Hotel Sogno del Benaco

We booked with no prior knowledge of the hotel or location and I'm so glad we did, it exceeded our expectations in every way, we will definitely return and would not hesitate to recommend it.

It is difficult for me to understand sometimes why hotels get good ratings and super good comments and reviews. I read the comments that say, that this hotel is amazing and great and so on. The reason we booked it. I find this hotel rather mediocre. The rooms are alright, "clean", but not if you look closely. It's already a little old and not really made with love. Some if the towels are old and stained, which is quite gross as they are white.the floors in the room are not mobbed with every day room service, that's for sure. The breakfast is good, a lot to choose from and a variety everyone will find something to eat. Best in the morning, the last 2 hours 9 to 10.30 it's just robbed and not much left. The receptionists are nice. The waiters are overworked, they are just quite stressed. I noticed that some of the evening shift workers from the restaurant are the breakfast shift workers for breakfast, so I get the stressed and maybe overworked part. It's a good okayish hotel, as most of your time you spend outside anyways. It's okay, but in my opinion it is not a 4 star hotel and the pricing for a night with over 200 euros is probably just the front row to the lake. The direct beach entry part is quite well phrased as due to the pictures and the wording, you get the impression, that the beach is part of the garden of the hotel, it's not. There is a restaurant in between. You do get direct access if you pass the restaurant and go to the beach. I feel like this should be better explained. But it's super close that for sure. The restaurant of the hotel "steak hous da sogno" just sucks...made a review there would recommend to go there at all For a stay where you literally just sleep it's totally fine, but I am a picky traveller and I would probably try something else next time at limone, if we come back.

The hotel is very close to the lake and the center. Undergroundparking is possible (extra fee but worth it). I loved the lavish breakfast and you can have it outside on the terras. Rooms are very clean and light. You can use the out-and insidepool pool of the garden bellevue hotel next door.

Stayed here for 6 nights as part of a tour. We had a lovely room, good size, clean and with a great lake-view and balcony. It was serviced daily by a delightful lady. Breakfast was fine - what you would expect with plenty of fruit which we like. We were on half board and the evening meal, which had to be chosen the day before, was just about adequate but nothing special. We had a delightful waitress Tamara who was always smiling and welcoming. Monika on reception great too. Bar service slow and haphazard and they seemed to have intermittent issues with charging drinks to the room via their system. Swimming pool is in the neighbouring hotel but there is a garden where sunloungers are set out. There is also a sunroof area with a jacuzzi which some of our group used. Hotel is probably more 3 stars than 4. With its location, it really could be a little gem but food needs some work.
