“You may need a brolly to get to dinner!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 June 2011

people found this review helpful

As a change from our usual 'Spanish beach' holidays we decided on Lake Garda, Limone and the San Pietro hotel with 'First Choice'
After a 2 hour coach trip from Verona airport along Lake Garda we arrived at the San Pietro (4*)and sister hotel Cristina (3*). An odd arrangement that had the reception (hardly impressive) for the two hotels combined. Excellent reception staff soon had us dealt with and our cases taken to our room. Wow, what a fantastic view. Top floor on the end. We had requested a top floor by email previously and they came up trumps.
Room of average size, clean and tidy, traditionally furnished. Provided were: robes and slippers, sparkling wine, water, bar of chocolate and towels for the pool, a nice touch and unexpected. Tea / coffee making facilities were provided as was a free safety deposit box. Mini bar (expensive).
All locks were by key rather than card entry /digital. Balcony quite good size with usual 2 chairs and table.
On to the dining room and food. The only access to the dining room is from the exterior so all have to venture outside ( mostly up steps) hence the aforementioned brolly if it's raining. Pasta dishes were excellent and the soup was OK, if not as hot as it may have been. A vast array of salad dishes which included cold sprouts, beans etc. The hot dishes comprised of roast pork or turkey most nights and the hot veg (1 only) and potato was really not up to the mark for a 4 star hotel. Sweets were limited and repetative but we did not go hungry. House wine (really quite drinkable!) and water were freely availble on a self service basis but there was a wine list if you choose to spend extra. Waiting staff were 'politley reserved'. Seating was plentiful both inside and out on the terrace and on our visit seemed only half full.
Breakfast was the same spread of cold meat and cheese with only scrambled eggs and a 'sort of bacon' available everyday. Fruit juice and a choice of coffee was only from a machine. Disappointing.
Hotel grounds had a good choice for sitting out with wonderful views over the lake and plenty of indoor space also. Choice of swimming pools for the San Pietro. We were given a key to the 'upper' and indoor pools. No rush for sunbeds etc. As it rained every day (first week of June) with the exception of 2 mornings this may have helped!! Free afternoon tea/coffee with biscuits and cake was a nice touch. Evening entertainment was mmmmm.... No rush to get in.
Limone is a beautiful flower bedecked lake side town, quite busy even in early season. Plenty of nice shops and cafes, a small beach and public toilets available.
A fifteen minute walk down to the town and the hotel mini bus at 80 cents return (taxi 8 euro's) we didn't attempt the climb back up. If you want views then this hotel provides the best, if you want to be in the town then choose from the many lakeside ones.
As in most Hotels the San Pietro had it's good and bad points. For us it was alright but a little disappointing in places.
Would we return? No, but then we do prefer a beach by the sea.

Room Tip: email the Hotel about two weeks before your stay

“Wonderful accomodation in a great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2011

person found this review helpful

My wife and I stayed at the San Pietro from 11 to 18 May as part of a First Choice holiday which we thoroughly enjoyed. The hotel is in a wonderful location just above Limone (but be aware that it is a 15 minute walk from the town and the route is quite steep).

It is designated four star and this can certainly be applied to the accommodation. Our room was spacious and well equipped with a large furnished balcony and conscientiously cleaned daily. The view over the lake was stunning (I think all rooms face the lake but please check). And the superbly maintained gardens are a delight.

The dining experience was OK but not wonderful. I knew beforehand that evening meals are buffet style but I was not expecting the dining room to be so cramped. Tables were set VERY close together. A cosy table for two was most definitely out of the question. The food was plentiful and good but usually only luke-warm. And since we were in Italy, where were all the Italian cheeses?

The bar was a bit of a disappointment as well. It was closed prior to dinner, so we could not buy an aperitif. This was no big deal in itself since we merely used the mini-bar and had a drink on our own balcony. Also, we found it a bit strange that we could not buy a glass of wine from the bar. Only a bottle or half bottle. And the wine list consisted of only one type of white wine, one rose and two reds. And this in an area where all sorts of wine are grown locally - the Osteria Livio (a bar just up the road from San Pietro) has at least twenty available.

Entertainment varied from good to excellent (the classical trio were especially noteworthy).

But overall we greatly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

“Excellent Service, stunning location would definately recommend”

Have hust returned from 10 fantastic days at the San Pietro- EVERYTHING was above expectation. The staff service, cleanliness, rooms and food were all excellent. The choice of menu at all meals was superb with something for everyone- the staff are also extremely helpful and would if required cater for dietry requirements. We stayed half board with a more than ample buffet breakfast (cereals, fruit, breads, eggs, meat, cheese etc etc), complementary afternoon tea ( with cake & biscuits) and then a further buffet evening meal (where it was possible to start with salad, select fish from the buffet, indulge in a main course and follow with a buffet of desserts and cheese- all with complementary wine and soft drinks). Definate excellent value for the quality and quantity of food- if we had eaten in a restuarant each night as a family of 4 to this quality I dread to think what we would have paid.The location of the hotel pools and terraces has to be the envy of all other hotels in Limone. A great family pool, a large indoor pool and added bonus of a further huge relaxy pool and terrace free from ball games. I agree with other comments that there is a walk into Limone but there is a shuttle bus and to be above the town rather than directly in the middle was great a bonus. HIGHLY RECOMMEND and can't wait to return.

“fantastic location and super hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2010

We have just returned from the most fantastic holiday in the San Pietro Hotel. This was our first time to Italy and it turned out to be an absolute treat. We read some of the reviews of this hotel (fortunately for us AFTER WE HAD BOOKED) and we decided to see for ourselves what it was really like, and boy are we glad we did. What some people find to complain about is just daft. The rooms, dining areas and pool areas were spotless, the staff were courteous and the atmosphere was superb, very relaxing. There were lots of Germans there (thankfully the rules specified NO TOWELS ON SUNBEDS BEFORE 7am) which was respected. The shuttle bus was always on time and for 80cents each way, and absolute bargain. The location of the Hotel is wonderfull and we had a beautifull view of the Lake from our balcony. On arrival in our room was a bottle of sparkling wine, water and chocolates to welcome us, what a treat. We shall definately be going back next year.
