Have visited many areas of Italy before and have never had such dissapointing food and service. If you are looking for authentic Italian food La Perla is not for you. It felt more like school dinners. My friend and I placed our evening order at breakfast and on three occasions we were not able to have our choice as there was none left! The last meal was really memorable we ordered Tiramisu but there was none left and was offered chocolate mousse and apple baked tart, the chocolate mousse was a swirl of cream sprinkled with chocolate and the apple tart was a hollow pastry case with very little filling. There was no one available to give us advice on choice of wines and the waiters and waitresses had very little time to spend with you as they were so busy. The hotel is generally clean but a little tired looking. The poolside appears larger in the brochure and there was very little space between beds when busy. It is only a short walk to the lakeside and the bus station is near by these were the only good points.

The hotel is very old, but kept up very well and the staff was very nice. The hotel guests are between 50-100 yrs. We are fairly young so more then 3 days wouldn't have been ideal. The location is fabulous. There is so much to do within walking distance.

We enjoyed our stay at La Perla very much. This is our fourth visit to Garda but our first stay at La Perla - compared to the other hotels this is the best. Great location near the town and lake also close to the bus station where we caught a bus to Verona which only costs 8 euros return. We agree with other contributors that Gerardo the Maitre D was very good and Daniella too deserves a mention. Suffice to say we were very impressed and we think that La Perla is certainly well worth another visit.

Lovely Hotel, breakfast very good and a good variety, rooms slightly dated but the location makes up for this.
Pool area is fantastic the largest pool we ever been to comfy sunbeds and small but good bar service.
This was our second visit to this hotel and will return again for sure very soon.
