If you're considering vacationing on Lago di Garda, consider the small town of Limone and the Hotel Villa Elite in the hills above the town. Limone is a bit more remote than Riva, Bardolino, and many of the other more well known destinations so it is normally quieter and more relaxed. The Hotel Villa Elite is a gem that easily lives up to all the rave reviews it gets on this site. The property consists of an older but well maintained hotel with the traditional lobby, breakfast area, and a small bar. There is at least one other property just down the street from the main facility. My wife and I stayed in the latter and the view of the lake from the balcony and the communal sitting area over the pool is superb! The room was neat, clean, and modern with a jetted tub, flat screen TV, etc. Breakfast is complimentary and very, very good! The hotel staff is small but good. The walk to the lake takes a good 15 minutes but there is a shortcut (ask for directions) and the path makes it pleasant walk. Try the little Italian restaurant just across the street from the hotel - good pizza and pasta at very reasonable prices. Parking is free and there is a gated parking area adjacent to the hotel annex.
