This is a lovely area and we would agree with most of the plaudits given to this hotel. We do however have some sympathy with those who - for various reasons - were not satisfied with their visit. Room allocation for example is very risky indeed. We paid for a "lake view" and were given a room in an annex... More

Our two week honeymoon at the Hotel Maximilian (Malcesine) in June 2012 was spectacular! I had read reviews on here before booking and many had commented that, although it was their honeymoon they hadn't been upgraded, so we weren't expecting anything. Imagine our surprise as we're led up the spiral staircase, follow it around and in to the first door... More

We went to Malcesine to get married and stayed at hotel Maximilian. The hotel was beautiful and very clean. We got an instant upgrade because we were getting married! Staff were excellent the entire holiday. They also gave us a bottle of wine on the on the day of our wedding, which was very kind. The food was out of... More

We have just returned from 10 days half board in this hotel and it unfortunately it did not meet our expectations. We booked this hotel through our travel agent who advised us that it was their best and one of the nicest hotels in the locality and would be ideal as our choice for honeymoon. We took their advice and... More

We stayed for one week, on a half board basis. The hotel is situated beautifully overlooking the lake. Our room was spotlessly clean, well serviced and had a balcony overlooking the garden and the lake. It's a lovely lake-side walk, about 20-25 mins, into Malcesine which is very picturesque. Ice cream from Dolce Vita is a must. The food was... More

Huge windows opening onto a balcony with two cane chairs & coffee table. The bed was made up of two singles pushed together with a duvet for each bed. We like a firm... More

Aug 2012; 2 weeks stay; this is a four star hotel on half-board basis. We were myself, wife and 12 yo daughter. The hotel siting is just wonderful with the dining & breakfast areas and the majority of rooms overlooking the bay of Val di Sogno, a hive of activity thanks to the Stickl school of sailing operating towards the...

I so wanted to love this hotel as we were celebrating our ruby wedding.We paid for a room upgrade and were not disappointed,we had a fantastic view of the lake from our terrace.The rooms are average with little in the way of luxury.We found that although they were clean the housekeeping was not good and our floor was swept once...

We have just returned from a lovely break in the Maximilian and am very pleased that I did not read the review dated 18 August composed by Leiiprechaun. Please do not be deterred from visiting this delightful hotel by reading those comments. We were on a package, in the annex and it was outstanding. We were comfortable,had an uninterrupted view...
