Park Hotel Ville Montefiori

Rat pack soundtrack beautiful views the perfect location is the verandah for breakfast. Dining room is beautiful, staff are lovely . BUT don't go if your not a walker or lack good mobility. You must hire a car because otherwise because of a steep 25 min walk down to the boats and a 45 min back no hotel bus and a lack of taxis getting out of the hotel is a nightmare. Possibly one of the prettiest hotels we have stayed and because we had a car it was perfect but if not a driver find a hotel on the front .

This hotel is a wonderful example of old style Italy, some of the glamour is a little faded now, but the views, the staff, the pool and the food were excellent. We had a marvellous time. Our room was a delux which was spacious and comfortable with a great terrace. The air-conditioning worked well which was a relief as it was very hot. Overall 9/10.

Well first of all, we went 23rd December for Christmas, got there and no one there apart from us, 2 guests in Hotel me and my partner. Came back for a drink in the bar, all the place is shut down, no lights on, no bar open, disgraceful until I told them. Nothing about, no taxis or buse's on Christmas day, waiting for buses for an hour there and back from Salo which was couple mile away, down by the Lake. It said 5 minute walk to the Lake from Hotel, total rubbish. It has a very very long steep hill to walk up and down, not suitable for the less abled. Avoid if you have no transport

Spent a delightful week here . Location for Lake views exceptional You need a car/electric bike to get into Gardonne or Salo etc Taxi is hit and miss and expensive. Food restaurant is stunning and the terrace divine dishes and drinks both very good reasonable price for location . Staff some are so helpful charming and polite , others not so bit brusque. Rooms people have commented on here that rooms are scruffy well I can tell you ours WAS NOT infact the opposite clean well serviced daily and always left immaculate first class housekeeping staff . Ambience This place has a Ambience of 50s Italian charm almost shabby chic it's like being on a film set . Cons desperately needs a shuttle from perhaps Gardonne and Salo say 830 till 1030 and 1700 till 2130 . Happy to pay 5 to 10 euros a time depending on pick up Otherwise car taxi or bike (electric) a must 20 min walk if your fit downhill to ferry terminal 40 if like me your over 65 . I wouldn't/couldn't walk back but if u were fit I'd say 40 mins . Highly recommended will definitely be back .

We booked this hotel through a UK based Travel Agent for our Honeymoon. We were booked in for 10 nights in a Romantic Lake View Room. This was, we were informed, an upgrade from the basic "Classic Room". I suspect that all we paid for, was the same room, with a better view. We stayed for 2 nights and left. I cannot speak for those who could afford the newer rooms which by all accounts from what is shown online, seem quite luxurious. The Romantic Lake View room was not at all "romantic". The view was absolutely stunning but was quite literally the only good thing about the room we stayed in. The room was dated, tired, did not smell clean, I think the smell emanated from the carpets which are garishly old-fashioned. There were exposed and damaged cables in light fittings and the TV. The shutters on the balcony doors were broken so we had absolutely no respite from the glaring sun. There was no shower, just a shower head above the bath taps. The textured wallpaper was damaged in places, and just completely coming off the wall in other places. There was a huge crack in the wall. Ants littered the balcony and the outside furniture was rusty and had no cushions. The balcony doors were so old that they rattled when you opened or closed them. The bathroom was done in black tiles, which made it seem even darker as the window shutter was closed to keep out the glare of the sun. The walls are so thin that when I was in our bathroom, I could hear our neighboring guest using the toilet. Other reviews call this old-Italian charm, it really really isn't. It's a hotel in dire need of refurbishment. I'm all for the old-style décor, our previous hotel in Florence was just that - and it was perfect! This hotel is just tired and in need of some attention. Breakfast was served buffet style and consisted of cereals, yoghurts, pastries, cold meats, breads and your hot option was scrambled egg and bacon. It was not topped up regularly and the lights in there were switched off which meant the far end of the room was dark. Again, the view was outstanding, if you weren't so distracted by the plague of wasps hovering over your food. The outdoor pool was lovely, plenty of beds with cushions, lifeguard on duty for most of the day and a poolside bar with good lunch options and drinks. We spent all day relaxing here and it was peaceful. The hotel evening restaurant was ok. I ordered what was advertised as a salmon pasta and yet I was served prawns. I was not asked about this, nor did anyone explain this to me when my meal was served. The hotel is situated on a hill-side position overlooking the lake. Please do not underestimate the gradient of the hill. We noticed that many guests had cars and we soon realised why. The hill is incredibly, incredibly steep and at night, it is very poorly lit. I did not feel safe walking back to the hotel from the lake-front. It is a 15 minute walk, down the hill and along a main road to get to the nearest set of restaurants. It wil

Stunning views but do you like old Italian style, steps and a very steep hill. The hotel is old and very tired with a view they are grander than they really are. Rooms are tired and not well maintained. However, you might never reach the rooms as there are multiple steep steps to overcome with heavy suitcases and no help. It might be the views cancel these problems but there are alternatives

As we drove up to the hotel, it was like a postcard, it’s stunning from every angle. We had a suite at the highest point of the hotel and the view was breathtaking. Waking up and looking out of the full height windows over Lake Garda was dream like. The hotel is showing its age and missing sone features but that just added to its charm for us.

Classic hotel with stunning lake and mountains and Mountain View’s There is so much right about this hotel, but you must look past the negatives which I will come to later. This is a unique opportunity to visit a classic Italian hotel that has character and charm in absolute abundance. The rooms are so varied in style I can only comment on our Queen superior with balcony which provided a stunning lake view. The room was clean and spacious but very basic. Unfortunately, others in our large party were not so impressed with the size of their rooms but would return at the drop of a hat. Breakfast was a typical continental affair. service was slow but professional. We only had lunch once which was decent enough. There is a great spa with a heated indoor pool plus a large outdoor pool with plenty of loungers. It's the deepest pool I have ever swam! Now for the negatives. For sure the place is dated, so if you are looking for a modern, chic hotel then VM is not for you. Please be aware that the venue sits at the top of steep hill and only accessible by car should you have mobility issues. Our party of 40+ loved the place so much we plan to return next year. There are so many fantastic restaurants and bars nearby and it's minutes from the beautiful town of Salo. Great venue, location and staff.
