    Bathroom was very small and not as 5*. Would have liked a proper rain shower head. Too small to both be in the bathroom. Bed was v comfortable but rooms could have been more stylishly decorated

    The food, the staff, the view, the pool

    This hotel is absolutely incredible! It surpassed every single expectation, the most amazing, friendly and helpful staff, we felt so welcome from the moment we turned up… also the welcome drinks are out of this world! The spa is by far the best we’ve ever been to (the tunnel pool that links to the outside pool is a must!)… we spent hours there one rainy afternoon, the beds next to the poolside means you can chill until your hearts content, snacking on dried mango and drinking the peach water in there! We had a deluxe room with a lake view which is highly recommended! Everything you could ever need, exceptionally clean and relaxing. At breakfast there was a guitarist playing soothing tunes, and a pianist in the evening playing at the outside bar… both brought a great vibe which suited the atmosphere perfectly! I could write about this hotel for days, we’ve just returned home and missing it already… but I’ll just say, if you’re planning to stay here, we’re very jealous! We’ll be returning asap! Thank you so much for making our stay unforgettable.

    We had superior first floor lake view rooms which looked directly on to the hotel grounds and lake - fabulous outlook especially as we were lucky enough to have beautiful sunny weather. The breakfast was outstanding , so much choice and very high quality - served in a beautiful setting looking out on the hotel gardens and lake .

    Incredible hotel. Absolutely beautiful architecture (historic) with waterfront access and beautiful gardens. The staff were truly outstanding, so kind, welcoming, and helpful. One highlight of the hotel was the food -- there are multiple amazing restaurants within the hotel, including Il Fagiano (with a Michelin star). Everything about this hotel was simply perfect, I couldn't have picked a more beautiful place to stay in Gardone Riviera.

    Pastries at breakfast could be better, they were generally a little dry.

    Room was comfortable, relatively modern and had a great view. The hotel is right on the edge of Lake Garda - you can swim in the lake or arrange boat hire directly from the hotel. Decent breakfast.

    Not being adults only.

    Stunning hotel and spa. Kept very clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Lovely selection at breakfast and has 2 restaurants on site as well as a bar where you can get lunch and snacks. The view from our room was absolutely stunning looking over the lake, we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and the hotel sent up a complementary bottle of champagne. We loved our stay here, however we felt this would have been better if it was adults only.

    The only minor thing that I would suggest is to look into better soundproof rooms. If you didnt wake up early in the morning you could somtimes hear other guests in the corridors .

    All staff were amazing, very polite and very helpful. Every single detail is thought of and taken care of.

    There wasn't anything we can think of where this hotel can improve.

    We stayed for our 25th wedding anniversary and we couldn't have asked for anything more. From arrival to departure everything was perfect. The staff,food,service, room, facilities location all perfect. We will definitely be returning to this beautiful hotel soon.

    Odd experience with the member of staff who brought our room service. Seemed angry or bothered and wasn't at all friendly.

    This was an impromptu stop on the way to Venice so we had no idea about the area or expectations for the hotel and it completely exceeded all expectations. The property is beautiful and set directly on the lake. The staff were polite, attentive and seemed happy to help with anything. The spa facilities included were excellent, it was great to have both indoor and outdoor pools as well as the Sauna. Breakfast was fantastic with plenty of choice. Overall just a great experience and already booked our next stay.

    It's a bit of a walk to the main part of Gardone although we suspected as much before we arrived. A complimentary bus to Gardone and Salò would have been useful and given the forthcoming refurbishment of the Grand Hotel Gardone (GHG) to five-star standards, the Fasano will have some serious competition. The GHG is right in the heart of Gardone and amenities are just a short walk from the door. The Fasano's in-house restaurants are both a bit too upmarket for our tastes which meant having to walk into Gardone every evening to find something a little less fancy. Finally, we felt that there needs to be a proper paved pathway to Villa Principe as the grass was worn down and a got a bit muddy in the morning dew.

    Staff were excellent, spa facilities were very good, hotel was beautiful with tremendous views over Lake Garda. We had booked a superior room with a partial lake view but we were in Villa Principe and had a full view of the lake and we could hear the waves lapping and the ducks quacking.
