My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights in June. It is in a tranquil spot in the hills above Lake Garda, away from the lakeside hustle and bustle but within easy reach of the sights. A beautiful old building, our room was very spacious and comfortable. The food was very good, both in terms of quality and value and the wine list satisfied my oenophile husband. The staff were friendly and attentive, but not overly so. We had a thoroughly relaxing stay and would love to return one day.

“Tranquil retreat in the hills above Lake Garda”

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights. It's beautiful. Our room was huge, beautifully decorated and had views down the valley. It was a twenty minute drive down to Garda on the lake, so an excellent base from which to explore the lake. We ate outside in the courtyard on our first night - fantastic food and wine, and all the staff so friendly and helpful. Great swimming pool set up in the meadows behind the hotel, it was so peaceful swimming and sunbathing there for a couple of hours. Breakfast was until 10.30, great range of pastries, meats, cheeses and eggs, and you can eat inside or outside. We hope to come back here, it was just so lovely.

“Pleasant, in the heart of the countryside, yet close to Lake Garda”

Locanda San Verolo would need just a few tweaks to score much higher. Some rooms are located some 150 yards from the main building but the path to the rooms is not lit at night. The rooms are enormous and very well appointed but, in my case, the huge and very nice bathroom was in a lower floor. Pe… more

Locanda San Verolo would need just a few tweaks to score much higher. Some rooms are located some 150 yards from the main building but the path to the rooms is not lit at night. The rooms are enormous and very well appointed but, in my case, the huge and very nice bathroom was in a lower floor. People with mobility problems or wheelchairs may find it difficult to move about. Personnel is very kind and helpful, always with a smile, trying to accommodate to one's needs which is very pleasant when you are vacationing. There is even a welcome glass of Prosecco white wine that will put you in the right mood. I think that breakfast needs a little more organization how it is presented. However, it is plentiful, with many choices all of very good quality.

“Restaurant: Not bad, but I had expected better”

This is a review for the restaurant, not the hotel. The location very nice, upon the hill, in a green surrounding.

This is a review for the restaurant, not the hotel. The location very nice, upon the hill, in a green surrounding. Eeating is done out on the terrace in front of the old house (and hotel), however, with not so comfortable (metal) chairs. We chose a table when it was still light, but when darkness fell, there were just 2 or 3 umbrella's with a light. Our table was completely in the dark, with only the light of a candle to see what you were eating. That may be enough to have a pizza, but it is surely not enough to have a decent dinner. As Appetizer, we took a mixed plate with fish (we were given the choice between meat and fish) for 15 euro. This consisted of 3 small items, not really worth 15 euro. As Primi I had the Pasta nero with shrimp which was VERY good, and my partner had the pasta with duck, which was only so so. As main course my partner had the mixed fish grill. Not bad, but not up to the expected level (the week before we spent in Chioggia, were these type of dishes were superb, this one does not live up to the comparison). My dish was the Swordfish, which was also only so so. Again, it was not bad, but we had much better earlier this trip. Whilst we were eating our main course, the staff started to clear the terrras, removing all table cloths, etc. Seemed to give a strange message to the few guests still eating their dinner. The price for 1 shared appetizer, 2 primi and 2 main courses + a bottle of Prosecco was 95 euro. A price I would happily pay but the food served was unfortunately not up to this level. If this were between 60 and 70 euro, they would get a score of 4, at 95 euro, this reduces to 3. Note: they need more attention for details: e.g. the mens room had toilet paper but no light, whilst the ladies room had light but no toilet paper. This should not happen at a place which pretends to have a certain level !
