    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    Right on the lakefront with its own beach, and a stroll along the promenade to both Bardolino and Garda - the Hotel Sportsman is hard to beat.

    The hotel’s beautiful lakeside location offers a variety of opportunities for your holiday. It's just a couple of kilometres along the shore to Garda or Bardolino, so you can take advantage of the many shops, cafés, bars, and markets in both towns.

    Because of the hotel's spacious layout, there are many different areas where you can relax and enjoy the lake views - whether down by the beach, under a shaded umbrella in the garden, or, in the comfortable lounge and bar* areas inside.

    Please be aware that the coach will stop on the main road at the top of the driveway. This driveway is a steep downhill walk of no more than 100m.

    Just so you know, a tourist tax is payable locally in cash. This will be approximately €1.50 per person, per night.

    Quality hotel in Excellent location

    We had an excellent stay at the Sportsman Hotel and would definitely recommend . The room was a good size with a balcony and had a modern look with all the storage you need including shoe draws. The food was top notch . Different rooms for breakfast and dinner created the required holiday ambience to start the day and have a superb a la carte in the evening. Great location on the edge of the lake and sat in between Garda town and Bardolino. Just 15 / 20 minute lovely walks to the towns. Staff were very friendly and helpful. All in all a super experience.
    Stunning position and caring ,friendly staff

    This hotel is situated between Garda and Bardolino, within easy walking distance of both, along a pathway running beside the lake. We found the staff very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were fantastic with a wide selection of cereals, fruit, breads and much more. If the weather is conducive to it there are tables in the garden where you can eat breakfast with a view of the lake.Evening meals were interesting -partly self service and partly served by friendly staff. Rooms were comfortable with a choice of different softness/hardness of pillows available. Swimming pool was functional and not heated but immaculately clean. Towels and flip flops are provided. ( Flip flops are charged to your account if you use them)A courtesy bus is available to travel into Bardolino and the local bus passes the hotel too.(Tickets for the local bus can be bought at the Hotel) Lots of eating establishments around the area too.
    Bellissimo

    We absolutely loved our stay at The Sportman Hotel. The staff were all excellent and looked after us so well and with obvious care. The food was fantastic, the room first-class, and the setting idyllic. We are going back soon again for another stay, that's how good it was.
    Thoroughly recommended

    We would not hesitate to stay here again, we stayed for a week and didn’t want to leave. Positives Friendly helpful staff Great location, so easy to get places on foot or bike or trips to Venice and Florence Delicious food with plentiful breakfast Clean Bikes and kayaks to hire Private beach We had a lateral view room which meant we could see the lake and the mountains ( la rocca) Negatives No decaf coffee in the rooms They must lose the plastic straws, not environmentally friendly Top tip Try the pike and tench in the restaurant, yum.
    A perfect place to stay

    We went to celebrate a special wedding anniversary in May. It was absolutely perfect-location, ambiance, staff, food, location-just everything! Staff are super helpful-they really made us feel so welcome, nothing was too much trouble-they all spoke many languages, knew all about the area, best places to visit, how to get there. This hotel is literally slap bang in the middle of the walk to Garda to the left & Bardolino to the right out of the main doors-a lovely leisurely 20 mins to each. Bardolino is the perfect location to catch the ferry to some of the other islands-which we did over a few days. The pool was a plus-and it was immaculate too. The private beach just over the road is a real bonus-the pebbles are brushed every morning! The sun beds are cleaned daily & litter bins emptied.The staff all seemed to really enjoy their jobs & we just couldn't fault any of them.The bar staff make a mean Aperol spritz-the local drink!! There is a lovely Sunday morning market in Bardolino that is well worth a visit-not the usual tat-some beautiful hand made leather & jewellery items to be had, and surrounded by a small marina with some lovely bars & restaurants. We will absolutely be returning here !!
