Lake Garda's 10 Best B&Bs

Some people love to get lost in a large hotel, but some love the cosy intimacy of a bed and breakfast. B&Bs are great places to meet locals and other travellers, and they’re often very well priced. If you love to stay where everyone knows your name then our Guru’s list of Lake Garda’s 10 best B&Bs is the perfect place for you to start looking for your Lake Garda accommodation.

Instead of grouping their Lake Garda B&B recommendations by place our Gurus have chosen Lake Garda’s best B&Bs for families - those with added child-friendly extras: cots, highchairs, family rooms or adjoining rooms; they’ve chosen Lake Garda’s best B&Bs for couples - with peaceful surroundings, private terraces and spectacular lake views; Lake Garda’s best B&Bs for great value, and Lake Garda’s best B&Bs for those of you looking for idyllic Lake Garda views from the privacy of your own room. Sigh.
