Just returned from a fantastic 11 night stay at La Perla, the hotel is approximately 40 yards from Garda bus station where the coach drops you off, we arrived at lunchtime and our room wasn’t ready, this is due to the early flights from the UK, allows little time for turn around, but not a problem, there is a lower floor for storage of your cases, a bar area to sit, a pool bar with loungers and shaded seats, or you can wonder down to Lake Garda itself which is a two minute walk, past the bus station, through the underpass (yes it’s safe) straight ahead for the lake, turn right for the old town. Hotel rooms are small but well designed, big wardrobe, kettle, fridge, and free safe, in the bathroom is a shower which is a bit small but ok, rooms are kept really clean and staff are very friendly, reception staff are extremely helpful and speak excellent English. Evening meal in the main restaurant, you are allocated a table and that is your table for the duration of your stay, the waiter asks your preference for drinks, wine, water, soft drink and serves that at the table, there is a good selection of food which is a buffet, but there are live cooking stations for your main, three choices plus a vegetarian plus a live pasta station, multiple choices for starter and sweet. At this point I must thank Massimo who looked after us during our stay, nothing was too much trouble, made our meal times feel special. At breakfast you can use any table, good buffet selection again, hot and cold food, plus a chef making omelettes, fried eggs and pancakes, a selection of fruit juices, and thankfully the orange juice is good quality, not squash as is often the case. In the evening there is a bar area, where you can pay or charge to the room, there is entertainment a few times a week, this is either in the bar or outside weather permitting. During the day at the pool area, which you can access with your room card through a tunnel that runs under the road, food and drinks are available, and pool towels are in your room on arrival in a nice bag. I highly recommend La Perla, great hotel in a fantastic location, 2 minutes from all the great things Garda has to offer, would definitely return.
