“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.”
