Hotel Castello Lake Front

From my emails before until I checked out everything with this hotel was amazing. I had the pleasure of staying in a lake front living suite as well as the whirlpool suite. The living suite was large and had a walk out patio. It was quiet with an area with sparkling water and coffee outside the rooms. The whirlpool suite was smaller and noisier as it was right on the beach front but the view and jacuzzi tub were amazing. Breakfast buffet was huge. Dinner was fantastic. Housekeeping kept the room spotless. I even asked for help with a salami I purchased and they took it and cut it up for me. The location can’t be beat - on the lake and also in the heart of the village area. But quite all the same. I loved everything about this hotel.

Third time staying here and second in the junior living suite block (well worth it). Everything amazing as always, beautiful views, great service and breakfasts. In the Junior living suites you have access to a water and coffee machine as well as a private sunbathing area. We enjoyed dinners at Aristotle, Rossovivo, Da Nona Pino and Vidoc. Love a sandwich, small pizza snack from Peter Pan too. Can’t wait to visit again in another couple of years

There is only one negative about Hotel Castello and that is having to leave. I've lost count of the number of times we have stayed there and we are already looking forward to our return. Staying in Hotel Castello is like being in a beautiful painting. The scenery is stunning. The rooms all have wonderful lake views, and they are extremely comfortable . The standard of cleanliness everywhere in the hotel is exceptional. Breakfast is a feast with such a variety of high quality food and the option of freshly cooked eggs and pancakes. The restaurant is top class, food and service are fantastic, with a really great and well priced wine list. It is , in our opinion, the best place to eat in Malcesine. A 2 min stroll takes you to the old town with all its lovely cobble stone alleys and squares. This is a family run hotel and it's evident in the attention to detail given to ensure every aspect of your stay is perfect. There is a wonderful team of people working there , it's so nice to see the same smiling faces each year. Paul, Jamal, Raffaele and Karina provide the best of service in the bar and restaurant . Family Treccani should be very proud of this haven they have created . Looking forward to another stay.

What makes this hotel so successful and so popular? Is it the glorious peaceful position right on the lakeside with views from heaven, whilst still being a few steps away from the centre of the delightful Malcesine? Is it the superb breakfast, the variety and quality of which are the best we have ever experienced anywhere? Is it the restaurant with the delicious food and charming, attentive staff? Is it the fact that there are plenty of sunloungers on the lawn overlooking the lake? Is it the comfort and quality of the rooms, beds and bedlinen and the bathrooms? Is it the helpfulness and friendliness of the reception staff? Is it the impeccable cleanliness of all public rooms and bedrooms? Well yes, all of these things. But the real secret is that this is a family-run hotel and it is run with tremendous passion and fanatical attention to detail. There are constant repairs and improvements and nothing is ever overlooked. Indeed the third generation of the family, the charming Pietro, has now joined the team. All the staff are respected and seem very happy, which is evidenced by the length of stay in their employment. No jobs are too menial for the managers (family members), who turn their hand to whatever needs doing, whilst being charming and attentive to all their guests. The only downside? It is now so popular that it gets booked up very quickly. In fact I think I should be keeping my mouth shut as it may add still further to the difficulty in booking a room! Thank you so much to all concerned for making our holiday so immensely enjoyable. Lindy Springett

The best thing about Hotel Castello is the location - close to the centre of Malcesine, but at the same time quiet as it is separated from the busy street area by the castle. It has direct access to the beach, and there is a lovely lakeside walk heading north away from the town, which we enjoyed after supper every night we were there. But additionally it has all you want from a hotel - efficient and friendly staff, an excellent restaurant, yummy and varied self-service breakfast, super comfy beds, great lakeside sitting-out area.... we couldn't fault it.

Three generations. Yes, grandfather purchased the property and the sons and their sons own and manage it now. This is what makes it so special. Yes, the location is spectacular, on the shore of Lake Garda right on the sidewalk that takes you down the shoreline or into the historic town and the Castello Scaligero. The rooms and suites are large, have lake views and are well equipped. The breakfast is the best we've had in all of Italy...even in 5-star hotels in major cities. Freshness, variety, custom preparations and the staff are remarkable. The onsite parking a few yards from the front door is a welcome amenity. But it's the warm and genuine welcome each time the Reception team greets you that makes this place special. This is a property that will remain among my top-five favorites and one to which I hope to return.
