We were in Italy and we decided on the spur of the moment to check out Lake Garda. We were so impressed with the beauty of this spot on Sirmione. It is the most lovely little place with great shops and restaurants and possibly the most gelato per capita in the world. We really enjoyed walking the village and the... More

Hotel Ideal is located right at the edge of Sirmione. The rooms are quite basic(as in most Italian Hotels) but very clean and the showers are actually a decent size which is good news. The hotel is run by the owner who is an elderly lady with the help of her son. She does not speak English but in a... More

I stayed there with my mom for 6 nights in July 2011 and it was absolutely perfect place for us to stay. To my mind it is the best location in Sirmione: great views, no crowd like in the center near the Castle area but very close to it. Rooms are nothing special but very clean. Pool area is so... More

We stayed here on a short and very enjoyable trip to Lake Garda. We began with a very enjoyable experience, arriving in Sirmione by boat from Desenzano, and walking to the hotel (a pleasant 10-15 mins). The setting of hotel is fantastic, right on the tip of the peninsula, with a panoramic view of the lake, and accross from the... More

Just left this hotel and currently staying in the grand hotel in Verona, and I can honestly say I'm very happy to have left hotel ideal behind. I will admit the hotel is very clean however we had some bad experiences whilst there. Firstly although advertised as having air con in the room we found that it is currently off,... More

We spent a week here in early June 2011 and endorse all that has been said in those previous reviews which judged it excellent .The one bad review amazed us as we found the italian staff to be charming and totally trustworthy and helpful. The other guests were of mixed ages from the oldies like us to a family with... More

Where this hotel is located is gorgeous. It is at the end of the Sirmione peninsula amidst olive trees and looks north over Lake Garda. It is right across the street from the Roman ruins, which are fascinating to explore. It is a very quiet part of Sirmione away from the many tourists. The walk into town takes maybe ten... More

The hotel is the final hotel on the peninsula overlooking Lake Garda in the beautiful old town of Sirmione - you would be hard pushed to find a more stunning location. The roman ruins are close to the hotel and only add to the fantastic position. It is a traditional Italian hotel and we found all the staff to be... More

We stayed at the Hotel Ideal (pronounced id - ee - al apparently!) for 10 nights in August and had a wonderful time. The location is stunning - set at the very end of the peninsula but still just a pleasant stroll down into the centre of Sirmione. The hotel is immaculate throughout and although our room wasn't that big... More
