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. :)

The terrace at breakfast, the location close to the lake and centre, good choice of bars and restaurants close by.

Everything was perfect

Everything!! A beautiful seafront room! The whole stay was so romantic in my favourite place on lake Garda. Breakfast was exceptional with the most incredible place to sit and enjoy the lake views. I had to pinch myself!!

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.

during hot nights air conditioning would be helpful :D

Very cozy place with nice and willing personal. we had room with beautiful view od Garda lake. Great posision of hotel close to many restaurants, beach and boat. Gargnano is lovely small town with not so many tourists.

Stayed in July 2023

The rooms looking to the lifthoof are noisy and hot, specially in the evening, when noisy engines are working and hot air is coming up from the kitchen of the restaurant downstairs. There is no air conditioning and fridge in the rooms which was a bit disappointing at 36 degree (but it.might be the reason for the 2 stars, as the hotel is splendid except this feature) , but when mentioning it, we got a fan straight away.

The owners of the hotel were lovely, helpful, did everything to make our stay comfortable. Any questions we had- they were there to answer. The location of the hotel is splendid, The rooms are nice and clean, beds are comfotable. View from the breakfast terrace is over the top. The breakfast was really nice, good value for money. The rooms overlooking to the street are nice.

Hotel is a pearl in a small and beautiful city of Gargnano. Located on the first line with an amazing sea view. Terrace which used for breakfast seems like a boat in the sea. Our room was big and comfy. There was everything for comfortable stay. The host and staff are very friendly.

Difficult to find a parking spot. Loud garbage collection early in the morning (9am).

Big room and spacious bathroom. Very friendly receptionist/owner, who helped us finding a spot to park the car. Breakfast was 6euro extra, but well worth the price. Plenty of choice and a nice view on the sunny balcony.

The staff that welcomed us was warm and funny, the room met our expectations and it was super clean. On top of that, the hotel has a hidden terrace with an amazing view of the lake. Could not expect more!

The beds were quite hard.

Really lovely hotel. Perfectly located. We heard the swash, splosh of the lake as we fell asleep at night. Everywhere was sparkling clean and the staff were extremely friendly. Breakfast was on a beautiful terrace and there was quite a good selection.

Room should face the lake. Otherwise, it could be really noisy.

Location, friendly staff, beautiful terrace facing the lake.

Stayed in August 2021

not really we did not like it, but be warned that it can be loud at night because this hotel is in the old town.

This is the most beautiful hotel I have ever stayed in - room, furniture, light, curtain - all are beautifully presented and connected! Breakfast is lovely, view is unbeatable. It is just next to the ferry terminal and the bus station, so reaching here is easy. But just that you will have to plan your trip in advance according to the bus/ferry schedule. Highly recommended!
