Best Boutique Hotels on Lake Garda
Search the best hotels in Lake Garda
Lake Garda is one of the world’s most beautiful playgrounds for anyone who loves the great outdoors, or simply a room with a view! Long and narrow, the lake is framed by vineyards in the foreground, and the rising Dolomites behind — perfect for all sorts of watersports and mountain adventures. Nestled into this setting are charming resort towns and the spectacular Sirmione peninsula. And these locations are where you'll find Lake Garda’s boutique hotels. There are plenty to choose from, with a great variety of styles from grand palazzo and villa conversions, to traditional pensione, chic B&Bs and guesthouses, and rural farmhouse conversions. There’s certainly some line blurring between what is ‘boutique’ and what is just luxuriously historic and unique, but there are many properties with the personalised finish and detailing that tick most boutique boxes. Browse our pick of the best and start planning your waterside break.
