Bellerive Lifestyle Hotel

Had a fantastic stay. Room was large with balcony and had a partial view of the lake. Great location, right on thelake and just outside the marina, short walk along the lake to the centre and ferry terminal. Staff was always pleasant and helpful. Will definitely stay again.

And just like that… the good old Bellerive was wiped out. And what's with the Lifestyle label? Do not get it. What happened? New owners, new employees. No manager? The attention to service and detail is in many ways gone. The smiling employees are gone. Half of the breakfast is gone( or you have to pay allot extra for it). The change of pool towels is gone. The receptionist are talking more together than to the guest. The restaurant staff are over worked it seems like.Everything looks beautiful but for a guest from before the renovation this was not wat we expected. The price went up, but the good old feeling is gone with the renovation and change of owners. But we found out a little secret. You will find some of the smiling employees at Hotel Laurin. No more Bellerive for us I am sorry to say.

We wish to express our gratitude and say a special “Thank you “ with a most favorable review to post anywhere I am able to share our opinion of every aspect of your wonderful property. We visited the property when it was first constructed, and the current renovation is breathtaking! No expense was spared. From the moment you enter, The Bellerive is impressive to all the senses. Very elegant, tasteful contemporary design, subtle but pleasing colors, Excellent Wi-Fi and AC. The attention to details for comfort and design are evident throughout the spacious, luxurious guest rooms and bathrooms. Perfect breakfast, couldn’t ask for more. Best morning doppio cappuccino ever! Cheerfully served, along with freshly-squeezed orange juice, referred to as “Sprematura.” Inviting pristine pool, wonderful lounges and pool beds, surrounded by tranquil gardens. Nothing is spared- The hotel even provides a full-time lifeguard! Most Attentive Staff! The old- world quality of dedicated service overflows here. I think in Italy special training is mandatory, (and everyone speaks flawless English) but each of the staff naturally exude warmth and caring. All areas of personnel are exceptionally courteous, smiling and quick to respond to any requests. At the Bellerive, they go one step further than above and beyond. Nestled in a serene stretch in Salò’ overlooking the lake, most rooms have a terrace with direct view of the sailboats moored. Adjacent is a delightful park for children to explore and de-energize. Little stroll to best gelato at La Romana Gelateria. Excellent cuisine is served in the hotel as well as cocktails on the patio overlooking the passagiata. The free secure car parking area on the gated hotel grounds was most appreciated and convenient. Compliments to everyone, including Ottavia, Lucrezia, Giuseppe, Andrea, and the especially to the gracious and brilliant General Manager, Alessandra, Brava! With our respect, appreciation and warmest regards, Gloria and Gianni Roggio

It was our second visit to the hotel since the refurbishment and change of management in winter 22/23 and we were keen to see if they had improved on their initial shortcomings. Unfortunately, they hadn't. While the rooms have of course improved (except for the beds, which are far too small and the mattresses far too hard), the service is still lacking. However, this is not due to the staff - who are always helpful and friendly - there is simply a lack of a good hotel manager who knows what customers want. A "host" who walks through the hotel with an attentive eye, recognizes weaknesses and optimizes details. That is the decisive difference between a good and a very good hotel. It's not the facilities, it's the service that turns a 4-star hotel into a 5-star hotel. A FEW EXAMPLES: Every vacationer wants to have breakfast on the terrace in summer. But this is not possible because only 5 of the 15 tables are in the shade and it is of course too hot in the sun. There are simply far too few parasols and the few that are there are placed without any sense or reason. We were able to observe this absurdity for 10 days. APROPOS BREAKFAST: Nothing has been done about this weak point either. Unfortunately, the buffet has the charm and offerings of a chain hotel. It is truly not worthy of a 5-star hotel. ABSURD: Two pool towels are provided for a couple. If you want two more, you have to pay € 10. Seriously? 5-star hotel? CONCLUSION: With the right hotelier, the hotel could perhaps develop into a real 5-star hotel. At the moment it only deserves 4 stars at best and is therefore rather disappointing. That's a shame, because we'd actually like to come back because we've really liked the Bellerive for 15 years. But they make it really difficult. Maybe it's time to look at the alternatives after all.

On a recent trip to Italy we stayed at Bellerive for 2 nights. The service at reception was excellent and we instantly felt relaxed there. The room was beautiful and comfortable, with a fantastic view of the lake. Breakfast was very good. Another great thing about this hotel is the location. It's right on the lake front but tucked away at a quiet end of the promenade. It's peaceful but just a short walk away from all the bars and restaurants, of which Salò offers a great range. All in all a lovely hotel in a lovely spot. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Salò.

Great hotel with terrific service. Very quiet part of Lake Garda . We really enjoyed our two night stay here. Good breakfast ( included). Dinner was also good. Loved the location on the lake, plus they had a nice swimming pool with bar service. I can’t wait to stay here again.

Such a beautiful hotel, sparkling white, infinity pool, gorgeous lake views and an easy walk to the town center. We splurged for the best rooms here and we felt pampered. There is a fine restaurant on the first floor. Hotel service was very professional and helpful. Easy to find and with a private parking lot by the reception area. Salo offers lots of restaurant and shopping possibilities, and it is a main stop for the lake ferry services.

Sehr enttäuschend!!! Wir haben im Juni 2024 zehn Tage in diesem schön gelegenen Hotel in Salò verbracht und waren, vom Hotelzimmer abgesehen, auf ganzer Linie enttäuscht . Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Front-Seeblick und Terrasse, welches sehr geräumig und auch wirklich schön war. Das war es aber auch schon . Restaurant, Lobby sind nüchtern, kühl, steril eingerichtet, kahle Wände in den Fluren und im Treppenhaus, kaum Blumen, überhaupt nicht gemütlich. Wir hatten von daher keine Lust, in diesem Ambiente abends zu essen. Zum Glück gibt es einige gute Restaurants in direkter Umgebung. Das Frühstück war bestenfalls Standard und hatte überhaupt nichts mit einem Frühstück in einem 5 Sterne Hotel zu tun. Die Auswahl war wirklich sehr überschaubar und nicht sehr ansprechend angerichtet, ähnlich einem Buffet in der Kantine. Da wir Frühstück lieben, war das für uns sehr enttäuschend. Beim Obst gab es auch wenig Auswahl, nach Bananen hatten wir mehrmals gefragt, leider Fehlanzeige. Diese hatten wir dann letztendlich selbst gekauft in einem kleinen Laden um die Ecke. Allerdings lagen auf allen Tischen kleine Karten mit Zusatzspeisen, die man bestellen konnte (nicht inkludiert!!!), unter anderem French Toast mit Banane für 8,-€. Was soll man dazu sagen? Einfach nur unverschämt! Dass man Eierspeisen (Spiegelei, Omlette) am Tisch bestellen konnte, wurde uns nicht gesagt, das hatten wir am dritten Tag per Zufall mitbekommen. Ansonsten gab es trockenes Rührei im Rechaud. Der Service beim Frühstück war sehr träge und unprofessionell. Alles in allem sehr enttäuschend…

Die Kissen sind unglaublich fluffig, wer erfindet son Quatsch? Einmalige Lage top Service super Parkplatz, gutes Essen 200 Zeichenkkjdfn syhunsrncsnlugnxzor zura ovuba ervdfksgvsiusnrchunarlcueaucncncncncncncncncncncncncnlir
