Park Hotel Casimiro

Beautiful hotel and great staff. Right on the lake with restaurants and ferry-boats to the nabour villages.

This is a very good hotel. It is smart, clean and the service is generally excellent. My wife and I stayed for 17 nights in late September/early October. We had an excellent room with a full lake view (Rm 1203). The towels were changed without fail every day and the bed linen every 3 days. The beds were OK but we have had better elsewhere. The large screen TV did not seem to have a single English language channel, so we didn't use it at all. The balcony was a good size. The shower was excellent but the wash basin was designed not to have any means of plugging it and therefore could not be filled. The food was very good but with some minor criticisms. Over the time we were there the dishes at the buffet dinner did repeat to some extent but there was no obvious predictable pattern. There was always a good choice and each night one dish would always be served from a carvery counter. For dinner, we were assigned a permanent table and we were lucky enough to be given one by the window with the lake view. Breakfast was also buffet with extensive choice. Coffee was served in an insulated pot for each table. The restaurant staff were excellent. The location of the hotel by the lakeside is excellent for views, access to the lake, closeness to the boat station for scheduled trips to other lakeside towns, and for drivers (spacious hotel car park). However, the local walking options are limited. There is a steep hill up to Portese village and from there a short walk into San Felice. We also walked to Salo; it took us an hour, first half by road, second half on the lakeside. Lake Garda is lovely. We had been some years ago to the mountainous northern part of the lake, so we enjoyed seeing the lower lying southern parts that we had not previously managed to visit. Sirmione is a must but was very crowded, even in late September.

I stayed at the Park Hotel Casimiro with my wife for a week during the summer. What a fantastic experience! The hotel was excellent, with great facilities and outstanding food. The evening meals were a real highlight, with a wide range of lovely meals to choose from. We had the same table reserved every night too, so no need to rush down early, and it had a beautiful view of the lake. Breakfast was also very good and a great start to the day. The bar is located right by the lake edge, ideal to sit with a Spritz and enjoy the view. The room was very nice - clean, and comfortable with everything we needed. The aircon was perfect. Even on the hottest days it was lovely and cool - a little oasis to return to after a day on the lake. The cleaning staff were fantastic too and kept it immaculate. The lake itself is served by ferries, accessible with just a few minutes walk to Porto Portese. Every day we explored somewhere new - Salo, Gardone, Garda, Bardolino, Sirmione and more. For those reviews that complained about the lack of things to do nearby, I suggest doing your research next time. Either take a car, use the ferries as we did, or stay somewhere like Garda where there is much that is accessible on foot. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help - a big thank you to them all for making our stay so enjoyable.
