Hotel Villa Sofia - Gardone Riviera

A beautiful hotel in a park setting. Very comfortable rooms. It is tricky to find, however. The only sign we saw from the shorefront street leads to the back of the hotel (but it is accessible from there and the staff can give you directions to the main parking area in fromt of the hotel). Wonderful view and our room had a very nice useable balcony. […] The staff was extremely helpful and made phone calls to make a museum reservation. Highly recommended. Read more

Stayed only one night, wished for more. Great location, easy walking into the old town or down to the water. Great restaurants nearby. Great breakfast.

It was lovely - just lovely! Room was upgraded when we arrived - we faced the pool and lake - definitely worth it. The hotel upgraded it on their own free of charge. Staff very thoughtful and considerate and attentive. Breakfast fabulous. Location could not be beat for staying on Lake Garda - took the ferry everywhere and definitely want to return.

Off the beaten path; quite, relaxing and very enjoyable location. We loved it.

The hotel was beautifully situated, equal distance from lower and higher Gardone Riviera. The staff were helpful and friendly. The breakfast was all that you could wish for. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel without reservation.

My hushband and I stayed in Villa Sophia for 1 week and had a marvellous time. We had a beautiful room overlooking the pool and lake. All the staff were pleasant, helpful and attentive. Nearby restaurants in Sopra and Fassamo all good. More good restaurants in Salo which is a 30- 40 minute walk.

Our stay at Villa Sofia was marvellous from beginning to end. Before we arrived, the staff helped with arranging transfers from the airport. They were speedy and courteous in our email correspondence and very quick to answer all questions. When we arrived after a delayed flight, we were welcomed by Julia who was helpful and charming. Our room, although […] "Standard", was comfortable and pleasant with a nice view of the mountains and the lake. The buffet style breakfast was served in a comfortable breakfast room and the selection was always tasty and plentiful. The freshly brewed coffee and bircher muesli being especially good. The pool was really nice, although a little cold for swimming in mid September. There was never a problem with finding a sun-bed, regardless of the time of day, although, again, I suspect this was because it was low season and the hotel may not have been full. All in all, we had a lovely week at the Villa Sofia and would be happy to return in the future. Read more

A very pleasant stay at this hotel, in a beautiful setting. Would benefit couples more than anyone else. The only downside is that they do not do evening meals, just 35 bedrooms, so maybe no call for this. Overall a very nice hotel that I would fully recommend to most people.

Clean quiet hotel with very friendly and efficient staff, an excellent breakfast spread, a clean pool and a relaxed attitude to such things as use of the hotel's pool towels.

Genuine Expedia guest review

A very pleasant and charming small hotel with great view of the lake. The staff were friendly and welcoming and made our stay so wonderful. The room had a small balcony with a lake view and was large and airy. The pool area is nice but small and the swimming pool isn't suitable for young children as the shallow end is still 1.2 metres. The hotel is […] located just a short walk (less than 10 mins) to the lake front which has a few restaurants and cafes and an even shorter walk (less than 5 mins) to the centre of Gardone Riviera.

Very good hotel with excellent service and very nice room, we had one overlooking the lake with a balcony. The buffet breakfast was extremely good with a very good choice. The hotel is is a nice location away from the main promenade and so is quite quiet, it is a steep walk back from the town but not too far away. The only negative is that there was […] not enough information available for the British tourist. Read more

Can't fault this hotel. Good location between lake restaurants (10 mins down hill# and Vittoriale restaurants #10 mins up hill). Could do with hotel staff being a bit more forthcoming with local information. If you ask them, they are very helpful, but we missed fireworks on the lake and a few other local events that would have been nice to be proactively […] informed about. There are local leaflets and local weather forecasts in reception, but could do with a bit more info. Read more

This hotel is beautiful but if you get a standard room at the back the noise of traffic disturbs you also it's not really a hotel for children as has nothing but a pool and no atmosphere and after a certain time the night watchmen is very quick to be rude if your having fun

Excellent service. Having had a wrong description of room on expedia website (now changed) I emailed hotel direct for upgrade and right room. ... very helpful staff when sorting it out.

Had a pleasant stay here. staff was friendly, surroundings and room comfortable and clean. Pool was lovely, although it was a bit rainy when we were there, so we didn't get to go in. It's an easy walk to the village or lake side, which ever you choose.

Genuine Expedia guest review

HOTEL STAFF WERE VERY HELPFUL AT ALL TIMES AND THE STAFF PAID ATTENTION TO DETAIL.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Our holiday was brilliant, and the hotel was really lovely. Clients need to understand that the hotel is up a hill, and as long as you know that, it is a great place to stay. The only other problem is that if the hotel is full the parking is a problem, particularly with the rather aggressive Germans!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

4 nights at the excellent hotel , the room was very comfortable, the staff does all his abilities to help. Relaxed atmosphere and excellent location. There is no doubt going back to the hotel is to stay a week or more.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

A nice quiet hotel in pleasant urban/woodland surroundings. Very convenient to Botanic Gardens and Vialle Museum & Gardens. The uphill walk from village might not suit people who are not mobile. Bar area was more a token facility than an area that one could meet and associate with fellow travellers so we tended to go to bars in the village Breakfast […] was plentiful with good choices. Staff were always courteous and helpful. Overall a lovely place which I'd be happy to recommend. If I had a gripe, it was that local tourist attractions were poorly documented. There was no leaflets or documentation for the superb Botanical Garden just across the road or the renounded Il Vitorialle Palace a few minutes walk up the road. Read more

Bis auf Kleinigkeiten war es ein sehr schönes ruhiges Hotel/Villa. Die Ausstattung war sehr gut und herrlich mediterran. Auch die Anlage um das Hotel herum war sehr gepflegt. Negativ waren die hellhörigen Zimmer.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Schönes Hotel in ruhiger Lage mit Blick von den oberen Etagen auf den Gardasee. Zu Fuß ca. 5-7 min zum See. Service/ Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter ok, haben aber auch schon deutlich besseres erlebt. Zimmer sehr sauber, aber nicht gerade hochindividuell eingerichtet. Sehr schöner Pool. Frühstück für italienische Verhältnisse gut.

Vi sov over kun en natt så fikk ikke sett noe særlig til omgivelse bortsett fra at det det lå oppe i en lang bakke et stykke fra selve sjøen. Pen hage med svømmebasseng, koselig frokost og veldig klassisk Italiensk stil over det hele.

Et pent og rolig hotel. Dette kan vi godt komme tilbake til. God service hyggelig personale, tilfredsstillende renhold, og ei herlig basseng for avkjøling og morgenmosjon.

Séjour très agréable. Hôtel très bien situé dans un endroit calme mais pas trop loin du bord du lac. Accueil chaleureux et petit déjeuner copieux. Un parking gratuit et ombragé appréciable. Des agréables petit restaurants dans les alentours. De notre chambre, une vue superbe sur le lac de Garde.

Ok, nice hotel, pool and breakfast. Make sure to get a room in the front (some rooms are on the side/back) if you get a room beside new lovers you will hear all!!! The old city uphill is nice. From the Riviera you can get the small ferries to all the other cities.

siamo stati in questo hotel per un fine settimana e ci siamo trovati molto bene , si trova in una zona tranquilla a due passi dal centro del paese, pulito, confortevole, colazione ottima e abbondante servita in giardino, le camere pulite , spaziose e arredate con gusto, in linea con lo stile dello stabile

Das Hotel ist zuvorkommend auf unsere Extras ohne Probleme eingegangen (z. B. gekochtes Eis zum Frühstück), sie haben jeden Wunsch erfüllt. Sie waren immer zuvorkommend und halfen wo Sie konnten. Als wir früh morgens (4.00 Uhr) abgefahren sind, gab es (auf Anfrage) für uns Lunchpakete für den nach Hause weg. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist sehr gut ausgestattet […] und wer hungrig aufsteht ist selber schuld. Einziger Nachteil: der Pool ist klein und wenn das Hotel voll ist, gibt es nicht genügend Sonnenliegen und Sonnenschirme. Read more

Vom Hotel aus hat man einen tollen Blick auf den See. Ruhige Lage etwas oberhalb, zum See und Zentrum sind es nur wenige Laufminuten Die Zimmer mit Balkon zur Seeseite sind sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, geräumig und sauber. Parkettboden, neues Bett, Minibar, Safe, Bad mit Fenster. Lediglich der Fernseher ist etwas klein. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist […] sehr reichhaltig: frischer Obstsalat, hochwertige Marmelade, tolles Gebäck. Cappuccino inklusive. Schöner Pool. Abgesperrter Parkplatz inklusive. Der Wellnessbereich im Hotel Savoy Palace (5 Min zu Fuß) kann kostenfrei genutzt werden. In Laufnähe befinden sich mehrere hervorragende Restaurants, die nicht touristisch überlaufen sind. Das Hotel ist absolut empfehlenswert für Paare, die romantische und entspannte Tage am Gardasee verbringen wollen und kein Interesse an großem Trubel haben. Read more

Sehr gutes, grundsolides Hotel mit wunderschöner Aussicht auf den See!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Sehr komfortables "Bed and Breakfast " Hotel der gehobenen Art in einem gepflegtem Park und ansprechender Umgebung. Neben dem für italienische Verhälnisse gutem Frühstücksbuffet offeriert man auch leichte Mittagsgerichte und Snacks (bis 14Uhr und eventuell saisonbedingt) sowie einige Cocktails (bis 19Uhr) Die Lage machts! Kurze Wege (10-15 min) zum […] See, Bootsaanleger und Restaurants in der Altstadt erlauben einen entspannten Aufenthalt. Auch wenn es vereinelt italienisch-eng zugeht, aber wir bekamen zu jeder Zeit einen Parkplatz auf dem Gelände. Sie möchten sicherlich wissen was ihnen die Urlaubsfreuden TRÜBEN könnte: Der Platz rund um den schönen Pool ist arg beengt, aber selbst im August und bei ausgebuchtem Hotel, gab es für uns drei immer einen Platz. Nur scheinbar wenige Gäste verbrachten ganze Tage lang am Pool. Der Pool ist von moderater Grösse und daher kein besonders geeigneter Platz zum toben. Persönlich würde das Hotel daher auch nicht für Familien mit kleineren Kinders empfehlen. Für lange Cocktailabende ist das Hotel nicht aufgestellt (ist ja auch ein Bed and Breakfast) aber einfache Getränke werden von den Damen and der Rezeption freundlich serviert. Für mitgebrachte Fahrräder gibt es keine ausgewiesenen Unterstellplätze, es findet sich jedoch immer ein Zaun oder eine Laterne in der Anlage wo man das Gefährt sichern konnte. Read more

Ok room with a hidden A/C panel. Small, but comfortable. Big, clean bathroom but a bit strange water pressure, which you noticed when trying to take a shower. Great breakfast served out in the hotel garden. Nice pool area. A bit too far from the lake but close to nice restaurants and the botanical garden. A few misses in the service when we arrived […] and our passports were left unattended out in the open at the front desk which is not ok. Next time, we will book a hotel with private beach to get easier access to the lake. Read more

Mycket god service, underbar frukost. Trevlig Personal, pratar bra engelska. Inte så mycket att göra i själva Gardone och inte så många restauranger nere vid strandpromenaden, man går snabbt igenom dem. Har man bil, så är det inte långt till en annan stad för lite variation, men helt klart, Gardone är ett mycket vackert ställe vid Gardasjön.

Wunderschönes Hotel, sehr sauber, tolle Lage, angenehmer Pool, am schönsten war das Frühstück mit den Spatzen vor den Hortensien. Schade, dass der Service zu wünschen übrig lies, eine bessere Bedienung am Pool könnte man für ein 4 Sterne Hotel schon erwarten.
