This is a lovely traditional Italian hotel. The staff is great, incredibly helpful and nice. The pool and landscaping are beautiful. Excellent breakfast! Only minor complaint: The showers could be improved - we had 2 different rooms and neither had a shower that functioned really well. We plan to return to Villa Sofia.

Hotel located in a historic villa in a stunning location overlooking the lake and convenient parking. Beautiful swimming pool and common areas. However, the rooms are a little too dated, the furnishings old and not too comfortable (see TV position). For the hotel's name and standard, it lacks a proper bar and a really good room. Excellent breakfast and in general great kindness from all the staff

Nice little hotel. Our room was very warm and we could not turn on the air conditioning - it had just been turned off for the change of the season. So we sweated in the room. The offer a breakfast that is very good with lots of options. The gentleman servicing us was very nice! We tried to order a drink off the bar menu but the woman running the bar would not do it. Confusing since it's on the menu! There is a very nice pool and on the roof a hot tub. The only thing we didn't like was the rug in the elevator smelled like mauldy socks.

Vi var der for 6 år siden og det ser ikke ud til der har været lavet nogen form for vedligehold siden. Sengene var ganske elendige. Morgenmaden var heller ikke så god mere. Til gengæld så var personalet stadig helt i top.

Ett mycket trevligt hotell med härlig pool och bra frukost. Hotellet ligger på en bit uppe på en höjd med närhet till flera restauranger. Inte långt till havet heller. Bra service ifrån trevlig personal. Vi kan verkligen rekomendera detta hotell.

Ich gebe gerne volle 5 Sterne. Das Hotel liegt wunderschön, abseits des Massentourismus für wirkliche Liebhaber des Gardasees. Sehr gepflegtes Ambiente mit überschaubarer Zimmerzahl, großen Zimmern und perfekter Sauberkeit. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Freundlichkeit des Personals. Sehr selten heutzutage. Hier fühlt man sich umsorgt und bestens betreut. Herzlichen Dank für den erholsamen Aufenthalt - wir kommen gerne wieder

Dejligt hotel med god beliggenhed - 5 min. gang til søen og 5 min. gang til den gamle flotte bydel. Gode store værelser, hvor intet manglede. Dog lidt slidt og lydt. Rigtig dejlig morgenmad og sød personale. Alt i alt god værdi for pengene.
