Subject: Lake Garda
We went to Lago de Garda and enjoyed it a lot. I will only mentioned our experience, by no means I am an expert , what a know is that I liked the place we stayed and it was reasonable for my standards. We stayed at a Hotel called Torre di Garda, this hotel belongs to the Radisson SAS group. Normally we prefer smaller independent hotels but this place had a lot of advantages for us.. It is located on a small hill on top of Garda, so the place has a great view and is surrounded by trees , big pool, absolutely a very good buffet breakfast, also has a restaurant on premises, you can choose to stay with dinner or B&B, ( the food however is not 100% Italian, but rather a modified Italian food cartered to the taste of tourists,) plenty of free parking, it was lovely to walk around or simply to drive to town in Garda ( 2 minutes drive), take ferries etc. Also it is not far (10 minutes) from the autostrata and from there we made several very nice one day trips to Verona, Vicenza,Mantova, Sirmione and took a number of ferries from Garda ..... The plan including dinner is reasonably priced also the B&B,we chose this last one because we liked more the food in the many restaurants and pizzerias down by the lake...you can find information in http://www.radisson.com Their accommodations are like suites,( 1 bedroom +1 living room) with a terrace, in the living room they have a little fridge, and hot plate, micro, and iron board... The furniture is Scandinavian , nothing exciting but nice. NOte: should you go there , their printed driving instructions are very poorly explained so ask for directions by phone.
