Quellenhof Luxury Resort Lazise was everything that we could have wanted from a luxury spa hotel. The staff are friendly and warm, and seem to have perfected the art of anticipating your requests before you even ask. The property is beautiful and is very much designed such that you have no need to leave the hotel grounds; there is plenty to keep you entertained on-site. Having said that, it is well situated in relation to Lazise, and we frequently walked the 2km to the old town (a nice 20min walk) even through a free shuttle service was available on call. We hired bikes on two consecutive days (free from the hotel), played padel and used the extensive spa area every day. We were concerned that the hotel and town might have an out of season feel to it in late October, but the hotel was almost full and the unexpected autumn sunshine allowed us to use the outdoor pool area on a number of days. The outdoor heated pool was great, but our favourite was the heated rooftop pool with lovely lake views, which we used at sunset on many evenings.|We stayed half board and the quality of the six-course evening meal was exceptional, with at least two choices per course and the added option of ordering off the A La Carte listing if the choices on the set dinner menu didn’t suit. I would echo a comment made by another reviewer who said that you need to choose the pizza as a main course at least once, it really was beautiful. Each course was a nice size, not too large, resulting in an overall ‘full but not overly stuffed’ feeling after desert. Wines were reasonably priced and we tried different local Lugana wines each night.|Breakfast was also very good, with an excellent range of well-presented food. The fruit offering in particular stood out for us. If we were to suggest one area for improvement it would be that the hot food we ordered at breakfast (mainly omelettes) did not match the quality of the rest of the food. There was nothing wrong with it as such, it just didn’t get the same care and attention as the other offerings.|We parked our hired car in the underground car park, which had a designated parking spot per room and was very well sized (unlike some hotel car parks).|Most of the guests were German speaking, with lots of Italians also, so we were in the minority as English speakers from Ireland, but the staff were fluent in English and were very welcoming and genuine in their efforts to make the stay memorable.|We would most certainly return to the hotel and would not even consider looking for a different hotel in the Lake Garda area, Quellenhof ticks all of the boxes for us and is a credit to the hotel management and staff.
