Hotel Derby is a family-run hotel in Lugana (part of Sirmione). It is very well maintained, the rooms were spotlessly cleaned every day. The breakfast was very good. The hotel car park has only 8 parking lots but there is a free public parking opposite the hotel on the other side of the street. The owners Laura and Sergio are very nice people, always smiling and very helpful. During our stay there was a heavy hailstorm that damaged all the cars (front and rear windscreens broken on all the cars in the region). After the hailstorm ended Sergio covered all the cars with plastic foils to prevent other damages. We had tickets to opera in Verona (35 km from Sirmione) and our car was unusable. Sergio offered to pick us up after the opera ends (after midnight) and drive us back to the hotel. Laura and Sergio are definitely the kindest and the most helpful hosts we have ever met. Thank you, Laura and Sergio !

We stayed at Hotel Derby for 5 nights and we would highly recommend it. It’s a 45 minute walk to old town Sirmione which is very scenic. A shuttle bus is also accessible to the old town. Laura and Sergio are the most amazing hosts. They welcomed us so warmly into their family hotel and went above and beyond at various times throughout our stay. They were extremely helpful with regards organizing our trips (transport, timetables, ferries for the lake). We had really early starts on most days of our visit which meant we would have missed the scheduled start time of breakfast at 8am. However, Laura went out of her way to prepare breakfast early for us each of the days which was really kind. The buffet style breakfast was delicious. The cleanliness of the hotel was superb. I injured my leg on one of the days but I wasn’t able to get to a pharmacy as it was late and they were closed. Laura kindly gave me tablets that I could take to ease the pain before getting to a pharmacy the following morning. In general they made the atmosphere so personal yet relaxed and were consistent in meeting our needs and always greeted us with warm smiles. We will definitely be returning to Hotel Derby.

Everything was perfect

This is a small family business hotel, reminding of the 70's, but very well maintained. The room was very clean and comfortable, we had a balcony with lake view. Our hosts were always smiling and available, they provided with good advices. There is a small parking lot for 7 or 8 cars.

The buffet breakfast, although rich, didn't include vegetables. The hotel is near a main street, we could hear some traffic noise during the night, especially loud motorcycles.

The couple who managed the hotel were both very friendly and welcoming. They were helpful in offering us guidance, for example when taking buses, hiring bikes and pointing out places to visit. Breakfast was filling and very good. Our room was spotlessly clean and we had clean towels each day.

I cannot think of anything that we didn't like at the hotel.

The personal touch by the owners, Laura and Sergio, was second to none, they ensured you had everything you needed and made time to provide any information you required. They are genuine, warm and friendly people who also provide great accommodation and a really good breakfast.

Nothing

The owners were very nice and accommodating, felt right at home. Breakfast was just fine, after a couple days repeating, but still good. Room wes small, but nice, we had a balcony looking at the garden, road and lake. Very clean, towels and sheets changed every day, exceptional service. Would recommend to my friends.

Bed mattrases were a bit springy and not really comfy, otherwise everything was really good.

The staff were absolutely exceptional! Amazing people that made me feel at home immediately. They provided me with great recommendations and also made me breakfast early on the day of my checkout. The room was very comfortable with a beautiful view of lago di Garda. The Wi-Fi worked well and everything was very clean.

There was nothing that I did not like. The facility was exactly as advertised. The staff are amazing people.

A great hotel to stay at just metres from Lake Garda. With comfortable beds, the room was clean and the breakfast was excellent. Free parking was a bonus. The best thing about the hotel was that the owners live at the hotel and made our stay very homely. They made us feel welcome and did everything to make our stay memorable. They also provided great tourist options for us to do. We will be back at this hotel for sure on our next Italy trip

Nothing

The friendly owners who took time to talk to us and ask about our day and helped us plan a trip on the ferry across the lakes. Nothing was too much trouble. The hotel was spotless, and so to the rooms. Each day when we returned our rooms had been cleaned and the beds remade which I didn't expect but it was a nice touch. The fact that every room (I think, well ours did) has a little balcony to sit out and enjoy the lovely warm evenings. Fabulous restaurant across the street called Ciclone. Supermarket only 200m down the street. Short walk along the lake to neighbouring area with good restaurants and where you can get the shuttle bus to take you to Sirmione.

Nothing

Very quiet, staff is very nice, centro historico is about 5 km, but if you take a bike you are there in 15 minutes. Desenzano, Peschiera, Verona is quite close and easily accessible. Free parking in the hotel premises but if there is no park place it is also free in front of the hotel and opoosite the hotel. We could store our bikes in a separate storage. Breakfast is very good: proschiutto cotto, cheese, boiled egg, 5-6 types of sweet stuff( cake, brioche etc...) coffee pineapple/orange juice, yoghurt,jam, nutella. Lake view from the balcony.

Maybe salami or sausage as an additional meat for breakfast
