When you pair the elegance of the 19th-century with the modern comforts of today, you get the Grand Hotel Gardone. Built in 1884, this 4-star historic hotel on Lake Garda offers a taste of vintage glamour for the 21st century.

Grand Hotel Gardone is an epic, iconic sight. The hotel’s glorious yellow facade is an emblem of the region. Set in a prime position on the western shore of the lake, the hotel’s art nouveau architecture is just lovely - and offers a full, jaw-dropping first impression of what to expect from your stay here. The unique mix of great location, sophistication and style is undoubtedly why it was one of the most popular stops for the belle epoque bourgeoisie. Everyone from Sir Winston Churchill to Vladimir Nabokov stayed here during its heyday.

The hotel’s sweeping lake views will steal your heart. Whether you are dining on the beautiful terrace, enjoying the heated outside pool or just soaking up the sun, Grand Hotel Gardone’s stunning, uninterrupted lake views are truly amazing. Enjoy them from one of the two fabulous restaurants, the pool snack bar or the piano bar for the full, morning to night experience. Be sure to ask for a room with a view - believe us, it’s worth it!

The hotel has 167 rooms (official rating 4 star) Child prices apply to ages 2-11 years. Half board consists of a buffet breakfast and dinner. Minimum stay 3 nights.

About the location

Lake Garda - or Lago di Garda as it is known to locals - is one of Italy’s most famous travel destinations. At over 370 sq km, it is Italy’s biggest lake, a fact which can be seen in its diverse landscape. From olive groves and lemon trees in the south to snow-covered alpine peaks in the north, it is easy to see why Lake Garda has been topping travel wish lists for years.

Gardone Riviera is found on the western shore of the lake. The peaceful town is everything you would expect from iconic Italy. Take a stroll - the famous passeggiata - in the elegant streets or waterfront promenade and simply imbibe in the laid back sophistication that Gardone is famous for. Find a cafe, enjoy a glass of delicious local wine and watch the world go by.

The town warrants discovery. Head up to Gardone Sopra, a 15-minute walk away, for a chance to visit the historic centre. Not to be missed is Il Vittoriale, the Art Deco estate of the poet and eccentric Gabriele D'Annunzio. Il Vittoriale is exceptionally popular with visitors to Lake Garda, so arrive early to avoid queues.

If you want to visit the surrounding area, the choices are endless: take a bus to the small visit of San Michele just behind the town, and enjoy the breathtaking views on the walk down. Or jump on a ferry and visit the eastern shore of the lake, where you’ll be able to see the Grand Hotel Gardone in its full glory.

The hotel is 1 hour 15 minutes from Verona airport. Return private transfers included. To change your transfers or book car hire instead, simply call us once you’ve completed your booking.
