welcome was overall one of the very best we’ve ever had in any hotel and it quickly became apparent to us that where the hotel comms spoke about wishing to provide customers with a positive experience, this ethos was wholeheartedly put into practice by the staff throughout the whole of our stay. The hotel itself is wonderful - very clean (maids would refresh our room every day), featured all mod cons - a fridge, large screen TV with several British TV channels, an excellent bathroom, a walk in wardrobe and plenty of storage space. Mostly though, we were extremely impressed with the ample-sized balcony and the INCREDIBLE views of Lake Garda…! Words can’t really do justice to the views we had (we understand every room here has the same) and combined with the lovely pool and garden area and the sheer proximity to the lake (just a matter of steps), we really couldn’t have asked for anything better. Breakfast was superb - a huge range of top quality items in the buffet, not to mention the opportunity to request ‘extra’ cooked items such as fried or poached eggs. We’d like to make special mention of Ejuna and her sister who hosted the breakfast area - they were especially helpful and welcoming each morning and cooked the most amazing omelettes…we were impressed with not only how friendly they were but how professional they were in coping with so many people each morning. Every single visit to breakfast was relaxing, very tasty and a lovely way to start the day. As others have stated, Malcesine is only a short walk away - yes with some hills en route, but these aren’t too bad, providing you aren’t too restricted in your mobility. I’d suggest a taxi otherwise. We ate in the hotel on the first night and were again impressed with the service and standard of food. Following that, for variety’ sake we tried as many places in the area as we could and although they were all good, none of them ever managed t"

Hotel Vega ★★★

"We stayed at Hotel Vega, as a party of six and could find nothing negative to say about Hoptel Vega. The hotel is very well appointed, with a fresh, modern interior which, together with the rooms are maintained spotlessly clean. Marco, the owner, was on hand at almost every hour of the day, to attend to any needs, and impart his local knowledge; even walking to a local restaurant to confirm our booking as we couldn't get an answer by telephone."

Hotel Querceto Wellness & Spa by Double Hospitality ★★★★

"Always good to be back in this Paradise! The view, the Spa facilities, the garden, all impeccable. This year we were particularly impressed by the food at dinner: delicious to say the least! Every dish was curated to the details, balanced flavors and great quality. it was the first time that we decided to have dinner every evening of our stay, heads up to the Chef! And excellent wines too! Thank you again to all the staff and the Manager Luca to make us feel at home, once again!"

Ambienthotel Spiaggia ★★★

"2 adults, 2 kids (10 and 7). Perfect stay for all of us. Such a beautiful hotel and a beautiful setting. Chilled out vibe, lots of sunbed space around the pool, lovely breakfast and lovely staff. The lake is literally right at your doorstep, which meant we could go for an evening sunset swim while the kids chilled out in the room for a few minutes. The lake was always calm because it's sheltered from the moutnain winds by the little peninsula, silky smooth and clean water. We walked into Malcesine most days, brought our togs and took a few dips in the lake on the way (lovely walkway all the way, just a small patch that's shared with cars up to Spar). Also took a boat trip to Limone . If you want bikes for kids, you have to bring them with you, couldn't rent kids bikes unfortunately because the bike paths follow the lake. Would definitely love to come back. What a serene and beautiful place ."

Hotel Modena Old Town ★★

"We stayed here for 10 days in July in room 105. I had emailed the hotel before the stay and asked for a low floor and a quiet room. We had just that. We were late arriving due to flight delays so had instructions on how to let ourselves in with a lockbox which worked perfectly. Due to the late hour we had been left some snacks which were really appreciated. Room was very clean with adequate storage. Nice en-suite with shower. We had aircon and an overhead fan so easy to cool for sleeping. Cleaning everyday. Clean towels every other day. Spotless. Breakfast was very nice - fruit and cereals, boil your own eggs and cold meats, toast and croissants and jams. Coffee good. We did an early start one day for a trip to Verona and they kindly packed us a breakfast bag - same for our early departure home. Lovely hotel right in the middle of the port area. Great staff who are so friendly and helpful. Would not hesitate to recommend if you would like a quality good value stay in the heart of Malcesine"

Hotel Capri ★★★

Hotel Europa ★★★★

Beach Hotel du Lac Malcesine ★★★★

"I first came here when I was 18 and returned in July 2024 with my 11 year old son. This hotel is outstanding. It's been family-run for decades and this is reflected in the presentation/feel of the property - it feels like home. The location is amazing, the staff are fantastic (special mention to the receptionist, Michael, who made are stay very easy when it came to booking and arrangements). The food is wonderful. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel."

Hotel Malcesine ★★★

"A little dated but clean and the location is ideal"
