Can anyone recommend a lovely hotel in Verona / Lake Garda area?

Question

I am looking to book a holiday there with my hubby in September but each time I think I find a lovely hotel, I go on Tripadvisor to check it out and I haven't yet found a hotel with a great reputation. I would like it to be close to the lakes and the centre, and with lovely bedrooms etc. It seems difficult to be able to find a hotel without someone writing a really bad comment, but then I don't suppose you should go by everything you read, some people are hard to please and everyone has different opinions. If anyone could help I'd be really grateful. Thanks.

Answer 2

If there are enough people reviewing the hotel, you'll always be able to find someone with a negative comment. I generally look for the overall tone of the comments and the percentage of negative comments.

I live about an hour south of Verona, so I don't stay in the hotels around the lake often. I do sometimes stay in Verona when I have an early flight. One hotel I particularly liked there was the Hotel Verona. It's a 10 to 15 minute walk from the train/bus station which provides easy access to transportation to Lago Garda and only a block and a half from Piazza Bra where the Arena is in the old town of Verona.

When I have stayed at the lake, it's been in Sirmione or Malcesine (north end of the lake) both have bus transport to Verona. You might be also be interested in Desenzano or Peschiera del Garda which are both on the train line between Milan and Venice. Verona to Desenzano is only 20 to 30 minutes depending on the on the train. Verona is one stop from Peschiera and two from Desenzano. You might want to consider the Nazionale Hotel in Desenzano - it's got excellent reviews. http://en.venere.com/hotels_desenzano_de... I like the Marconi in the old town of Sirmione. http://en.venere.com/hotels_sirmione/alt...

There are lots of other choices on the Venere website.
