Oh where to start...from the time we departed the train we had trouble with our link to Garda and Hotel Excelsior le Terrrazze was the knight in shining armour with the rescue. They arranged for our transport to the hotel. We did pay for the transfer but we didn't need to arrange it with the language barrier. Upon arrival, we were greeted with the common area aperitivo time. Finger sandwiches, sweets complimentary and drinks were on a pay basis. Breakfast complimentary each am and full prepared breakfast was at your disposal or make your own breakfast bar. We were within a 5 minute walk to the lakeside town of Garda and there truly is no need for a car. You have busses, and a ferry at your disposal. Take advantage of the ferry to other lakeside towns and explore. We also took advantage of the hotel's bikes and for 10 Euro a day, you cannot go wrong. read more
