Lakeside retreat in Sirmione
Hotel locations don’t get much more picturesque than this. The Olivi Thermae and Natural Spa perches on the Sirmione peninsula between verdant olive groves and cypress trees, and is just steps from the shores of Lake Garda.
If you’re looking to unwind on your holiday to Lake Garda, look no further. Stretch out on a lounger by the outdoor pool – with its bolt-on hot tub – and get into that book you’ve been meaning to read. You’ll find a poolside bar here, meaning refreshing drinks and snacks are always within easy reach. There’s also a heated pool in the spa, which is home to a sauna, a steam room, sensory showers, and a relaxation area.
When you’re not relaxing at the hotel, there’s plenty to explore in the surrounding area. The historic centre of Sirmione – including its Medieval castle – is less than a 10-minute walk away. Fancy exploring further afield? There’s a bus stop within easy reach, and you’ll find a ferry port in the old town.
The hotel restaurant will keep you fuelled for days exploring Lake Garda. Start the day at the Sala degli Ulivi, which hosts a sprawling breakfast buffet of fresh fruit, bread, pastries, cold meats, and cheeses. Then the Restaurant degli Ulivi offers à la carte Italian dishes for lunch and dinner. During the summer months, you can enjoy your meal out on the lakeview terrace. After your meal, enjoy a drink or two in the lounge bar.
