Olivi Hotel & Natural Spa

Very comfortable hotel with very helpful, friendly and professional staff. Excellent breakfast. Spotlessy clean. Beautiful pool area. Very close to the lake and town centre. We highly recommend this hotel if you want to stay in Sirmione

We recently traveled (early April 2025) to Northern Italy from the United States for a birthday celebration. We arrived to the Olivi Hotel as our second destination in the early afternoon. We were well-treated by the hotel staff during check-in. We were given several recommendations for lunch in the local shopping area and we were happy to walk down the hill for lunch and shopping. After several hours (including both lunch and dinner), we returned to the hotel for drinks at the bar and were delightfully treated with local spritzes and beer. There were cats around the property and inside the public space, including the bar area, of the hotel. The cats are very nice and most are playful. Our party sat, had drinks and played with the cats. It's clearly a very charming part of the property. We ultimately retired to our rooms and learned that the air conditioning had not been turned on yet within the hotel. It was unseasonably warm outside (which was great for our trip) but also made the rooms unseasonably room for sleeping. We ultimately opened the windows and enjoyed the cooler night air. For us, it made a great experience once we opened the windows. The room was otherwise fantastic and we slept well. The following morning, we were treated to a very nice breakfast buffett that was better than expected. The second day was similar to the first day. We were well-treated by staff who had recommendations for us about potential activities. Later in the day, we returned to the hotel, sat at the bar and played with the cat. Ultimately, our stay at the Olivi Hotel was excellent. We would highly recommend. The cats, for us, were very positive but should be noted if severe allergies are present. The cats were not present in the eating areas, the public halls or hotel rooms. The only other mildly negative comment was related to the spa options available. We did not arrange spa reservations prior to arriving at the hotel. Unfortunately, we were told that there were no available times for us at the spa either of the days that we stayed at the Olivi Hotel. We did not visit the hotel for the spa so it was not a problem but if you desire this experience, I would plan to pre-book to ensure you have the possibility. Altogether, highly recommend. It was an experience that will be hard to forget.

VERY DISAPPOINTED! Firstly the reception staff are completely rude to myself and my 12 year old son (it’s almost like we can’t be bothered here). Secondly if you dislike cats and dogs everywhere don’t go here, I obviously expect them in the street or even outside the hotel but they come into the hotel bar and lay on the sofas when you are eating and having a drink (the staff even stroke them, bring them food and then serve you drinks). We also had to switch rooms as there were flies all over the floor dead and alive and also mini spiders walking on the ceiling, they don’t have their act together here, I would AVOID This is not a 4 star hotel this is more of a 2-3 star tops.

The rooms were great, it was in a nice quiet part of town, the wellness spa experience was fabulous, and it was so helpful that we got a late check out, so that we could shower after our spa experience! I would definitely come back!
