The pristine shores of lake garda are dotted with hotels offering near-perfect views. From the chalet chic, wind-swept towns on the northern shore, under dramatic rocky amphitheatre cliffs to the Belle Epoque villas of the riviera stretch to the Mediterranean-feeling south – there’s something to suit every taste.
Whether you’re looking for a family-friendly hotel with a sunny rooftop pool or a romantic getaway with choice couples’ dinners, our picks will help you plan your dream trip. The high season in Lake Garda is peak summer, so book well ahead to avoid disappointment.
One of the best lake garda hotel options is the Grand Hotel Terme in Sirmione, where all communal areas overlook the lake and the L’Orangerie restaurant has an especially good vantage point for dining on dishes such as glazed mackerel with fennel, radish, and pink grapefruit. In contrast, the small-scale Hotel Meridiana in Malcesine is designed to feel like a private country house and has rooms featuring futon-style or pared back four-poster beds and partition screens with perfectly positioned lamps.
Other Lake Garda hotels with great lake views include the Hotel Du Lac, right on the Lungomare, where you can enjoy breakfast with a view. For a touch of luxury, upgrade to a room with a lake-view balcony.
The Park Hotel Imperial is another luxury option, just above the town of Limone sul Garda. Its elegant rooms have big balconies – some with sweeping lake views – and the spa has a Turkish bath, sauna, and a range of beauty treatments. lake garda hotel
