Wow! A mini paradise that is close to everything you need, the hotel itself and grounds are wonderfully peaceful and idyllic. Staff are exceptional and we loved the themed days - the fruit at the tropical breakfast was a personal favourite. 11/10

Great hotel, amazing staff
Amazing staff were super accommodating when we had an issue with our room, went out of their way to help resolve the issue. The rooftop with jacuzzi is incredible, has beautiful views of lake Garda. Loved the stay, rooms aren’t sound proof but was able to sleep well with ear plugs

Great friendly staff that are always available and nothing is too much trouble. Really enjoyed how the hotel has various different outside areas to unwind in so you are not always on top of other guests, gave a real exclusive feel
Natalie, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location!
Great service, attentive staff. A/C was a bit faint and stationed by the door, felt more like a unit. A smidge dated, but great otherwise. Didn’t like that the bathroom had a double sided mirror by the window, which seemed odd, so I covered it. The flusher for the toilet was odd and a bit hard to suppress. Great location walkable to town!
Megan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel & staff were excellent. Hotel is well positioned for train and ferry links with a god variety of eating options within a short walk. Down side, the hotel is situated on a fairly busy road which can be noisy during the day. Overall a good hotel.

We had a great stay at Piccola Vela, the hotel was excellent; we loved the property, the room, the breakfast. We had a great time cycling with the hotel´s bikes to Sirmione for lunch, and the staff was very accomodating to help us have a great time during out stay.

Great spot for tour around Garda Lake
We stayed only two nights but we really enjoyed the location and style of a hotel. Great service and very nice people around. The room was comfortable and clean. Only disadvantages were weak internet connection in the room and the elevator which should be renewed immediately.

Great place for mini-vacation
Great staff. If you like good breakfast, you have plenty to choose from bacon and eggs to sweet bakery and various fresh fruits. The noise from the street and lack of lake view from lower lewels a minus, but the nice walking way beside the lake starts close to the hotel.
