This was the second time we have stayed at PrimaLuna in Malcesine and our stay was fantastic. In 2023 four of us stayed in one room for three nights and in June of 2024 ten of us stayed in four rooms for four nights. In 2024 we were three generations celebrating a big anniversary. Claudia and Antonio and every person at PrimaLuna was helpful, thoughtful and went beyond expectations. Weeks before our recent arrival we made reservations at the excellent restaurant, Rossovivo, at the hotel and told them it was a special occasion. The dinner for 10 included unexpected, unique touches that made it a lifetime memory. The soft, people aspects of our stays have been outstanding. And the more tangible elements make our stays pleasant and convenient: The hotel is steps from Lago di Garda which means beautiful views and easy access to just about any water sport. It is about a 10 minute walk to the gondola up to Monte Baldo and into the center of Malcesine and ferries that make it easy to hop around the beautiful lake. Without getting in a car, our group rented a sail boat, rented bicycles and bombed down 6,000 foot Monte Baldo, hiked around and ate lunch atop Monte Baldo, rode for miles on the bike trail along the lake, toured Scaliger Castle and beautiful Malcesine, swam in the lake and easiest of all, lounged at the hotel pool with tasty drinks. We also enjoy the unusual architecture of the hotel, which they describe as "Everything looks like it needs to be fixed, but it's all perfectly in its place". Last, but certainly not least for a hotel, the rooms are very comfortable with a dash of quirkiness for interest. PrimaLuna in Malcesine is the kind of place we would like to come back to again and again.
