Thanks to all the Monaci family (and I do mean all) our stay in thier hotel was a most rewarding and worthwhile experience. The Gardesana was spotlessly clean and well maintained. The food was excellent. The bruschetta made with tomato,olive oil, garlic and oregano by John and Peter are excellent, but made by Carolina are most excellent. The hotel was... more

This was an excellent hotel to spend seven nights in. I booked it through the Travel Department and it was my first time booking a trip with them. It was a super experience. The hotel itself is immaculate, the food was second to none. The dinner menu changes every night, but you have to make your decision at breakfast time.... more

After a four hour drive from Milan Linate Airport (stopping for lunch for 45 mins) we arrived at Hotel Gardesana where we were received our room keys quickly and efficently. Unfortunately, there is no lift so as it was part of a coach tour everyone regardless of age carried their own bag up. I'm sure we could have asked but... more

After a rather long trip from Malpensa airport which is to the west of Milan it took about 2 hours 30 minutes our bus arrived at hotel at 12.40am. We were keen to get to bed. The room was small but very clean and very adequate. We have been in smaller on our travels. The bed was comfortable and allowed... more

We just returned from our first holiday to Lake Garda and stayed here for 4nights. The hotel is in a good location, about 15/20mins walk from the main town of Riva Del Garda and about 2mins walk from the public beach. The hotel itself was clean and tidy, breakfast was very nice and the staff were very helpful and polite.... more

We shared a twin room and although very small it was sufficient and was spotless. The balcony was also small with enough room for one chair basically but the... more

Our hotel the Gardesana in Torri Del Benaco was the best the service the the hotel itself everything We were picked up in Milan by Agenzia Viaggi Molinari Who,s transfer prices were the best i found (some were asking silly money )Again a great service we shall be useing them again . more

I would agree with the previous reviewers however I did not find it noisy like the contributor from Cork, I was at the side of the hotel, so perhaps that makes a difference. It is a small, comfortable, clean hotel with friendly staff and I loved the food. Not suitable for people with mobility problems as there are no lifts. more

I though the hotel was very clean and location was excellent, especially if you had a car as parking was provided. Two problems I had with the hotel was the lack of air conditioning and the noise from the road and the noise from the people in the room next door to us. I would not stay in this hotel... more
