Hotel Excelsior le Terrazze

Great hotel in a fantastic location just a few minutes stroll to the harbour / lake front. Staff are fantastic and always greet you with a smile. Food is lovely and the daily afternoon a real treat. Rooms are modern and comfortable with plenty storage and effective air conditioning. We had a top floor room with terrace overlooking the lake. We booked direct so saved money and got free transfers from / to Verona airport Great base for seeing all that Lake Garda has to offer - highly recommend

Beautiful immaculate hotel minutes from the lake. Spotless rooms cleaned daily to a high standard. We stayed half board food was 5*. Special mention to the restaurant staff who were so friendly. Thank you for an amazing stay.

We chose lake Garda for our 50th wedding anniversary as it was the destination for our 25th. We chose this particular hotel based on reviews on here. We weren’t disappointed, this place is truly exceptional in every way. From the reception who arranged for a beautiful bouquet of flowers that appeared in our room on the day of our anniversary, to the cleaners the bar staff and the restaurant servers who decorated our table with gold petals and Prosecco they were all fantastic. The hotel is absolutely spotlessly clean and the pool area and gardens immaculately maintained. We were in a standard room but it had everything we needed, comfortable bed fresh linen daily and decent air con which was much needed in the 35 degree heat we endured all week of our stay. We had a great view of the lake from our balcony also. There was a flat screen tv which offered all the Brit channels which was a bonus we didn’t expect. Our evenings were spent on the terrace with a glass of Perroni taking in the spectacular view of the lake and mountains of Garda. Now to the food. All beautifully presented and served at the table although there were items on the menu which weren’t to our taste but that’s purely subjective. Curried octopus and roasted pike and bream didn’t appeal to us but everyone to their own. There was always a tasty pasta dish or satisfying soup on offer. Breakfast always offered fresh fruit yoghurts and freshly cooked omelette scrambled eggs and bacon, along with cold meats and cheeses. The only niggle was the coffee which was a very disappointing lukewarm sludge. That aside this is a truly excellent hotel in a fabulous breathtakingly beautiful location. We will return at some point but preferably earlier or later in the season as August is very busy and on this occasion very hot.

During our 2 week stay we found the hotel to be lovely. Room and balcony were great with all being spotlessly clean. I would recommend a room with a lake view as it is stunning. The pool was kept in excellent condition and there were always some beds and shades to be found. However, we did have issues with the food. We originally were half board but changed to bed and breakfast after the first week. We found the meals were not of the quality we were expecting especially after reading previous reviews. It was not until the first week was over that we were informed there was an alternative of chicken which we would have had most nights. Meals were difficult to choose from. For example, pork or octopus. Breakfasts were good with a large choice and staff were attentive. I would recommend the hotel but half board was not for us.

Just returned home from 7 nights here, booked through Tui. Hotel immaculately clean, the housekeepers work very hard, it smells lovely in the hotel. My parents had a superior side view lake room and i had a single room. Waiting staff very friendly and polite, big thanks to Vito and his team. We had a good laugh with waiter Emmanuelle and found Maira to be lovely in the bar. The waiters take an interest in your daily activities which is nice. Large breakfast buffet selection with egg chef. Delicious evening meal, buffet salad to start, then 1st, 2nd courses followed by dessert. I am a fussy eater but found something on the menu every night. On our last night they laid on a special buffet evening where the chefs cooked the most amazing carbonara in front of us, it was so tasty! Pool area great, plenty of sunbeds. 2 nights live music with singer with acoustic guitar. Location is great, 5 minute walk down to Garda town and ferry port. The driveway is steep but a taxi drops you off and collects you with your luggage. There are roughly 30 steps, which is fine. Afternoon tea daily at 4pm was a nice treat. The bottle of water replaced daily in the room was much appreciated on the warmer days. Felt very comfortable here and was luxury to be adults only.

Have stayed around the lake many times, but in particular this hotel is our 12th stay. And we wouldn’t stay anywhere else. We have already booked our stay for next year with friends. 😃 The hotel is ideally situated for walking into town and for the ferry terminal for getting around the lake and exploring many of the different towns. every member of the team at this hotel should be commended. From reception to Restaurant to bar staff to the cleaning ladies and not forgetting the night watchman on reception, who was such a gentleman. We only had dinner in the hotel one evening this time, but the food is superb as always. Breakfast has a great choice and the View of the lake is amazing. If I had one niggle it would have nothing to do with the staff or hotel. There are clear signs for guests not to reserve sunbeds. SADLY there are still guests who think it’s okay to do this and to not abide by what is being asked of them of the hotel. Shame on them. ☹️
