Absolutely fantastic. Greta location, to get to the hotel if you are driving you do have to drive through the historic centre which can be a little narrow and busy, however is not an issue and quite the experience. The hotel is ideally located for exploring, relaxation. The staff were amazing, especially Simone who was great with recommendations and just overall and absolutely delight to talk with.

Perfect Location & Facilities. Staff are amazing. The pool area has a beautiful view of the lake & plenty of sun beds in the sun & shade if preferred with a bar/restaurant for pool side enjoyment. Private access to the lake for hotel guests & a short walk to Jamaica Beach & the main town make this hotel the perfect location. Quiet & peaceful area. A special thanks to all the staff involved in helping me with a surprise for my partner. All round brilliant stay, if you’re looking for a location in lake garda, Sirmione is the place & Hotel Ideal is the cherry on top

Nice location at the best spot in Sirmione! Only the strange persons at the small hotel public beach, who openly smoke drugs and take the best spots in the shade, are a problem in my eyes, because of the kids! Drugs at places where kids are is just horrible and should be restricted by the hotel and the police! So one star less!!!

The location of this property was stunning with views and proximity to the lake. It is located at the edge of the peninsula, so you do have to walk 10 min to the town center. The rooms are modern, but the washroom was a bit outdated and the mattress was very hard and uncomfortable. The breakfast had lots of options and tasty. My favorite was the view of the lake - just stunning.

Fabulous, quiet location, with great views of the lake and an easy, beautiful walk into Sirmione. The hotel and grounds are excellent and the buffet breakfast is a fabulous cornucopia of excess - we really loved this - especially the freshly made coffee, and fruits and vegetables. The A/C was wonderful and beds firm but comfortable, allowing us the best nights sleep of our vacation. The real highlights here are the staff, the service, and hospitality, which exceeded my expectations. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure our stay was exceptional. The only downside - and this was my poor planning and nothing to do with the hotel - was the popularity of Sirmione and the thousands of visitors during the summer months, which made getting in and out of the town by car an absolute nightmare after 9.30am. Seriously. I would suggest paying for parking outside the old town, getting a transporter/golf buggy service to take you and your luggage to and from your hotel at the start/end of your stay, and walking to your car for trips outside Sirmione.

Ótima estadia porém como o hotel fica na ponta de Sirmione precisa ver os horários livres para entrar na cidade . A passagem de carro pela cidade é bem apartada. O Lugar é muito bem localizado , fomos a pé para o centro em poucos minutos. O quarto é bom mas o banheiro um pouco apertado. A piscina é ótima, o cafe de manhã excelente e o estacionamento muito bom.
