Hotel Villa Florida & Suite Apartments

This hotel is beautifully situated in its own grounds with spectacular views over Lake Garda looking on to isola del Garda. We were welcomed warmly by the Alessandra and accompanied to our poolside room. This had its own generous private patio area and the bedroom was spacious, fully air conditioned and spotlessly clean. The hotel also has secure, free parking in a range of attractive sheltered bays. The hotel is situated on a terraced site with the Belvedere breakfast a terrace boasting panoramic views over the lake. Our room was by the pool which is large with plenty of sun loungers and parasols as well as a poolside bar area. The king sized bed was extremely comfortable and the bed covers were just the right weight, along with the air conditioning, for a good nights sleep. The room was spotlessly clean and room service was thorough freshening up our room while we had breakfast. We were very impressed with the hotel. Breakfasts were served on the beautiful terrace with fresh flowers from the garden and beautifully set tables every morning. The range and variety of food offerings was extensive with every taste being catered for, from savoury to sweet and everything in between. The staff are friendly but not intrusive. On my birthday they brought me a lovely cake/ dessert with a candle and a little bag of sweets. We took a few trips during our four night stay at Hotel Florida however we were always happy and relieved to be back at the hotel as the heat was quite intense while we were there ( temperature was in the low 30s) and we appreciated the cool comfort of our lovely room and the extensive pool which never felt too crowded. The hotel has a pleasing Belle Epoque theme and there is an interesting mural depicting a WW2 bunker, legacy of the last war. The whole area has an interesting history and while Hotel Villa Florida does not date back to the 1920s to 1940s, it pays tribute to this most interesting of historical periods. It is a short walk ( 3/4 mile) into Gardone Riviera where you can catch a ferry to Malcesine or Desenzano or Sermione. Equally there is the renowned André Heller Gardens to visit. There are numerous restaurants, both on the Lungolago (promenade) or in Gardone Sopra ( the upper village) picturesque cobbled streets. A very relaxing stay. We definitely plan to return.

Amazing hotel. Beautiful grounds on the lake. Great place to stay when visiting the town and surrounding cities. The staff were very accommodating and the room (we had suite 508) was spacious with amazing views. You can walk to center of town (about 20 minutes, but it’s a beautiful walk). But the grounds and the pool were gorgeous, drinks and food were reasonably priced. Would definitely return.

Lovely, relaxing stay at Villa Hotel Florida. Our room was quiet and comfortable. Breakfast is generous and varied, and the view from the front terrace is beautiful. The management and staff at Villa Hotel Florida are exceptional! During our stay we had many questions about nearby restaurants, walkable paths in the area, bus routes to other towns, etc, and everyone was genuinely friendly and helpful. They also graciously ordered us an early Sunday morning taxi for our departure. Highly recommended. (Additional note, Rowing Bistrot across the road is excellent!)

Amazing hotel! Beautiful views, rooms are excellent! Service is wonderful and breakfast is the best we had in Italy! Staff is wonderful! Not one negative thing to say! Would definitely recommend and stay here again! Perfect vacation and location to stay if you want to visit Lake Garda!

My wife and I stayed in Hotel Villa Florida for a week in August 2024. The property is conveniently situated and easy to find. The hotel, grounds and views are amazing. The welcome we received was first class and the staff could not have been anymore friendly. They were so helpful throughout our stay. The room/suite we stayed in was immaculate, spacious and had very effective air conditioning if required. The balcony views of Lake Garda were simply beautiful. The breakfast is served on a patio area either outside or in a covered area. Breakfast was buffet style and there was a wide choice of cooked food, breads, fresh fruit etc. (continental style)-the choice is yours. For those who want it, you can pre-order from a limited lunch menu. The hotel caters for those requiring a gluten free diet. As the majority of guests are away throughout the day, the hotel doesn’t have a restaurant facility during the day. Restaurants, cafes and coffee shops are widely available in each of the towns around the lake. Free, secure parking is available and it’s only a short walk to the hotel reception. Overall, we could not fault this hotel. It is a first class place to stay and we will book it again when we visit the area. For a short break or longer holiday, you will not be disappointed.

We visited in August as part of our first visit to Lake Garda. We had been recommended Villa Florida by friends and we were not disappointed. Our room was very spacious with its own kitchenette, sitting area and balcony with views of the lake. Beautifully decorated and good air conditioning- a must in the summer heat. The delicious Breakfast served on the courtyard was beautiful, giving guests stunning views of the Lake. The hotel went above and beyond in their gluten free options for breakfast, the best by far of any hotel we have stayed in throughout our travels in Europe or the USA. The hotel staff made you feel are being welcomed into their home, such pride is taken in their roles to ensure you have the best experience not only in their hotel but throughout your stay. It is located perfectly on the Lake to ensure you are no more than a short drive or boat trip away from the main tourist spots around Lake Garda. I would highly recommend Villa Florida when staying in Lake Garda.

I very rarely write reviews, but I'll make an exception here. Potential guests of this hotel – if you're looking for any place around Lake Garda, stop :) – you've just found the best one. I have stayed in countless 5-star hotels, but this one surpasses them all. The hotel itself, the rooms, and the surroundings are fantastic, impeccably clean, and refined down to the smallest details, the breakfasts are delicious, but what is very hard to find elsewhere is the people who make this hotel. Smiling, friendly, they treat you as if you were guests in their private home. It was hard to leave... I hope to return there someday.

We stayed for 2 nights. Such a wonderful and accommodating staff from start to finish! Breakfast is delicious, the views are amazing and the rooms, grounds and hotel are very clean. While visiting Italy this was 1 of 5 hotels we stayed in. This was by far our favorite! Our only regret is not being able to stay more than 2 nights!

Gorgeous hotel just a short walk from the restaurants and shops in gardone. Lovely pool. Incredible breakfast with superb savoury and sweet dishes that change daily. Terrace that breakfast is served on is wonderful. Comfortable rooms and pretty views. Gardens in the hotel nicely kept and staff really friendly. Bus stop right outside the hotel and ferry terminal only a 20 min walk away along a fairly easy path with trees and lake views. Would highly recommend and would return.
