Giardino Lago is a gem of a hotel - an all-around gem. The location, right on the lake, is peaceful; a truly beautiful setting. The rooms were comfortable and welcoming (with AC). I loved riding the hotel's provided bikes into town - only 9 minutes away. It was perfect! I cam away happy with all my needs met when I stayed there.

The best place in the area! They have free bikes and are located right on the lake. The restaurant is amazing too. We really like it (it was our second time there). One note: pillows are a bit too thin, so if you like sturdy and thicker ones, bring your own. They also have a free parking lot, which is very convenient.

Hotel was in a prime location on the water. They had bikes for us to take and ride into town. Paddle boards are also available. Room was very clean and perfect for two. The breakfast was excellent as well. All of the staff was very welcoming and helpful. Wish we had a chance to stay longer, would definitely come back.

Location, location, location! The hotel is perfectly situated on the lake with spectacular views. They provide free, very nice, bikes to ride around. You’re just 10 minutes from Lacarna and a small vibrant town. Dining was lovely and quite tasty. Service is a 10! Rooms are nice, only thing I would add is a coffee/tea maker in the room (early rising American 😊)

Had a great time here, only stayed for a night but definitely wanted to stay longer. Paddle boards and bikes were available to guests for free. Breakfast was included with our stay, an amazing view and excellent food and service.

The view, room, complimentary breakfast, and staff are all amazing. It comes with complimentary bikes to take and there's a hike path right there along the water which is awesome! It comes with parking which is also nice.

As a Marriott Bonvoy Titanium member, I've done my share of travel for work. The reward is using points to visit lovely localities such as this. Giardino Lago has only 16 rooms, and the exceptionally attentive staff make every guest feel special. The rooms are cozy, but stylish and have all the best amenities. The cafe and restaurant are also both very good, though we found the breakfast (while fresh
And delicious) a bit pricy. Other extras like bikes and standing paddle boards, are
A terrific bonus. Loved it here!
