The Hotel is on the lakeside promenade about mid way between Garda and Bardolino. The food is excellent, the staff friendly and helpful, the rooms comfortable, and the whole hotel clean and tidy. We were lucky and had a room with balcony at the front with a stunning view of the lake, and could have sat there all day and... more

My wife and I stayed at The Sportsman for the first week of September 2008, and can highly recommend it; we wished we’d stayed longer. The hotel is equidistant from Garda Town and Bardolino, about a 20 min stroll along the lake front promenade to either town. The Thomsons/Crystal coach from Verona Airport takes approx 45 minutes and Sportsman is... more

Don’t judge from the cover. This hotel does not look much from the outside, but believe me this hotel is everything you want for a relaxing holiday. We stayed for 1 week in June 2008, the weather was hot and humid. The hotel was always a pleasant cool place. We had a lake view on the 2nd floor, some rooms... more

Special note must go to the young bar man whose name I did not catch but who always had a smile and courteous manner.... more

There are a few rooms on first and second floors with balconies contrary to what was stated in a previous review. The rooms are well furnished and spotlessly clean. Bathrobes and towels for the pool are... more

Returned yesterday, weather was hot, hot, hot. The hotel doesnt look like much from outside and it was a bit disappointing that very few rooms have balconies (non with a lake view). We paid extra for a lake view but got put in a room on the side with a 'partial' lake view, we complained to reception to be told... more

We stayed at the Sportsman Hotel, Bardolino. The hotel looks rather strange from the outside - pink stucco and blue & yellow paintwork, but inside it is a lovely hotel - very clean and well-looked after.It sits right on the lake. Breakfast is served at the Villa next door, in a beautiful garden setting. The hotel also boasts a very... more

This hotel is excellent with lovely clean rooms, wonderful food and staff from the cleaners to the top of management who make you feel so welcome. We must give a special thank you to staff from the restaurant, especially Michela who... more
