We booked through AAA using Avanti Destinations. They took all of our requests and found the perfect hotel in Lake Garda. Staff was superb. Housekeeping was exceptional. Front desk staff were all extremely knowledgeable and kind. The pool by the lake about a day of walking was great!! Far enough away from the crowded town of Sirmione but east enough to walk there. 5 mins. Would highly recommend the hotel. I don’t read reviews that often but truly appreciated the hotel and staff. A+

“Magical setting, excellent amenities and professional management.”

I celebrated my 80th birthday with 16 friends and family in July 2024. The hotel made the event a truly magical experience for everyone with ages ranging from 9 to 80.

I celebrated my 80th birthday with 16 friends and family in July 2024. The hotel made the event a truly magical experience for everyone with ages ranging from 9 to 80. The management and staff were exceptionally professional and friendly. The children were constantly moving from pools to the lake leaving the adults in peace to relax together and chat. Everyone commented on the excellent catering from breakfast to a splendid birthday lunch. The shops, restaurants and castle of Sirmione were a draw for most while some explored the Sirmione peninsula. I cannot recommend the hotel and it's management more highly and that is from someone who has stayed in many of the leading hotels of the world.

“Fantastic Hotel”

Excellent hotel in a fantastic location on the shore of Lake Garda. Wonderful friendly staff. Great food - delicious four course meals every night of our stay. Spotlessly clean. Not a speck of dust in sight! There is nothing to dislike about the Hotel Continental.

“Mixed Review”

The hotel and it's situation are really good and the room was also quite clean and comfortable. The food was not the best we have ever had - acceptable but nothing to write home about. We were really disappointed with breakfast, it being more continental than we had anticipated. The only cooked offerings were bacon, sausages and egg. Having had the egg once and found myself chewing eggshell this was definitely off the list. Found it strange to have to ask for sliced bread for the toaster! The dinner was nowhere near the quality expected and the worst offering was a prawn cocktail (which I usually love) which consisted of one large prawn cut in half with a lot of sloppy sauce and nothing else. The only thing of note that stood out during out week there was a crepe which was absolutely beautiful. The cleaners seemed to empty our bins and not much else. The bathroom towels were only changed once and I can't recall about the bedding. The bath definitely looked as if it was cleaned on one occasion with the shower hose replaced to it's holder and the plug removed - but the scum around the bath did not confirm this. One day we returned to the room to find our radio on! We certainly did not use this, nor were we aware of its existence. The staff in the restaurant (with the exception of the two Argentinian girls and the head waiter) were not particularly good, friendly or efficient. The barman was efficient and helpful but he could, at times, have benefitted from assistance. Although we did meet the owner he could have been more of a 'presence' At our last hotel the owner went round every table at dinner enquiring as to how things were, if there were any problems, etc. - over and above what was expected or usual. One final point, on our last excursion we were offered envelopes to hand back when paying our bills to enable the owner to share out tips!!! We politely refused, deciding to give tips (as we usually do) to the standout staff during the stay.
