We had an amazing stay at Hotel Kairos Garda and the staff were the absolute best. Very helpful, warm and kind, always at any time. Especially the host Diana, she is the absolute sweetest we’ve ever met. When arriving we had a misunderstanding about our room. We booked a 4 bed room for a family of 5 including our 1 year old baby that we wished a crib for. This was unfortunately not possible because the crib couldn’t fit in the room. But Diana helped us to stay at the apartments instead, with much more space for our family and kids without any problems, discussions or extra cost. She also is the most hardworking woman, she fixed everything for us the night we came. Prepared the apartment for us, did the cleaning, brought the baby crib etc. All this while taking care of the rest of the hotel. Always very informative and positive any time we needed help with sightseeing or anything. Impressive! We will never forget the warm welcoming and are very thankful for you making us feel like home. The room and hotel was always very clean, breakfast great with good service. The location of the hotel is great, by car it’s close to the beach, restaurants, food stores, Gardaland that we visited and much more. We had the best time and the area was so beautiful to visit. We made a lot of wonderful memories. We stayed for 4 fantastic days, from the 3-7 of July. We definitely recommend Hotel Kairos Garda to everyone who are visiting. Hopefully we will be back in the future. Thank you so much Diana and the rest of the staff in Kairos. We appreciate everything you did for us. Much love from your guests Diana, Peter and the rest of the family in apartment 407.

Perfect location, right in the centre, easy access to all small and beautiful streets in the old town. Big and comfortable room, very big bed. Great breakfast. Little noisy in the evening if you stay the windows open, but you are in the centre so it’s nothing unexpected. With closed it is very quiet. Sofa in the room was very nice.

we arrive early at around 1030am and were so happy to be able to check into the hotel as the room was ready. the hotel is just across the train station, and we had to get to Milan from there the next day, so it was really easy for us to catch the morning train. we requested for seafood dishes and the chef was so kind to prepare it for us even though it was not in the menu.

FAQs about hotels in Lake Garda

Laidback Resorts and Great Watersports

Set against the backdrop of magnificent mountains, Lake Garda is Italy’s largest lake. Colourful houses and laidback resorts line its shores, each with their own unique character.

Sirmione juts out on a promontory from the southern shore and is accessed through a picturesque, 13th-century castle. Desenzano del Garda to the west has a relaxed harbour and wide promenade with lots of pavement cafes overlooking the lake.

To the north is the sheltered bay of Salò, former capital of the Republic under Mussolini – it’s not hard to see why he chose here as an escape. Continuing north the lake narrows until it reaches its point at Riva del Garda by the southern slopes of the Alps. Although watersports are practised all over the lake, the weather conditions here are particularly favourable for sailing and windsurfing.

On Garda Lake’s eastern shore is Malcesine, whose 13th-century castle stands proud on a rock by the water. Further south is the sophisticated promenade of Garda, and close by is Bardolino – famous for its fabulous red wine. Near the lake’s south-east corner is Gardaland, Italy’s most visited theme park.

Booking.com has hundreds of Lake Garda hotels, apartments and B&Bs with direct access to the beaches and shores of this wonderful Italy holiday destination.

We highly recommend this hotel. We were really surprised with the hotel design, room size, quality of furniture and materials in the bathrooms. We were so impressed with the outdoor pool in the room and sauna with jacuzzi and swing on the balcony! So comfortable rooms, beds with the variants of pillows. Never slept like in this hotel :). Room service also very good. All necessary equipment was every time in the room. Food in the restaurant is also without any words ), everything was perfect. Service in the restaurant, quality and the taste of food! everything so delicious, big variety of wine list and cocktails. You can totally relax in this hotel at any time of the year with its perfect spa and pool. that was sooo relaxing. Stylish and clean. And you can go by foot for about 30 min to the historical town with the castle - Lazise. We saw the taxi from the hotel, but prefer to have walk. And the hotel has very good placement. To any interesting place about 20-30 min by car. To the beautiful Sermione is about 20 min. We are highly recommend this hotel!

This place is absolutely magical. Our apartment was clean , bright, and the room where my kids were was really beautiful. We had a garden view, and there we had total privacy and a lot of places for kids to play. Always hot water , small but well equipped kitchen,it was true enjoyment cooking there . Everyone around was very respectful to sleeping hours, plus the apartment has good sound isolation. Mornings were beautiful, with sun rays breaking through the olive trees , and the sound of birds was making the atmosphere in the garden so perfect that I could spend a lifetime there enjoying it . The pool was great too ,kids enjoyed slides ,one of the pools has heated water . The walk through camp was really something, lake walk also and if you are lucky to catch a clear day , sunset will leave you speechless. Cappuccino and croissants in camp restaurant are excellent , and the personnel working there are extremely polite. I really hope I will come back to Le Palme in the future, and definitely I would love to stay much more days than I did now .

Our stay at this hotel in Italy was without a doubt the highlight of our trip with friends. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome with their warmth and hospitality. The rooms were spotless, spacious, and offered beautiful views that made every morning special. What really stood out was the attention to detail and personalized service—nothing ever felt too much to ask. The location was perfect, with easy access to the lake, local restaurants, and evening walks, which added so much charm to our stay. Breakfast was abundant and delicious, giving us the perfect start to our days. After traveling around Italy and staying at different places, we all agreed this hotel truly offered the best experience of our trip. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area—whether with friends, family, or even for a relaxing break. We will definitely come back!

The property was impressive from the drive up to the entrance. The rooms were so clean and comfortable. we were a family of 7 split across 3 rooms. 2 of our rooms were adjoining so that we could keep an eye on our young children. There were various food options across the three Gardaland hotels, and plenty of entertainment throughout the day for young kids. The staff were amazing - so friendly, particularly Giacomo who welcomed us like family every time we came to the main dining room. The dinner buffet, although fairly pricey, was the best we have ever had. Access to the amazing Gardaland theme park was easy via the free shuttle.

Sirmione is a beautiful location.

Sirmione is a beautiful location. The Roman Villa and the Garda Tours 25 minute boat trip were excellent. The town is very well presented and there are many restaurants. English is widely spoken in the shops and restaurants, so communication is easy. We were there in late October, and the number of visitors was comfortable: a busy vibe but not heaving. I can imagine that it would be very busy in summer.

Easily reached from Verona and an interesting place with it's massive Venetian style defensive walls. It has a couple of pretty areas, but there isn't a lot else of historic interest here. Plenty of nice places to eat though, with Osteria Rivelin and Amici Miei Tipicoteca the standouts that we tried. From here you can use the ferries and buses to go elsewhere quite easily - as long as you are relaxed about bus timetables. Theme parks Gardaland and Movieland are pretty close by as well, for the kids. Finally, the people are lovely and friendly everywhere.

Having spent 311 nights in Limone you must understand that we like it and the surrounding north Lake Garda area. Last year it was selected as the most superb flower decorated town in Italy and at the international competition won the top five 'petals' in it's category of small resorts. The winter population is 1200 people but usually busy with visitors from the end of April till mid October. The only criticism this year is that I detected a cigarette end on some steps! Standards are slipping but the Mayor, Il Sindaco, was quite distressed. If in doubt just go and you will not be disappointed.

Really easy to get to from Verona airport.

Really easy to get to from Verona airport. Beautiful views of the Lake and quick to get to Sirmione which is stunning but can get really busy with tourists. Desenzano town is lovely, lots of eateries, pretty streets, friendly people and beautiful views. The market on a Tuesday was really good, nice to walk around. Many things eg the castle etc are closed on a Monday. I was there 2.5 days which felt enough for me. This included a day in Sirmione. I explored the main sites and then spent a day in Verona on the way home, well worth a day trip or visit.

Great selection of bars, restaurants and cafes, well situated on the lake to get to other parts by bus or boat. Compact town. very easy and quick to get around. Got up and down the lake to Sirmione, Gard, Malcesine, over to Limone. Portese and Gardone slower pace but lovely on the West side of the lake. Classique is a must restaurant as is is Taverna Marconi in Lazise. Too many nice bars to name. Nice market while we were there with great food and leather goods. We didn't do watersports but there are plenty of options, big motor camper sites in the town.

Great and beautiful country not only lake. Riva, Torbole, Limone and Malcesice are quiet and friendly cities. Siermione and Peschiera standard to visit. Enjoy there a nice views from Monte Baldo! Be aware that parking and travelling time can be horrible i summer season. Plan you trips to soon morning otherwise you spend hours in queues waiting for park space. For travelling from notrh to south use A22 highway. Travelling from Torbole to Peschiera around lake takes 2 hours (cyclists, willages, queues)

Nice little village.

Nice little village. Local stores and restaurants and a small port. The castle is beautiful and illuminated by night. We got a rebate voucher from our hotel. Be careful, during offseason most places close 21:00! Opposite to usual habits to eat late. Understandable though with lack of guests.

Garda is a beautiful town with lots of lovely restaurants...

Garda is a beautiful town with lots of lovely restaurants along the promenade. The town is ideally placed for exploring the other towns on Lake Garda by bus and boat. We visited Desenzano and Sirmione to the South, Malcesine and Torbole to the North. We also went to Peschiera and got the Frecciarossa train to Venice for the day. The lake has charming little towns and spectacular mountain views. Very beautiful.
