Hotel Riel, Sirmione - Lake Garda hotels

Hotel Riel, Sirmione

In a peaceful spot in Sirmione, 100 metres from Lake Garda, Hotel Riel is close to Lugana beach and just 400 metres from the Virgilio spa. Sirmione's historic centre is three kilometres away and features a beautiful 13th-century castle that was built by the Scaligeri family when they ruled Garda. It's easy to visit the other resorts around the lake from here. Visit the Castello at Malcesine where in 1786 Goethe was briefly imprisoned for 'spying' - he had been sketching the castle. Or take the funicular up Monte Baldo and on the way down, hire a bike and enjoy the views.

South of Malcesine, Torri del Benaco is a charming village with a beach and walled park with a children's playground. The theme parks Gardaland - which is close to the hotel - and Canevaworld make the perfect day out for children. Alternatively, Sirmione's proximity to the motorway/highway and train links means you can easily take a trip further afield to Verona, Mantua (Mantova), Brescia or Milan.

When you need to relax a bit, you can swim in the hotel pool, lounge in the bar, play ping-pong or borrow a bike and go exploring. The hotel's lakeside restaurant Al Braciere offers the chance to experience exquisite Italian food in a beautiful setting. This three-star hotel in Sirmione has comfortable, fully equipped, air-conditioned rooms and most of them have balconies. A 24-hour front desk is on hand to help you have a fantastic holiday, plus safety deposit and free parking is available.
