Sirmione is made even better with a stay at Grifone Hote!. Location is inside the castle walls,…read morehas a small beach, accessible to all Sirmione has to offer. You will be thoroughly satisfied with the bountiful included breakfast, the setting, the hostess Enza and her suggestions for dinner. We highly recommend Grifone!

A trip up north would not be complete without a stop at Lago di Garda, and a trip to Garda wouldn't…read morebe the same without staying at Hotel Grifone. There are so many great things about this hotel, notably the location, the breakfast, the price and of course Enza! Get a room with a balcony, the views are amazing. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms were spacious (which you don't always find in Italy) Also get breakfast with the room, for what you pay extra you get far more in return. The town is small so everything is easily accessible. The dock for the ferry, the bus station (which will get you to the train station as well) are all in walking distance. Enza is a great hostess and helpful in every way. My parents return to Grifone every year, and I can see myself carrying on that tradition.

The service is impeccable! Fantastic spa, a lake beach close by with warm lake water swimming,…read moreruins, and a castle in Sirmione to explore. I highly recommend htel Olivi. There are so many gluten free options on the menu my daughter and i ate here exclusively during our stay. The staff are trained to perfection. The spa is wonderful and we had massages and waxing, as well as spent most of a day in the thermal pool, delightful steam and sauna etc. We are celiac and cannot eat gluten. This is my new favorite summer vacation spot! We will return next year certainly.

Hotel / spa is located on the northern side of Sirmione, close to Grotte di Catullo and far away…read morefrom the city noise. Everything is pretty much as advertised and/or expected: lake view room actually has the lake view, beds are pretty good (on the firmer side), breakfast is also good, in the evening the on-premises restaurant serves robust if uninspiring dinner. I did not try the spa. Some logistics: 1) To reach the hotel, you will have to drive through a maze of very narrow and winding streets, this course is gated with the guard checking your name against the hotel guest list. While driving, few times you will wish that you car is smaller and shorter; a good navigator will come especially handy, as some streets are one-way or impassable for cars - but not clearly marked as such. Red/green traffic lights mark the (short) one-way passages, at night the lights blink yellow allowing to cautiously proceed. Getting out of the hotel in a car will take up to 15 minutes to the nearest major road, depending on the tourist crowds that share the streets with you, and will not be possible at all during the daytime on weekends. Couple this with the limited parking at the hotel and the choice of walking becomes very enticing. 2) At the breakfast time, be assertive with the waiters in order to get your coffee/tea in a reasonable amount of time.
