Beautiful Italian villa style hotel, little oassis
Pros:

Loved the little patio space outside your room which gave you a sense of private out door space over looking the gardens. The common parts were lovely, book shelves and little nooks to take a coffee. The gardens were beautiful. The free bike hire was excellent and we cycled into town for dinner a couple of nights. The breakfast buffet was superb, the cakes a dream. Its a beautiful old italian villa that was lovely to stay in.

Cons:

The restaurant had a complex menu no explanation of what the meal had in it, just a title for the dish which wasn't inspiring, very little vegetarian options and what we saw on plates as it came out, looked like tiny gourmet portions. So we never ate their even thought the pool side setting is lovely. At lunch you just want a big salad or light bites, not gourmet food. Same with dinner, hence the restaurant was empty they would benefit from a simple side menu of genuine italian lunch and dinner fare along with their gourmet offering. The hotel was on a buy road so make sure you book a room at the back of the hotel. Our room smelt very damp, but that could be a problem with the air conditioning, hard to tell.

Oasis at Lake Garda
Pros:

Very elegant hotel that offers lovely spaces to relax and enjoy a quiet morning & a late afternoon before & after the hustle and bustle of activities at the Lake.
The whole team is gracious and kind.
Breakfast included was delicious, plentiful and presented with care.
Lunch & Dinner are offered and both highly recommended.

Cons:

Not a thing.

Sejur minunat !
Pros:

Proprietatea este superbă, grădinile, cele două piscine și vegetația sunt deosebite . Restaurantul și barul oferă servicii de calitate , si nota 10 pentru tot personalul care se comporta ireproșabil și sunt atenți în orice moment la toate nevoile . Felicitări pentru tot !

Cons:

Camerele sunt slab izolate , mobilier destul de vechi și un miros puternic de umezeală care a rămas inclusiv pe haine.

Good because the hotel is beautiful and have nice gardens.
Pros:

Good breakfast. Good they offer bicicletes for free.

Cons:

The A/C of the room was broken. They told us this was a problem at the whole hotel, and offer us just one fun. During summer the hot and warm is to high. Since that is not a problem from the guess, somo compensation should have been offered.
