Hotel Maximilian

Great, quiet location, 15 minutes walk from Bardolino and Cisano. Clean, bright, comfortable and smart hotel. Fabulous L'Unico restaurant, very popular with returning locals, so it must be good! Prices very reasonable and a brilliant selection of wines at good value. Sister and brother Laura and Andrea run the hotel and restaurant very well and are ever present overseeing things. They are a special couple of people. Large off road carpark, good size swimming pool, air conditioning, what more could you want?

My Family and I stayed at the hotel for a week in June for my 40th and were not disappointed. HOTEL The hotel was around a 30-40 minute transfer from the Airport which was a nice distance especially traveling with a 4 year old. We received a warm welcome at the hotel reception and were given our information and room key. The room was lovely and clean, it was unusual to see the shower and sink in the room but it all adds to the quirky style of the hotel which we loved. The hotel is a small boutique hotel with a small amount of rooms, the Pool is lovely and clean. The breakfast is continental with some lovely hams and cheeses, the latte was amazing so nice. RESTAURANT The food at the hotel was so nice, be aware that the Pizzas are massive so much so that we left the crusts and felt a little bad till we saw most people doing the same. The children’s portion were of a great size, not to daunting for a child and my daughter loved the lasagne. The staff were lovely and work so hard and not once did I see them standing around. A nice touch when you arrive at the restaurant is a glass of cava. A point to note though, the restaurant is very popular with the locals (which is a good sign) so if you want to eat make sure you book a table to avoid disappointment. AREA The hotel is located near to a main road, there is a Lidl within walking distance. Getting around is easy, the buses are clean, regular and inexpensive, the driver we had was very helpful. The ferry taxis were inexpensive also but you have to time it right, check the timetable. There’s is a stop 10 min walk,Cisano and a little tip if you get your tickets from the tobacco shop they are cheaper than on the ferry. Bardolino is about a 20 mins along the lake, it’s a lovely walk but the cyclist act like they own the route weaving in and out, ringing their bells at us. (Before any comments are made, I am a cyclist myself but would never rush or cut up pedestrians) Maybe there should be a cycle lane marked on one side of the route for safety for all. Lazise is beautiful, very long walk which we did not realise but worth it. Garda is again beautiful, and a restaurant near the ferry stop does the most amazing Bruschetta. Will return for sure.

Just stayed here for a week, the hotel was spotless and had a lot of lovely quirky touches, staff were very helpful and friendly. We used the hotel bikes which were of a good quality and well maintained. Location is a bit out of the main town but this suited us well we enjoyed walking and talking on our nightly walks to the centre. Breakfast was good and the room and surroundings spotless, all continental but plenty of it, good choice and continuously topped up. Pool area was spotless as well.
