Park Hotel Casimiro

"Absolutely stunning views of Lake Garder looking across to Gardone Riviera. Hotel perfect chilled atmosphere, great food &!staff. Bonus ferry port minutes walk from hotel, making exploring the lake towns very accessible. Would highly recommended this gem for the perfect relaxing holiday."

"Just got back from Casimiro hotel. We visited as a package holiday so no car transport. Everything about this hotel is fantastic. Loved it. We were upgraded to a fitness room opposite the adult pool. This area is quiet and the views of lake amazing. The staff are so friendly and this is ALL staff whatever job they do- courteous and polite. The food is top class although the hot food could have been hotter. Plenty of variety at both evening and breakfast and plenty of it. Something for everyone’s taste, and I’m fussy. Their chips/ French fries for lunch snack are delicious. It is a remote hotel being on the shore so you do have to get the ferry to places but the port is right there by the hotel. Ticket lady very helpful. Senior prices mon-fri., but not Salo, only short trip. There is only one plug socket in the room so a double adapter would be handy, also no kettle- we took our own. Beware the fridge is on the wall like a bathroom cabinet. People we spoke to had a standard room which was opposite the tunnel. This did not have any view only a brick wall, not to everyone’s liking but they didn’t mind. They also walked to Salo, about an hour, so walkable. We would highly recommend this hotel for peace and quiet, good food and views to die for. This is when children were back at school so many adults were there for our stay. We would recommend the trip by fast ferry to Monte Baldo but beware of queues. The fast track( online ticket ) and actual purchased ticket queue is one, to get on the gondola. Ticket office to the right of queue, not in the building. We advise to get online tickets before you go. Views at the top again are amazing. Can see right over to the Dolomites. Lots of places to eat up there. Malcesine looks a nice place to look round but didn’t have time as ferry service restricting. Would need two days to do both town and mountain, unless no queue as we queued for hour and a half for mountain. We did the Venice excursion which was a long day but worth it, 8.10 am leave and back at 8.45 pm. The hotel will give you a packed breakfast if you order one the day before. Very informative guide although he did say you can’t holiday in Venice and our daughter did some 11 years ago and we saw people with cases. So not sure about that info. We found a little cafe down a side alley to eat which was reasonably priced. So head for them or get ripped off. We thought the gifts were very reasonably priced. Lots of glass and masks. Logoon boat trip which again was informative and you saw Venice from a different angle. Worth it. Prices for food drink etc in Italy on par with the UK so no shock there. Visited Heller gardens. Only a small place but unusual. Not such a steep climb as you may read from others. Worth it. Didn’t feel at all unsafe during the day where we went. Never went further than hotel at night so can’t vouch for after dark. So if you’re thinking of going here, go and enjoy your holiday. It’s a fantastic place."

"I stayed at the Park Hotel Casimiro for a week and it was a really well run hotel in a quiet and tranquil setting. I'd seen comments about the rooms being small but my room in the annexe by the traffic barrier (rooms 4000+) was spacious with ample storage and a really comfortable bed. It is linked to the main hotel with a tunnel if you want to avoid rain. No sea view but you can sit at the amazing bar or anywhere in the grounds for a beautiful view across the bay opposite the Grand Hotel in Gardone Riviera. The restaurant was great - generous breakfast choices with pots of fresh coffee or freshly made cups brought to your table. Dinner was a bit hit and miss, ranging from just ok to really delicious, but I never went hungry. If you're half board you will only pay for your drinks. The hotel is lucky to have friendly and hard working staff in the restaurant who make an effort to look after the guests. The hotel is a little isolated compared to the bigger towns but it is just a 2 minute walk to the Portese port stop where the you can get a ferry to Salo to connect with the north of the lake, or go directly to the south via Garda. There is also a bike hire place in the port and the Gran Fausto restaurant is lovely for lunch with great views across the bay. I'd definitely consider returning!"
