We had a brilliant week staying at Gasparina Village. Although we booked separately, we travelled with three other families and were all placed in apartments next to each other, which worked perfectly. The kids absolutely loved the pool, and we had no issues with the local ducks! The accommodation is basic, as expected from a 3-star rating and the photos, but it was exactly what we needed. We don’t mind walking, so the location suited us well — about 25 minutes to a supermarket, 15 minutes to Gardaland, and an easy walk to a bus stop for Verona. We also enjoyed a lovely 40-minute lakeside walk to Peschiera del Garda, where we caught the ferry and visited Sirmione and Lazise — both beautiful. The food on site was good and very reasonably priced. Martina and her staff were always warm, welcoming, and accommodating. We had three SEN children in our group, and they were fantastic at catering for even the fussiest eaters without any trouble. It’s a very quiet and peaceful resort, and we always felt safe with children aged 6–14. We’re already planning to return next year as great value!

Stayed here as a family of 3 in July 2026. Overall a really good experience as the complex was set up for families who did not need constant entertainment and were quite happy to chill and do their own thing. The apartment was basic but clean and we never had a problem with ants or anything like that. There was no ignition on the hob and the toilet seat had been glued back together but otherwise all was good. At night we just left the doors open to let the air con circulate fully. The complex is really well laid out and the pool, although shallow, is a good size and there seemed to be plenty of sun loungers. The restaurant was lovely with the breakfast having a good selection at a good price. The main menu had really good choices and my kids loved the pizza and pasta on offer - really couldn't' fault it There is plenty do nearby with Lake Garda only a 5 minute walk away but and this was the problem for us - without a car it is difficult. The road up to the complex has not pavement and was quite long and walking with kids the cars could go by at quite a speed which made me nervous plus it is not lit at night. If you wanted to walk to Peschiera it was much better to walk along the Lake front which took about 45 minutes. Otherwise there was not a close bus stop and the supermarkets were a good 25 minute walk away - I ended up spending a lot of money on the few taxi's that seemed to be about. Also the onsite ship has very little in it and you need to go down to the campsite shop for more choice however it is expensive. Best bet is to get to Lidl or Mingoss about 25 mins walk away if you need it. Consider really carefully if you don't have a car if this is the place for you . Otherwise there are lots of paces to go including Gardaland (evening tickets were great), the Aquapark and Movieland plus a trip to Verona is only 10 minutes by train. The accommodation is basic but it is well priced and the staff are lovely - this place has given us many happy memories.

It’s a basic set up but for us that was fine. We were never going to be hanging around in the resort anyway. It was clean tidy and functional. All staff were friendly and reasonable English speakers. Due to our flight times we arrived 3 hours before check in time but that was not an issue and we were given immediate access to our apartment. The pool is pretty big but shallow. Whilst we did see ducks frequenting the pool we never saw any poo floating about or at the poolsides. Lake Garda is a short walk and was warm enough to swim in. It’s full of ducks as well but that doesn’t seem to offend anyone so I think the duck issue here is a non-issue. We booked self catering so we only used the on site restaurant a couple of times. We would say there are better and cheaper options close by. We had hired a car and it appears to be a necessity for this location. Some things are walkable but in July it was 30c plus every day and that drastically reduces how far we would want to walk. There is a laundry room and no one else seems to use it so getting our clothes washed was a quick and easy experience. The on site shop doesn’t have much and we never bought anything from it. Our apartment was north facing and that gave us an excellent view towards Monte Baldo and the alps. The view did suffer a bit from haze though. The air con worked fine and the apartment was cool enough for easy sleeping. Location with a car is excellent. Some of the best places to visit are within 20 minutes. Worth noting though that north lake Garda may only be 30-40 miles away but the roads are not the fastest and it could take 2 hours to cover that distance and there are cyclists everywhere. Based upon the price we paid to stay here then we thought it was excellent value. It’s not 5 star luxury but if you want that then triple your budget.
