Hotel Villa Capri

Very nice (somewhat dated) hotel with a huge and beautiful garden direct located at the lake, for a relaxing holiday. Very friendly staff is taking care for the clients. Hotel is centrally located between Gardone Riviera and Bornico which makes it nice and easy to walk in less than 15 minutes, in the evening to the different (excellent) restaurants.

The rooms at Hotel Villa Capri are attractive and comfortable. We had a view of the lake with a balcony, which was beautiful. Breakfast was excellent, as was the server who brought us lunch. The hotel does not serve dinner. If you bring food into your room, make sure you have your own silverware and/or wine glasses as the staff will not provide them. We were told it is against hotel policy.

I stayed here with my partner in a deluxe for a week. Overall we were delighted with our choice, not top-end luxury, but definitely 'understated quality'. The main pluses were the location - we walked extensively along the road in both directions and didn't see another property that seemed to have the same ratio of lake frontage to hotel size, and certainly not with the depth of frontage to the lake shore, meaning the garden space was extensive with plenty of space for lounging without feeling that you were invading others' space; and the food quality. The only disappointments were that the hotel didn't have a dinner service, and the competition for the few quality loungers by the pool. it wasn't quite as bad as the stories I've read from Costa del Hell, but there was a tendency for people to lay claim with towels and possessions, then disappear for breakfast, or large chunks of the day. Maybe a few more of the cushioned loungers would prevent this, or at least reduce it. Our room was large, and very clean. The bed was a king size with separate mattresses, and though a bit hard for me, my partner loved it. Pillows were good. The bathroom was a fair size with an over-bath shower and shower screen. Toiletries were provided, as were towels for the pool, on top of a daily change of bath sheets. The aircon was adequate, I've certainly known better, and the wifi was similarly sedate rather than urban high-speed, but it was fine for my purposes, and I was able to stream a live football match with only very minor buffering: not much worse than I'd have in the UK. Breakfast was a highlight, with various options for sitting at the lake's edge, or under the canopies by the hotel across the lawn from the lake - still afforded an exquisite view. The food choice was standard for a hotel of this quality, catering to a wide European palate, but it was a full buffet. Maybe a few more places on the tops to leave a tray whilst filling a plate, bowl or cup would help, otherwise balancing skills of which a circus performer wold be proud are helpful. One daily amusement was the toaster - try as we may we never got our bread more tanned than wold have been possible with SPF50 on a cloudy day: we settled for hot, very dry, and crispy. Another coffee machine might also reduce the occasional queue, but overall the long service (7:30-10:15) means that it was never busy, and rarely more than half-a-dozen or so people loading their plates and trays at any one time, The gardens are extensive, though there is some noise from the road, this is not overly intrusive, certainly if you sit in front of the hotel. Planting makes for areas of both direct sun and good shade. The waiter roams the lawn taking orders, and there are more than enough loungers to go around - as I said previously, even better if a few of these were a bit more comfortable. The pool was pleasant, not too big, but there was also direct bathing access into the lake. The bar was open late into th

A wonderful hotel. Both welcoming and friendly with spectacular views and a feeling of laid back luxury. The hotel was immaculately clean. We loved the calm and peaceful environment that encapsulated the whole hotel. We enjoyed the pool area with our children and the amazing breakfasts on the incredible lake side veranda. We thought the staff throughout the whole hotel worked brilliantly as a team. We all had a great time-our children felt welcome and were given kind attention. We will be back!

What a fantastic hotel. Our room was beautiful, overlooking the pool & lake, immaculately clean with lovely fluffy towels and an enormous, comfortable bed. Great shower and clean towels every day. I loved the ‘beach bag’ with pool towels in that had your room number on it - nice touch and very practical. You could access the lake from the garden, just a short ladder climb down. There was a huge choice at breakfast with delicious fresh fruit and pretty much anything you could think of. There were lots of Sun beds on the lawn and a really relaxed atmosphere with plenty of bar staff available for you to order drinks. We had lunch one day on the terrace overlooking the lake which was delicious. They serve snacks until 7.30pm but the town centre is only a 10 minute walk away with plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants for an evening meal. The best bit about this hotel is the staff. They were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Just the right balance between being available but not hovering. Everyone from the reception staff to the restaurant/bar staff were lovely. We had contacted them beforehand about airport transfers which they arranged for us and made restaurant reservations for us while we were there. We will definitely be back!

Great small quality hotel, friendly and helpfull staff, great location directly to the vater front. Our room were clear and nice with a fantastic view directly to the Garda see. Breakfast were outstandig with all that you could wish for.

We had the most wonderful stay at Villa Capri. The hotel has beautiful views of the lake, a luscious garden and is walking distance from restaurants. Rooms are spacious (we had a Junior suite) with balconies and the food and drinks were delish. We would return in a heartbeat. Only two things to recommend: the hotel could use a concierge service and our aircon didn’t work as well as hoped during a very hot week.)

The place is nice, but the way the owner talks to his guests doesn’t correspond to the high standing of the hotel. We were staying one week in this hotel with my husband. At the end of our stay, our daughter came to Gardone staying with friends. One afternoon we asked at the reception, wether our daughter could join us in the garden’s hotel for 2 h. The answer was definitively: »No! ». We were being polite, but the owner spoke with us without courtesy. I guess he is a victim of his success. It’s our unique week of holidays this summer and this made us feel very uncomfortable. We will never ever return to this place and won’t recommand it to our friends.
