Hotel Continental - TonelliHotels

Lovely hotel set up in the hills above Lake Garda. Went half board and found the food of a high standard - 4 courses salad buffet to start / soup or pasta / fish, meat, vegetarian / desserts., it was all freshly cooked and the sauces with of a high standard. Room was basic but found the beds very comfortable and had a excellent sleep, also large tv in rooms. Pool is based in the garden which was lovely and clean and plenty of sun beds . Pool bar provides food - toasted sandwiches , pizza, cheeseburgers etc. The evening entertainment was good with an excellent father and daughter act. The hotel bathrooms are a bit dated. The hotel is situated in Nago which is up the hillside, but we caught the bus and ordered a taxi easily. Nago is an old town and very quiet . The hotel on the second night did finger food buffet and free drink which was excellent before the evening meal. The staff at the hotel were very pleasant and always trying to help ,they all worked very hard. The hotel felt safe with large a car park.The average age of the cliental was probably between 40 and 70 ., not many families with young children at the hotel. I would definitely return to the hotel.

We picked this hotel based on the photos and reviews, but they didn’t match our experience. The hotel is away from the lake about a 20-25 minute walk, although the hotel does offer a shuttle bus. You can also get free local travel and entry to some attractions using the local Garda card. Just ask the reception team. The hotel is close the busy main road and noise was an issue. Traffic started very early in the morning. Internally you could hear everything from doors slamming, on-going conversations, to showers, all night. The rooms are basic but clean, definitely dated some might call retro. The food was not as expected. Breakfast was poor, no omelettes although the egg lady would make fresh fried eggs. If you got in after the coaches had left, the buffet had been obliterated by people making sandwiches for their trips home. Staff struggled to replenish this area. As for the evening meals we liked having a designated table, but it was just like being in a school canteen. It was overcrowded with no atmosphere, and if your starter was hot your main would be cold or vice versa. The menu was repetitive and certainly not the taste of Italy we were expecting. We loved the area around the lake. The hotel staff were helpful. Would we visit again, no this was not the family, authentic taste of Italy we were expecting.

My partner and I had a wonderful stay at the Hotel Continental in September 2024. The hotel is situated in a peaceful location and we were aware there was an uphill walk from nearby Torbole when we booked. The walk is very scenic but there is also a free shuttle bus provided by the hotel and public transport with a bus stop near the hotel. A Trentino guest card can be obtained from reception which will get you free public transport and entry to some attractions in the area. The rooms were spotless and had all we needed for a pleasant stay. We were half board and the food was outstanding. Lots of choice and the main course was cooked freshly each evening. All the staff were friendly and welcoming especially Lorenzo in the restaurant and the gentleman in the outdoor bar. We loved the location and looked forward to returning to the hotel each evening away from the busyness of the other towns we visited around the lake. Overall we had a wonderful holiday and look forward to returning to the Hotel Continental soon.

The Perfect Hotel, staff, food, wine, pool. The staff cannot do enough for you. The food is more like 5 ⭐️. Lorenzo just great & cocktails wonderful. The free mini bus to the lake service is outstanding & again run by lovely gentleman . Thanks for making my 60th B’day so special . GRAZIE ❤️
