Hotel Villa Katy

A lovely welcome when we arrived. Room very spacious - we stayed in 205 on the second floor. The lower floor has terraces straight onto the pool area which we didn’t want so asked for an upper floor room. The hotel is small, only 14 rooms. We walked into Bardolino on our first night - although a totally flat walk it was 29 degrees with no wind - we’re fit & healthy but it look us 40 mins. Which we thought was too far each night! We were considering taxis but the hotel hire cycles - €10 for the full day or free for half a day. So we cycled in every night after that. It was fab - a lovely gentle ride that took 7 mins. Just locked the bikes up at the Bardolino front - you can’t miss it, there are loads of bikes there. Aldo cycled to Lazise which was lovely too in the opposite direction. You can pick up the ferry to Simione at the local stop Cisano. Pool area is lovely, clean & the owner deliver drinks & snacks to your sunbeds. It was Faragusto festival (15th Aug) whilst we’re were there & the owners did a complementary buffet & drinks at lunch. Dogs are also welcome as there were 3 dogs staying whilst we were there.

Clean, friendly, accommodating. From arrival you feel welcome. The twins and their staff are only too happy to assist with any request. The view of Lake Garda from the terrace is fantastic. Good transport links not to be missed. An absolute hidden gem.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Villa Katy, as all previous reviewers have said the owners & staff are so lovely & will do anything to help. We had a room with a balcony & side view of the lake, room was clean, with a very comfortable bed, plenty storage room, safe, mini bar & an excellent shower. The breakfast was 1st class exceeding the quality & selection of meny 4 star hotels. The selection of restaurants 10 minutes from the hotel in Cisano were excellent & had a lovely atmosphere. We definitely want to return to Lake Garda & this hotel.
