Hotel Gardenia al Lago

Our 2nd great stay.

Not long enough holiday.

This is a beautiful and historic property, right on the lake. Rooms are charming, the views are lovely, and it's a short stroll to the downtown central square and the ferry. Breakfasts are delightful, sitting by the lake (in summer), and dinners are delicious. The area is a great place to catch the ferry to explore other cities around the lake. We took the ferry across to Machine, Limone and Riva...just great! But I'd avoid Limone in summer. It's a small place, and way too crowded with tourists for comfort.

This hope is just a perfect place to stay. There were no negatives at all, for us. The staff were great about giving us tips for a ferry day trip, and they have a very nice sister hotel, Hotel du Lac, just up the street, in case you want an alternative dining option that is easy.

perfect stay! Very nice hotel run by a family with lot of charms.

This hotel is amazing, the staff are a credit to then place, the location is perfect (not to far to walk to shops, restaurants and bars). I would highly recommend the lemon farm tour, free to guests on a Friday morning and also the hotel restaurant, the food was some of the best we had. We will definitely be returning!

Such a gentile hotel in the most exquisite setting. I loved lying in my bed listening to the sound of the lapping water below, descending the steps into the warm lake, eating breakfast on the terrace, walking through the town people watching - it was all delightful and so were the wonderful staff at the hotel.

I loved it all
