Hotel Augusta Lago di Garda

We booked The Augusta hotel through Tui. We liked the location of the hotel as it was away from the centre of the town and very handy for walks and the cable car up Monte Baldo. The hotel is run by the Benedetti family. They were all very efficient and kind and we were made to feel very welcome. The rooms are of a good size and although the bathroom is small it was perfect for our needs. Despite reading a comment about the beds being hard, we didn’t find this and had no problems sleeping at all. There is air conditioning available upon request and even when ours had a technical hitch Riccardo came to the rescue and sorted it out straight away. Breakfast is very good, with a lovely selection of cooked and cold food, juices, teas and coffees. We made a point of using the bar at the hotel everyday before dinner and chatted to other guests ( despite the language barrier, we did ok!) We had a lovely week and would definitely return to this hotel. Oh and one final thing, we were sent up a breakfast tray on our last day as we were leaving before the breakfast service started - a nice touch. Thank you for having us and hopefully we will see you again Benedetti family 😊

We stayed at Hotel Augusta for our Honeymoon in August, booked via TUI.. The hotel was in a perfect location for us. We loved having a mountain view room overlooking Monte Baldo and the cable car - was brilliant being able to sit on the large balcony and watch the cable car or paragliders. It was an easy walk for us (could be more challenging if you had mobility issues) to the restaurants, osterias, gelaterias, shops, bus station and the ferry but was far enough away to feel calm and peaceful. The room itself was a good size, simply furnished and very clean. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice of breads, cakes, fruits plus cheese, meats, cereal, yogurt etc and the coffee machine made pretty good drinks too. You could even make your own smoothie. The pool area was a peaceful oasis with lovely trees and a view of the castle. Lay on your sunlounger you could look up and watch the paragliders descending. Even though we were there in the August holiday week for Italians and the hotel was busy there was always still plenty of space to sit/lay available at the pool area. The only slight downsides that prevented me giving a five star rating were that on the days when we went on excursions to Verona and to The Dolomites we had to be at the bus station to be picked up at 8 am and because breakfast at the hotel didn’t start till 8 this created a little issue. We asked at reception if we could get a sort of packed lunch style breakfast on these days but they suggested calling into the breakfast area just before we left and take what we like from what had been laid out. The problem was that what had been put out at that time wasn’t very portable. The other minor issue was that although the bathroom was of a good size the shower itself was quite small and I kept banging myself on the fittings. Overall, these minor points don’t detract from this being an excellent hotel but are just little things that could be improved.

This was our 3rd visit to Augusta Hotel. Spotlessly clean hotel. Staff and family are lovely. Excellent variety at breakfast. Best scrambled egg ever! Beautiful indoor and outdoor swimming pool. Reasonable bar prices with drinks served by the very helpful Ricardo. Location is perfect for the town. Really can't fault this hotel. Will definitely return soon.

We stayed at this hotel for two nights whilst visiting for a friend's wedding. The hotel is clean and has a good sized pool. Our room was basic but exactly what we needed. Aircon is available over night and we had a good sized balcony which allowed us to look at the town and mountains. At night, this view was stunning aswell. We were right opposite the cable car and a 4 min walk to the town. Everything is within walking distance to this hotel. We also really enjoyed the breakfast provided which was plentiful and slightly different each day. I would definitely stay here again.
