Hotel Sportsman

Wonderful location, hotel great, private lakeside beach, can walk/ cycle in both directions. Overall fabulous holiday.

Absolutely fantastic, loved every moment. Hotel cannot be faulted. Service is excellent even down to leaving a beach bag with beach towels! Perfect! A very warm welcome from all staff.

Excellent location with a private beach and trail for cycling running and walking

Very nice hotel right next to Lake Garda with an amazing garden, where you can get your breakfast and dinner (including live music on certain days), and an big pool, which is ideal for swimming some laps. Another big benefit of this hotel is the location. It is away from any big street, so it is rather quiet. And you can walk easily in 20 minutes to Bardolino city center or Garda city center. The walkway is only for bikes and pedestrians, so you do not have to worry about any cars. We really enjoyed our stay and we are planning on staying here again.

Direct access to the sea and very good service.

This is going to be a long list of likes! The location was amazing, just across the pedestrian walkway to the lake beach with loungers and umbrellas, we borrowed the kayaks from the hotel and had a great paddle for a couple of hours one afternoon. Swimming pool was huge and well maintained. Our room had a lake view (no balcony) and it truly felt like we were in a proper beach resort. It was a great size with a good sized bathroom too. Beds very comfortable. Breakfast was vast and good gluten free options available. Staff very attentive, bar area very comfortable and a good lunchtime menu. We didn't eat there in the evening as there was a requirement for long trousers in the restaurant and the menu was a little fixed for slightly choosy teens, but there's a great pizza restaurant within a 2 minute walk.

Excellent hotel right on lakefront. Large rooms (we had balconies and lakeview). Position of hotel is awesome as its away from the road and very quiet. 20 min walk to garda town via lakeside. Own private beach with plenty of chairs! Breakfast is great! Staff are very friendly! All in all the hotel is perfect. We just didnt like the surroundings as it was too crowded and touristy. Its the busiest part of lake garda we have visited (4th year at the lake).

The Sportsman Hotel is a nice, well-kept property in a great location between the towns of Bardolino and Garda. The rooms were sufficient and we had a partial view of the lake which was lovely. The staff were friendly, and the breakfast buffet offered a lot of options including fresh pancakes made by request! Our group (4 adults and 2 kids) enjoyed the private beach and convenience of on-site bar and restaurant. We also loved the free kayak rental provided by the hotel--it was a fun way to explore the lake. It may have just been the time of year we visited, but we only saw one other family with two children during our stay. I'd say that most guests were of retirement age, which sometimes made us self-conscious as our kids drew lots of stares/looks even though they were well-behaved in all of the public settings. We felt out of place letting the kids play in the pool while other guests mostly used the pool for lap swimming, so we mostly spent time at the lake beach. My kids even noticed and commented that they were the only kids there! Again, this may change as it gets later into summer and more families are on holiday. We did not try the hotel restaurant for dinner as it seemed too quiet for our family, but there are other restaurants within walking distance, including a beach bar just next to the hotel. If you are going during busy season and want to take the sunset cruise on the sailboat (that's including with your stay at the hotel), book early as it was already full by the time we arrived.

I enjoyed Chiara as she was extremely helpful in making sure I had all my transfers arranged and extremely helpful. Staff was very friendly and and amazing
