Nice little hotel. Our room was very warm and we could not turn on the air conditioning - it had just been turned off for the change of the season. So we sweated in the room. The offer a breakfast that is very good with lots of options. The gentleman servicing us was very nice! We tried to order a drink off the bar menu but the woman running the bar would not do it. Confusing since it's on the menu! There is a very nice pool and on the roof a hot tub. The only thing we didn't like was the rug in the elevator smelled like mauldy socks.

This is a lovely traditional Italian hotel. The staff is great, incredibly helpful and nice. The pool and landscaping are beautiful. Excellent breakfast! Only minor complaint: The showers could be improved - we had 2 different rooms and neither had a shower that functioned really well. We plan to return to Villa Sofia.

Very exquisite older property. The grounds are lovely. The breakfast is done very well. Had a bit of a challenge with the air conditioning. It was either freezing or off- couldn't find any happy medium. Beautiful old building.

I felt like we booked a room I literally in paradise. All the staff were welcoming and kind. Margarita went above and beyond to make our stay memorable and a wonderful memory that we will never forget. The breakfast was fabulous, too. I really can not say enough about this enchanting property in Gardone Riviera!

Beautiful setting on quiet street very close to the village above and Salò below. Lovely breakfast inside, in sunroom or on the terrace. Wide selection of hot and cold items plus espresso, cappucino and cafe Americano. Fresh fruits and juices. Wonderful pool to relax after a day of sightseeing. Great choice in Lake Garda.

It has been a very nice couple of days! The room was spacious and quiet, only the showerhead was furred up and caused flooding. Breakfast was very nice and sufficient. Hotel staff was very nice and helpful at all times. The entire Hotel is very well maintained and neat. Our dog was also very welcome. Location is brilliant, well situated to walk up the hill for lunche and to the village centre for dinner. All in all, we'll definitely return.
