Hotel Malcesine

Excellent location with lake view and the staff is good. If they can provide free bottles of water, that's perfect.

Hotel Malcesine was magnificent! The staff were some of the kindest we have ever met. We stayed for 7 nights on a half board basis and could not fault the hotel experience at all, everything was great. Food and cocktails were fab! The separate restaurant overlooking the lake is open to the public but hotel guests receive 10% discount which was useful. Housekeeping made up our room every morning before we made it back from breakfast and they were all very pleasant. The hotel updates often by signage of local events going on in the area week to week which was handy to find out events going on that we weren’t aware of. There is also a big market a 2 min walk from the hotel every Saturday morning. The view of the lake from the hotel is incredible. The local area of Malcesine is stunning and there is a lot to do within the resort area. We visited the castle, took the cable car to the top of the Monte Baldo, went on a 2 hour panoramic yacht cruise around the lake, visited Limone twice during our stay which is a 15 min ferry ride away and 9 euros return per person on the ferry, we also made sure to visit Venice and Verona during our stay too. Malcesine is the prettiest place and I already can’t wait to return! Thank you to all the staff at the hotel for making our stay so wonderful and memorable - you are the best!

I was a little concerned reading reviews ahead of our stay but was pleasantly surprised. Yes, it's a bit tired, basic....but....super clean, location amazing with stunning views, staff all so friendly and the meals from the restaurant are lovely with a 10% discount given to guests. All in all, a very comfortable stay at a great price, you couldn't get a better location for the money and in Lake Garda you spend every second you can looking at the views not in your room!
