The quite setting of lake Garda is simply wonderful. We absolutely loved stay on the lake, at the Hotel Lake Garda called "Baia D'oro" as this provided the perfect atmosphere for us to relax, unwind and enjoy our short break away. The wooden peer on this hotel was beautiful, we often visited here to relax on the sun beds and top up our tans. The hotel staff were very pleasant and overall the hotel provided not just a peaceful setting but there was also activities that we were able to take part in, through the hotel.

Taking a boat tour on lake Garda really is essential if you are staying there. You can either take a guided tour or you can hire your own. We were new to the island so we went on a guided tour in order to get around the lake. You pay a little more for this and you don't quite get the freedom but you really do see what the lake has to offer from a true expert on the surrounding lands. As a keen golfer, the hotel was also keen to point me in the direction of the nearest golf course, which isn't far and is truly beautiful to play on.

The great thing about this hotel is that there is a sensational restaurant on site that delivers high quality food and wine. We ate there most nights and the food is expensive but it is also worth it because the quality is simply second to none.
