Hotel Villa Smeralda

Beautiful view from the small balcony. Comfortable bed and quiet. Relatively easy parking on site just up the road. Breakfast had a good assortment of offerings.

Hard to find. I wish there were better directions to the hotel. We ended up on a very small road that brought us up the hill above the hotel. Don't follow your gps. Though it is possible to walk into Malcesine, it would be about 15-20 minutes down a steep road with little room for cars to move.

Hotel was quiet and very clean. It had stunning views of Malcesine and the lake, even when sunning ourselves by the pool. Towels are provided for the pool. The rooms were cleaned daily and towels changed. The bed was very comfortable, despite it being too short for my husband he slept well! The shower was hot and powerful. Cati and Catrina were very friendly, chatty and helpful. It was a 10 minute stroll down to the centre of Malcesine and the bus station for day trips and excursions. The hotel also provided transfers for us to and from the airport at an extra charge. I would stay here again but in a larger room

Our room was very small, one of those rooms with little space between the end of the bed and the wall.The balcony was also small and seemed to get very little sun (we were out and about a lot) so I would avoid 217 if you can! Also the hill up to the property can get a little tiring when doing it repeatedly, but that's the price for great views I suppose 🙂

We loved breakfast and the friendly staff there. It was an amazing variety of food. We loved the view while breakfast and dinner. It's no big deal, but a warmer pool wouldn't hurt :-) We are definitely coming back!!!

The staff were amazing! They made us feel as we were staying with very good friends. So friendly and so very helpful! It was great to see them every morning at breakfast and throughout the day. The room was really spacious with our own little patio facing an olive grove and the steps to the swimming pool. Really quiet, as requested. The location is superb - so close to everything but away enough from the noise of the town centre. The food is delicious. I would want to come back.

N/A I liked everything about the place.

We stayed here in April 2022 over the Easter break. Location couldn't have been better, 10 min walk from the centre which we enjoyed very much. The views from the hotel were absolutely breathtaking, we stayed in the superior double lake balcony view room and it was stunning, as we're the views from the terrace and breakfast room too. facilities and food were great. Hotel is quiet modern with lovely decor, we were surprised this isn't a four star hotel as I think they deserve the fourth star.

Nothing

We had a fantastic week stay. Service was amazing from our check in to departure. The views from the balcony of our room and restaurant area were stunning, overlooking Lake Garda and the mountains. Breakfast on the terrace every morning was most enjoyable , with a wide selection of foods available. There also is a rooftop area , decked out with a seating, spa and again more amazing views. Great spot for an evening drink.

Fantastic location, good breakfasts and helpful staff. Nice and quiet too.

There's little external signage, we walked past it twice before we realised it was there. The dinner menu is fairly limited and has a German bias.

Beautiful surroundings. Very friendly staff and hotel owner. Purity. Quite sufficient breakfast. Very convenient and guaranteed parking a few meters from the hotel.

All was Everything was alright.

The hotel was lovely and clean with extremely helpful and friendly staff, who couldn’t do enough for you. The views were exceptional and getting the lake view balcony really paid off.

No complaints at all.

Helpful staff, comfortable rooms, big shower in bathroom, quiet location, terrace on 4th floor has great views.

although not too far would’ve been nicer if it was closer to town
