Hotel Benaco

Great breakfast spread- have tried something different each morning and all were very tasty. Try the honeycomb, it is incredible! Staff are friendly & helpful. We spent a lot of time at the pool and appreciated being able to order drinks & food (order inside) and have these delivered to where we were sitting. We found food/drink prices reasonable. Hotel has a gym with lots of weights and one static bike- it is small but has everything you need for a good workout. Heads up that smallest dumbbell is 10kg but there are 5kg/10kg plates if (like me!) you need lower weights for some exercises. A/C in our room isn’t amazing but the hotel had put a fan in there without us asking and this does the trick. Would recommend keeping the door to bathroom closed to keep the room cool. The only real downside is the walk back up from the lake to the hotel… it is a 10/15 minute climb… but at least the walk burns off some of the calories from the lovely food! 😂 We are travelling by train and location is perfect for this as isn’t too far to take suitcases. Would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights from 29th July. It is literally no more than 5 minutes walk from the train station and 10 minutes to the centre. 24 hour reception, staff very friendly and also you have the delights of the resident cat (not keen on fuss though haha) pool area quiet and although the water was cold, it was actually very nice in the heat, I cannot see why people would want it heated in 30 degrees. We stayed in room 201 and it was large, clean with a balcony. Cleaned every day and towels replaced. Yea and coffee making facilities in the room and a small fridge. Breakfast was very good with a large selection and plenty of seating. Be advised it is a policy of the hotel that no backpacks are taken into the breakfast area which I imagine is so that guests don’t do themselves a light lunch. Although why any one would in Italy I can’t imagine as all of the places we are at were amazing. If we came back to Lake Garda we would definitely stay here again as it was perfect. We were able to check in early as our room was ready which we were very grateful for.
