I was hesitant to book after reading mixed reviews but overall we had a wonderful three night stay. Pros 1. Stunning hotel and peaceful/ extensive grounds with panoramic views of the lake on both sides. 2. Very friendly and professional staff (big shout out in particular to reception, valets and pool guys). 3. Wonderful food (particularly breakfast). We also enjoyed Maria Callas American Bar and Restaurant - open all day, great food, service and reasonable prices. The concierge also recommended some excellent restaurants in Sirmione. 4. Loved the pool and pontoon. 5. We enjoyed activities - bike rides, boat trip and strolling around Sirmione. Cons 1. Sirmione is very busy at this time of year so driving through the crowds in the Old Town is a little challenging - the smaller the car the better! 2. Minor irritants in room (Junior Suite) - small shower (which did not drain well), poor WiFi, no international TV channels and no beer in the minibar! But otherwise beautiful, spacious, clean and very comfortable bed.
