We planned to spend 2 nights on Lake Garda and selected Gargnano as a small, unspoilt location - how right we were - and Hotel Garni Riviera proved to be the ideal place to stay! It is right in the centre of the small village and everything was within a short walking distance. Our room was huge, light and airy with a panoramic view of the Lake - it appeared to have been recently renovated and decorated, so everything was fresh and clean. There was a ceiling fan over the bed and full-length windows/doors which we had open at night, so no need for A/C. The owners, Gianfranco & his wife Elisa were friendly and helpful throughout our stay and gave us lots of local information, and even arranged a tour of a nearby lemon grove. They both speak excellent English and could not have been more helpful. Breakfasts were self-serve on a covered balcony overlooking the lake - a very pleasant start to the day. Parking is available for 3euro/day a few hundred metres up the road but we didn't need the car and left it there for the duration. Walking in either direction there are other small villages each with it's own little harbour and delightful cafes to stop for a drink or light lunch beside the lake. It was even warm enough for a dip in the lake, which I had expected to be freezing! I cannot imagine why this hotel is only rated 2* - everything about it seemed to be at least 3*!
