Hotel Garnì Riviera

It was super pretty!!!

Big room and spacious bathroom. Very friendly receptionist/owner, who helped us finding a spot to park the car. Breakfast was 6euro extra, but well worth the price. Plenty of choice and a nice view on the sunny balcony.

Difficult to find a parking spot. Loud garbage collection early in the morning (9am).

The staff that welcomed us was warm and funny, the room met our expectations and it was super clean. On top of that, the hotel has a hidden terrace with an amazing view of the lake. Could not expect more!

Everything was awesome! Staff was super helpful, room was very spacious and clean, breakfast on the beautiful terrace with an incredible view cannot be better. It is a truly special hotel. We didn't want to leave.

Gargnano is an enchanting corner of Lake Garda. There are three villages in succession with a variety of restaurants and other amenities. It is a very romantic place and children are welcome. Boutique Hotel Garni Riviera is kept immaculately clean and has a number of ensuite rooms with different prices, depending on size or whether their windows overlook the lake. Such is the large terrace where breakfast is served. Nearby, the small ferry moors, which will take you to other resorts. Some are a bit too crowded, unlike Gargnano which keeps an exclusive feeling but will not break the bank. I have been there a few times and encouraged friends to visit. I can wait to return!

We've stayed here at least 5 times over the past 25 years, once for an entire month--it was a joy from the first and yet has somehow gotten even better each time. Gian and Elisa Scanferlato, the gracious hosts, always make us feel welcome and go out of their way to help visitors enjoy and explore Gargnano, including helping me via email ahead of time to plan a large academic conference in Gargnano and then offering assistance multiple times as needed throughout the week-long event (their fluent English made them especially helpful to conference attendees). We've booked additional rooms to stay here twice with family--once with an 8-month-old grandchild and her parents and most recently with two older grandkids, 9 and 11, and their parents--and have been told afterwards how much they all wish to return. From the moment we step off the ferry and roll our suitcases the short level block to Gian and Elisa's front door, we feel happy and at home. Each day starts with a delicious breakfast on the terrace overlooking the lake--and we often found ourselves on the lovely terrace in the evenings as well, enjoying the breeze, watching the lights across the water, and sharing a bottle of wine from the self-service fridge. But do bring earplugs; with windows open, street noises or voices from the busy restaurant by the lake are inevitable until 11 pm or so. On the hottest days, the ceiling fans helped keep us cool in the absence of AC. The beds are comfortable, the rooms are immaculate, and we can't imagine staying anywhere else when we come to Gargnano!
