Grand Hotel Gardone

Excellent Grand Hotel ideally placed next to the pier in Gardone. Stunning lakeside views and very friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast shame about the buffet service for dinner. Many local restaurants on the hotels doorstep giving plenty of choice.

The hotel is tired and closing at the end of this season. The staff and manager are very helpful. Breakfast is ample and fine however the half board evening meals are of low quality and far below expectations for this level of hotel. Our meal costs are being refunded by Jet 2 in full with the great help of the local representative. The local is excellent, the village up the hill is charming. Ample restaurants are located besides the hotel so no need to be concerned about eating local.

Wonderful views best position on Lake Garda.Bedrooms kept very clean and tidy, regular linen and towel changes.Beautiful lounge area dated but charming.Lovely pool area plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas. Very helpful and pleasant staff, with the exception of 1 or 2 on reception who could do with some customer service training Breakfast acceptable, but the evening dinner,if you are on half board is DIRE, no other word covers it. So stay at the hotel but only for BED AND BREAKFAST as there are plenty of lovely restaurants on hand. SO many people have complained but to.no avail,as the charge is 45 euros not worth half that. So we as friends have had to go out in the evenings and pay again for an evening meal, which has been Wonderful but expensive on top of the hotels 4 star charges. Because of the extremely poor evening meals,which is SERVE YOURSELF,I can only give it 2 stars.

Another absolutely fabulous holiday at The Grand Gardone. The views across the lake from our balconies ( room 116, highly recommended ) were wonderful and the location and setting of the hotel are perfect for us. Barbera and her whole team are so friendly and helpful and it was nice to see Mirko again.

After over 30 years and at least 10 visits, this is our last trip to the Grand old lady of Gardone before she gets a £40m+ refit from her new owners. She will re-open in Spring 2026 and we will certainly come back to see her. Although we may be forced to stay elsewhere if the prices rise dramatically as they probably will. At the moment the 25% discount compensates for the slight and inevitable reduction in service, especially evening dinner which is now a relatively restricted buffet rather than the lavish silver service of old. Everything else tho remains the same high quality and the mainly young temporary staff do a good job of replacing the experienced old retainers, now mostly retired. Catch a last chance to see the beautiful Grsnd in its lovely setting before it's too late

This hotel is very Authentic very Italian yes it’s dated but that’s what we wanted a proper Italian feel to the place , we were in a junior suite which was big and spacious ! We were bed and breakfast there are a few great eating places just outside the hotel , There are a few shops to explore and the great thing was the pier for the boats were right outside hotel Along with the ticket booth which will take you to limone ,sirmone ,bardalino etc ,it is a very tranquil place small but picture postcard place. Everywhere we went was authentic and untouched ,, if your looking for a real Italian experience this is the hotel for you , the grounds and to be right on the lake were outstanding ! Just like a village square with shops and eating places and a gorgeous view ,the other places we went to were quite busy compared to Gardone ,

My recent stay at the Grand Hotel Gardone with my family for vacation and work in a deluxe room and juniorr suite with a sea view was exceptional. Here are some highlights: Scenic Views: The deluxe room on the 3rd floor provided breathtaking views of Lake Garda from the balcony, even on rainy days, offering a serene and picturesque experience. The rooms were very comfortable, featuring good mattresses that ensured a restful sleep. The setup was great for Zoom meetings, with a view, armchairs, and a round table ideal for working. The WIFI was great. The junior suite’s walk-in shower was particularly convenient for my parents. Outstanding Staff and Service: Led by the exceptional Mrs. Collini, the staff were incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring every need was met. The reception team provided invaluable advice and tips, enhancing our holiday experience. Just aks. They are so kind. Delightful Dining: Dinner with my parents was a highlight. The service was both kind and very attentive. We could sit by the sea with a beautiful view and had the option to open and close protective covers, ensuring that the rain did not affect our dining experience. The risotto and fish of the day were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Additionally, enjoying tea in the lobby with a sea view added a charming touch to our stay. Relaxing Pool Area: I enjoyed swimming in the beautiful pool right next to the lake. The bar under the magnolia trees was perfect for relaxing with a drink, and the pool area was ideal for sunbathing, sleeping, and reading in the sun. Thank you to Mrs. Collini and her team for making this experience possible. We will definitely come back
