“Hotel Malcesine sits right on Lake Garda, a historic building with an enviable position next to the harbor. I think its charm lies in that direct access to both the water and the town's old center. For a family or couple, the hotel has a lot to offer, from quirky rooms to lakeside dining-and a very friendly staff.”

Lakefront Serenity

central location perfect room split level lake views

Location impressed me much. It was indeed central for exploration. The room was perfect and had a split level for my family. Balcony views showed mountains to one side and the lake to the other. I found very easy access for bikes. Breakfast accommodated many tastes. The staff were caring and kind. They let us take croissants to our room when my children were tire.

The hotel bar closed early and it surprised me.
