Just spent 10 days at the Meridiana in Sirmione and couldn't have found a better hotel for us. Small, charming yet unpretentious, in a quiet tree lined road, about 10 mins ,walk up to the Roman Villa and a few minutes to the centre with its many cafes and restaurants. Buffet breakfast generous and varied (unusual for a small Italian B&B). We asked for room with a bath which we got, and the room was bigger than most so worth asking for if staying longer than few days. Staff v.helpful. Also, unusually while on holiday, we slept very well every night (maybe helped by Itallian wine admittedly). The hotel doesn't have a flash swimmingpool or is by the lake, but we loved it as it was almost our special little secret. If we were to return to Sirmione we would definitely go back to the Meridiana.

What a great little hotel this is. Just a two minute walk into town, but in a very quiet location. No fancy pools, resturants, bars etc but big clean rooms, with superb staff, but is half the price of the lakeside hotels. If all you want is a room to sleep, and adequate breakfast then this is the place to stop, and use the hundreds of pounds you save on the rest of your holiday.

My wife and I went to Sirmione during winter in Italy.

For a start, we waited at the De Sanzano train station for a good 2hours before we finally gave up and called the hotel to arrange for a taxi to come pick us up. The (only) hotel staff was very nice by offering to pick us up in his vehicle but he mentioned that the other staff hasn't arrived and hence he needs to be at the hotel.

We were the only customer for the hotel and the same staff mentioned that it hasn't snowed like that in 25years in Sirmione.

The rooms were neat and tidy. Rather big bathroom. The sheets were clean but the TV was located badly above the head for it was pretty small and couldn't really be seen from the bed. Other than that, (maybe because we were the only customer), we felt that the service was pretty warm and frindly. Breakfast was aplenty, despite only us eating. The coffee in Italy is fabuulous so you must request it from the hotel staff.

On the whole, a relatively pleasant experience. Will definitely visit again in Summer for the balcony and to watch the sunset. Fabulous location too!

For the price, the Meridiana cannot be beat. It's in the center of town, through the city walls. Great location, clean room, ask for a room with a balcony-essential. The rooftop terrace is fun with a bottle of wine to watch the sunset. Was in Sirmione for a wedding and the entire party stayed at this hotel. Would recommend highly.
