Villa Fiordaliso

This is a review of the restaurant, we did not stay at the hotel. I cannot say enough great things about this meal and experience. Amazing. Service was stellar, ambiance was gorgeous and the food was memorable and delicious. We selected 6 dishes to share and they did a beautiful job portioning it out per person to treat it as a tasting meal, which was so fun for us. The presentations were gorgeous without taking away from the meal. a week later and I am still thinking about the "coffee and chocolate" dessert and the smoked pasta The service was kind and warm and made the experience so fun for us Thank you all for an amazing experience!!

We have just returned from a magical honeymoon at the Villa Fiordaliso, surely one of the most beautiful hotels on Lake Garda's exquisite shores. Steeped in history, the villa is an architectural delight, inside and out. The views are gorgeous and the restaurant world-class, but what makes the experience so wonderful is the staff, who make you feel special from the moment you arrive. The whole team are fabulous but we would like to give a special mention to Alessandra, Andrea and Eliana for their kindness, warmth and generosity. They are the soul of this amazing hotel. One day we hope to savour the intimate atmosphere of this unique place again, in the elegant Camelia suite with its stunning balcony overlooking Isola del Garda. Thank you for the indelible memories.|Jon & Pauline Whitaker

This relais & châteaux property offers stunning views of Lake Garda - the Latin inscription in the mosaic floor of the lake front balcony « you think heaven has fallen here » evokes the lake view very well. Villa Fiordaliso is a beautiful historic hotel. Its waterfront seems ideal for a social event. The historic rooms are elegant, and well appointed. The hotel was extremely quiet. The Camélia room has a beautiful covered balcony from where to enjoy the lake. We did not dine in the restaurant, but enjoyed breakfast by the lake (under the canopy tent). We found one particular thing lacking at this hotel: a little hospitality. Tepid welcome. We were basically shown to our room. The room is a walk up to the third floor - we did not mind that at all, but should be noted for guests who may have reduced mobility.

The Villa is beautiful in a small town. The staff and owners are politely professional and immaculately dressed. Everyone is warm and welcoming. Lunch and dinner are amazingly incredible. Sounds over the top because it’s that good. Lucked into an event with a great Italian band at dinner. Did not want to leave.

Sheila & I stayed here the first two nights of our fall trip to Italy. It was magical. The grounds are beautiful and the hotel itself is delightfully charming. The staff was extremely helpful. We ate dinner there the first night and it was excellent. The breakfast was included and was gourmet. The hotel sits right on the lake so the scenery is spectacular.

Very charming place to eat with a great view of the lake plus the gardens and tower next door (be sure to check out the bar / disco on the main floor of the tower). The food was mixed. Some dishes were great and very unique, others weren’t our taste but seem to be a hit for others. Service was very good.

When I stay at a Relais & Chateaux property, there is a certain expectation I have of the hotel – a unique property in a lovely location, with amenities and décor equal to the high price tag one pays to stay a night at these properties. The Villa Fiordaliso had all these, although the modern design and furniture in our large room was slightly jarring when compared to the rest of the lush Italianate antique-heavy hotel. ||Unfortunately, for this hotel/villa, one can also add the persistent street noise that continues throughout the night of large trucks and whining scooters from its location next to a busy highway. This is annoying, but tolerable. ||However, on the weekends, there is an outdoor techno-music disco/nightclub that is located on the property at the Torre San Marco which blasts loud music with a heavy bass beat until VERY late night (think 3 am) into the early morning. ||When I voiced my complaint, the management pointed out the fine print in the email sent to my travel agent (which I never saw – so boo on my travel agent) noting the possible late night noise from their nightclub and/or events (weddings, birthdays, etc). As these events are very likely during the summer months because the location really is incredibly lovely, be aware that the nightclub will also be in operation and that sleep may be impacted. ||So buyer beware…read the fine print of your emails and avoid this lovely villa if you want sleep. |

Absolutely the best dining experience I had in my life. The quality of ingredient is absolutely outstanding and is masterly interpreted by the chef. All this sided by one of the best selection of wines and champaignes I ever seen. All this corroborated by a unique location where history is breathed together with the breeze of lake Cards.
