Residence Malcesine-Active&Family

Not often we review on Tripadvisor, but feel compelled to after our stay at Residence Malcesine. Brand New set of apartments, say 30 no. arranged around a good sized pool (20 or 25m, def enough for proper lengths).apartments themselves were spotless and modern, with comfortable beds. Decent kitchen with full sized hob and dishwasher, should you wish to use! All the staff were great and very helpful, with English and German, possibly more widely spoken. Drinks can be served around the pool from the small bar, but this was definitely and pleasantly low key. There is a restaurant (didn’t try) opp the apartments and Speck Stube within easy walking distance. Otherwise however it will be a drive or the hourly bus into Malcesine for dinner and shopping. There was a small part to the back of the property which we believe led to a lake beach, I’d guess 5-10 minutes walk away - there would be a bar & restaurant or two here, but in fairness, we didn’t try as it was far too hot. All in all a great holiday, and somewhere that we would see ourselves returning to.

We have recently returned from our second holiday in Residence Malcesine and cannot recommend it highly enough. The location, views, comfort and service are second to none and all ably managed by the wonderful Katy. While the Residence is not located directly on Lake Garda, a 5 minute walk brings you to the most beautiful little cove for swimming and admiring the views. Malcesine itself is a great base for exploring the lake and Katy is extremely helpful and informative and always smiling. The apartments themselves are modern, spacious, spotless and very comfortable. We were in lake view apartments both years and had large terraces from which to admire the views. We hope to return again next year and I think that says it all.

We stayed in 2 of the 2 room apartments for 2 weeks in the summer of 2021. The rooms were very comfortable and had exactly the amenities we required including air conditioning and wi-if. The manageress Katy, was an excellent host and her colleagues were just as helpful when needed. We had to change rooms after our first week and she was extremely helpful in sorting this out with no fuss. The location of the apartments is excellent giving us walking access to the beaches and town centre. I also do a lot of Nordic walking and had access to a path from the hotel that enabled me to do a 10km walk every morning. The rooms were clean, with a large bathroom and the beds were comfortable. The only negative was that the pool area did not provide enough loungers for all guests but we didn’t mind so much as we preferred to be at the beach or out sight seeing. This is the first chance I have had to post a review since our visit, but as I say sometimes say, better late than never.
