Hotel Pace
I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights at the end of November, with my husband and other friend in an organized group travel
Style: little family run hotel, the hall consists of the reception desk, and there is a large sofa in the opposite corner and the bar desk.
Location: at the border centre of Arco. The area is very quite during night.
Rooms: Room furniture is very poor, taking into account that it is a three star hotel. Bathroom was narrow and needed an urgent refurbishment. However the worst thing was the temperature: freezing. Due to a strange heating system, that makes second floor rooms burning and first floor rooms freezing (mine was obviously on the first floor)
Food: breakfast was decent. I had an half board accommodation and could say that food was adequate, but not excellent. Surely you can eat better in the surrounding restaurants. The best is the Casino restaurant: cheap and very good.
The staff is kind and attentive.
The good: location
The bad: the temperature of the rooms and the needing of refurbishment
Final comments: It could be an adequate hotel, but only in spring or summer. If it happens you go there in winter make sure you have a room on the second floor!

A small traditional family run hotel in Arco which is about 5km north of Lake Garda/Riva Del Garda. Within walking distance of a small handful of bars and eating places in a mainly residential area. There are a few supermarkets nearby. There is a castle which is accessible via the steep back streets. Beautiful area with lovely buildings and two churches away from the more well known villages around Lake Garda. Local buses serve the area but may not be very frequent off season. The hotel has a small bar, internet access, a restaurant, rooms are twin bedded and of a decent size and well equipped, some with 3 beds. Very clean and rooms were serviced daily, with fresh towels being provided twice over a four night stay. The food was plentiful and better than expected, being in a party of 49 and on half board. Bar prices were also very reasonable e.g. 2 Euros for a coffee and 12 Euros for a bottle of wine with dinner. The negatives were a small lift which caused problems with the arrival and departure of a large party. Also my room overlooked a street which was fine apart from the street cleaning vehicle came along quite early in the morning and was a bit noisy. Popular with cyclists and climbers. Parts of the area are very steep but walking into the main town is reasonably flat. I would stay here again as I loved the area but you would need to be on an organised coach trip or hire a car if you wanted to fully explore the area around the whole lake. A 3 hour drive from Venice + water taxi and about and hour and a half from Verona.
