Stunning views
Pros:

We had a fantastic stay at this charming hotel, perfectly located just steps from the Monte Baldo cable car — an ideal base for exploring beautiful Malcesine. My room was simple yet very comfortable, with a balcony that opened up to stunning views of the castle, mountains, and lake. It was the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the surroundings. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Breakfast each morning was generous and delicious — we especially loved the fresh bread, cakes, and the big hunk of parmesan cheese! My family and I had a truly lovely experience and would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Malcesine.

A wonderful hotel right next to the beautiful Malcesine
Pros:

We loved our stay here in Malcesine! It is a lovely hotel with all the facilities you would need for your stay. We had a mountain view room with a balcony that looked up to Monte Baldo. The location is fantastic, right next to the cable car and just a few minutes walk into the centre of Malcesine with lots of restaurants and bars. The bus stop and ferry are close by to allow you to visit other areas on Lake Garda. The breakfast was fantastic too! Would recommend 😊

Cons:

All was good.

Pros:

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt im Eco Hotel Ariston!
Das Personal ist ausgesprochen freundlich und aufmerksam – man fühlt sich sofort willkommen.
Das Frühstück ist einfach zauberhaft: frische, leckere Auswahl in einem wirklich schönen Garten, mitten im lebhaften Trubel von Malcesine – eine kleine Oase.

Ja, wie viele vor uns schon erwähnt haben, sind die Zimmer etwas hellhörig. Aber ganz ehrlich: Wer verbringt schon den ganzen Tag im Hotel? 🤣
Der Gardasee bietet so viel, dass man sowieso unterwegs ist!
Besonders empfehlen können wir:
• einen Ausflug nach Limone und Riva del Garda,
• eine Bootstour auf dem See,
• die Seilbahn („Stehgondel“) auf den Monte Baldo – ein unvergessliches Erlebnis,
• und natürlich die beeindruckende Madonna della Corona.

Unser Fazit: Einfach ein schönes Hotel, perfekt für einen entspannten Urlaub am Gardasee! Liebe Grüße ans ganze Personal Andreas und Heike

Ein sehr nettes Hotel mit allem was man braucht
Pros:

Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen. Gegen Aufpreis ist ein eigener Parkplatz zu haben. Das Personal ist extrem freundlich und bemüht. Die Lage ist ausgezeichnet. Alles ist innerhalb des Ortes zu Fuß erreichbar. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut, tlw mit regionalen Zutaten. Es kann auch im liebevoll gepflegten Garten eingenommen werden.
