The Grand Hotel Gardone enjoys a beautiful lakeside location, close to the ferry terminal for easy access to nearby Salò and other destinations. Many guests appreciate the spacious rooms, often featuring balconies with fabulous lake views; while some note the furniture shows some wear, the views more than compensate.

balanced stay overall

direct lake access clear waters pool area high parking cost dated condition high rates
the location is fantastic directly on the shores. one highlight was the direct lake access. swimming straight from the hotel into the clear waters was nice. the pool area was equally inviting, with space to unwind and views across the lake.
the hotel feels dated, charging extra for parking. this feels excessive considering the room prices. the hotel needs some updates, especially considering the rates charged per night.

amazing lakeside experience

lakeside location diverse breakfast spacious room lovely view
This location on the lake was great. The breakfast included various options, such as pastries, eggs, and fresh fruit. I found the room to be spacious, with a nice balcony. The lake view from my room was quite lovely.
I noticed the furniture showed some wear, such as some scratches on the desk.

Breakfast included a buffet with hot and cold options. The on-site restaurant offers a menu of local cuisine. Dinner next to the lake was available, and i found it to be worth the extra cost.

soft air conditioning missing curtain
The breakfast selection was excellent. I found lots of options.
The room AC didn't work, and reception told me it was "soft air conditioning". I have never heard of it. The shower over the bath had no curtain. It was impossible to have a proper shower without flooding the whole bathroom AND probably the room below.

charmed by lakeside elegance

direct access immaculate grounds secure parking
I found the direct lake access amazing. swimming in the clear waters was a definite highlight, right from the hotel! the immaculate grounds with beautiful flowers really added to the sense of tranquility. i appreciated secure parking. It cost €20 per day though.
The egg choice was disappointing at breakfast. I wanted poached eggs, but there were only fried or omelette. scrambled eggs were available in the buffet, though it wasn't refilled promptly. even with plenty of staff, the oversight was noticeable.

i found breakfast excellent, though natural orange juice was missing. i enjoyed the experience of dining surrounded by ducklings, and the views of the lake were fine.
