My wife and I stayed here for 7 nights on half board The hotel location, facilities, food, services and staff excellent. The food in particualr was of such a high quality we never considered eating anywhere else. Little extras such as access to a free room safe and fridge was the icing on the cake. We had a large balcony... More

We stayed at the Sportsman Hotel for 11 nights in August 2011 as part of a Thomson “Lakes & Mountains” package. Our Room (302) Room had a view of the lake (and the private “beach”). There was no balcony, although the doors could open to let fresh air in. The Air-Con was quiet. (Note that you can request (at Reception)... More

The Sportsman Hotel turned out to be a perfect choice for us, approximately 45 minutes from Verona Airport and situated on a lovely, quiet lakeside path between Garda, approximately a 15 minute and Bardolino, approximately a 20 minute stroll. Whilst... More

When you see consistently good reviews you are sometimes sceptical but in this case it lived up to all our expectations. Excellent food and accommodation, nice setting and the staff on the whole were a credit to the hotel. Prices reasonable too so don't think you have to walk to Bardolino or Garda for cheaper drink and food it's competitively... More
