Villa Smeralda is a small, family run hotel situated on the Villa Panoramica. The short walk up from the town centre is rewarded with wonderful views of the lake (our lake view room with a balcony was spacious and comfortable). However, since we arrived by bus from Verona Allessandro, our host, met us at the bus station and took us... More

After staying in Riva 2 years ago, we travelled across the lake to Malcesine for a day trip and instantly fell in love with the medieval town and its natural charm. So much to see for those that wish to explore and equally some divine locations along the lake to bathe and soak up the sun alongside stunning views of... More

First of all some positive impressions: The quiet, uphill location with a great panoramic view over the lake, everything within a short walking distance from the very center of Malcesine. You might also like the nice swimming pool and the hotel interior in really good shape. These were "Pros" and now come "Cons": Our beds were extremely short as if... More

It's a modern, clean hotel just a short walking distance from town. Be prepared with sneakers or comfortable shoes for your trip; taxis are limited, but you will want to... More

The rooms were tasteful, airy and spacious, with a great view of the sunset over the lake. The pool was clean, and a real treat after a day out. The hotel is quiet, away from the... More

We have just returned from attending my nephew's wedding at Malcesine Castle and we stayed at this wonderful hotel. The rooms are to a very high standard and the air conditioning is bliss! The hotel is located on a quiet road which is a plus as the roads can be very busy in the centre of Malcesine. There are wonderful... More

My daughter was married at the castle in Malcesine this summer and we picked the Villa Smeralda as a place to stay by sticking a pin in the list of hotels that came up in TripAdvisor. We found it a clean, comfortable and very well run hotel. There are lots of good hotels in the area and competition must be... More
