Hotel Galvani

The view from the front of the hotel of the lake is stunning. There is a relatively busy road just in front of the hotel, but excellent shutters on the windows of the rooms which drown out any noise. Staff friendly, breakfast perfectly ok, nice heated outdoor pool. Great location, would definitely recommend.

We had a great time at Hotel Galvani. We had a room on the second floor with a balcony and fantastic lake view. The room had everything you needed including a fridge and a kettle. The room wasn't as big as we were expecting but it was fine. I assume rooms on the other floors are larger. It was an easy, flat 15 minute walk into Torri del Benaco with it's little harbour, castle, shops and, cafes and bars. There is a ferry service and a good local bus service to other towns on the lake. Other reviews mentioned noise from the road (the hotel is just across the road from the lake) but it didn't bother us at all. The staff were great and very helpful, and the facilities were excellent for a smaller, more intimate hotel. If we were going to Lake Garda again we wouldn't hesitate to go to Hotel Glavani again.

We loved both the hotel and Torri del Benaco. Torri is lovely and MUCH less touristy than Garda. Get a room with a lake view, 3rd floor if possible. Galvani is on the main road around the lake so there is some road noise during the day but nothing extreme, at least in the off season. There is a path that hugs Lake Garza and it's a 10-15 minute walk into town. The hotel staff are kind and helpful. The room was gorgeous and spacious. We had dinner one night which was very good (although the fresh whitefish was pretty fishy tasting) and breakfast was substantial and first rate. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hotel Galvani and would stay again in a heartbeat.

Lovely small hotel. Good views of the lake and mountains.A 20 minute scenic walk into the town but worth it.
