What guests think

At Giardinetto, guests often praise the beautiful lakeside setting and sweeping views, generally friendly staff, and an on-site restaurant many enjoy for quality dinners and solid breakfasts, while noting that experiences and value can vary between stays.

Lake-view balconies and comfortable beds are appreciated, but some rooms feel dated or simple, with occasional issues like a nonworking fridge or musty mattress and noise from the restaurant, street, or private events. Overall cleanliness is good, though a few reviewers mention tired areas and the pool being a bit dirty. Facilities such as the pool, lakeside deck, and rooftop bar stand out, with parking available, but weddings or rooftop parties can cause noise or restrict access. Best for travelers who prioritize on-site relaxation, with awareness of occasional noise and variable dining.

Facilities

Lakeside facilities are a strong point: a pool overlooking the water, a deck/private beach with swim access, a popular rooftop bar, and on-site parking. Occasional weddings or rooftop parties cause noise or limit access; the pool is sometimes noted as not pristine.

We had a wonderful 3-night stay at this charming hotel. The lakeside position is fantastic - it’s definitely worth paying more to get a lake view room. The room was quiet & clean with a comfortable bed and good linen - I think a proper feather duvet. We had a small balcony which was good for reading. The roof-top bar served pizza and light meals. We dined in the smart restaurant one evening - expensive but a lovely treat. The staff were very polite and friendly. Parking free in the hotel car park. The pool was closed for our visit (mid-May) but there were convenient steps down into the lake for some invigorating swims. I highly recommend this hotel.

parking was OK - kamer was OK - onthaal was OK minder goed was de geluidsoverlast : bij aankomst was er een bruidsfeest met disc-jockey op het dak van het hotel, tot 23h00 - en ook de straat maakt ZEER veel lawaai, vooral van snel rijdende motoren. Onze kamer was aan de straatkant. Dinner was de eerste avond zeer goed, tweede avond had ik "vis uit het meer" en daarvan ben ik \'s nachts ziek geworden - is echt niet de klasse van het hotel waardig. Conclusie : goed maar niet zeer goed.

The location of this hotel is superb. The pool overlooking the lake is second to none and was worth the stay for that alone. The restaurant put on a great dinner as well. The actual hotel room was simple and sufficient, but the mattress had a really musty smell that kept me up for hours, until I used towels as a barrier to block the smell. The breakfast should be skipped as well. But oh that view from the pool!

On the first night, we ate in the restaurant. The food was expensive and the portions small – very 1980’s nouvelle cuisine – style over substance. We had to return a tasteless salad and pasta that was under-cooked - it was NOT al-dente, it was undercooked! The glasses of wine were small. The waiter that served us was unfriendly and thrust the wine list across the table right in front of my partner’s face to give it to me. We had to ask for the bill three times over a period of 30 minutes. We did not eat there again. There is more choice in Orta and it’s less expensive. The reception and bar staff were friendly and helpful. In the dining room used for breakfast, no staff greeted us, checked we were staying or our room number or showed us to a table. They didn’t engage with clients at all. The tables were not cleared of your used cutlery and crockery after finishing a course. They just piled up unless you took them to the kitchen. Often there were no bowls at the counter for fruit salad and nuts, they had to be fetched from the other end of the dining room, where the milk and yoghurt was stationed. The whole dining experience was not great. The location on the lake was good. Clientele mostly over 55.
