Hotel Olivi  

Lovely, friendly staff and despite practising key Italian phrases parrot fashion, we need not have worried as they all spoke enough English for us not to worry at all. The free car park on site was a God send as it is a very busy place and the short drive across the draw bridge through the pedestrianised streets was no problem for patient drivers despite warnings from other travellers- just check in with the police at the draw bridge, follow the one way signs and bide by the two/three sets of simple traffic lights (don't forget to turn your engine off when on red so you don't choke the pedestrians). The views from the bedrooms are fabulous, the swimming pool and facilties great for relaxing and the hotel itself in a quiet spot a very short stroll away from the busy shops and restaurants with no through traffic. Room service was very excellent. Our rooms were spacious and spotless; bed was very comfprtable. By the way, we had a free upgrade on arrival to their best suites. They spoilt us!

Whilst we loved the hotel and would be happy to stay again, it is up a very short incline with steps up to the reception so perhaps those who have mobility problems might prefer a hotel that is not. I must admit, I did not check whether it had a ramp or not.

Location fantastic, lovely room. On Honeymoon and Hotel provided great greating. Breakfast was exceptional.

The staff at Hotel Olivi were exceptional. The complimentary tea and biscuits served at 5pm was a wonderful treat when sunbathing by the pool. Staff would come round at night and offer complimentary sweets as a little 'good night' with regards, which was also a great touch. The breakfast buffet had a vast array of choice, even including a large selection of products for those with a wheat and gluten intolerance. Perfect location, the Roman ruins was only a 5 minute walk away, with the thermal baths and spa a stones throw from the hotel.

Overall quite a nice hotel. Breakfast quite good. Good location for the lake and the 'old town' of Simione. Pool area lovely. Parking OK (once you get thru).

Reduced price for out-of-season was OK...not sure I'd like to have paid the 'full' price though. Access to the hotel is tortuous through the mini streets of Simione. Hotel should warn about that...especially as access thru the town is prohibited during the day at weekends. Could be a nightmare then to get bags thru to the hotel....you may have to wait till 7 pm to get clearance but outside parking is not easy either. Rooms nicely finished but somewhat spartan.

the atmosphere is perfect.You feel yourself like in a big family in a large comfortable house. The staff do their best you to forget everything and to think only about rest.When you return home you dream about come back again.Great thanks to the Staff; to the Reception; and to everybody who made our rest wonderfool

the internet is not good.

Nice swimming pool and good breakfast.

Beautiful views of Lake Garda from our balcony; spacious room and bathroom; lovely pool; good breakfast and conveniently located in Sirmione. Staff are very friendly and efficient.

Very nice hotel with an excellent view over the Garda Lake. Kind and helpful hotel staff.

Wonderful setting and service.

It can be difficult to access through Sirmione during the day as entry is restricted (apart from on your first day!

Having a room with a decent balcony and a great view of the lake. Excellent breakfast Also the tea served at 5pm by the pool.

Goo service by hotel staff

everything was ok

Locatin as it was close to all the town attractions and restaurants. We used it as a base and toured round the lake and the surrounding cities during the day.

I was dissapointed even when I knew that Hotel accepted pets, but did not expect to see the resident german shepard dog bellonging to the owners roaming in the restaurant and the pool area at all hours this put me off.

The pool-area is great, you get a fresh towel every day. The breakfast is really very good and varied, we ate outside every morning. Everything is in good shape, even a bit stylish.

The room and the shower where very small. The hotel is expensive for what you get. But I'am afraid this is typical for all hotels in this region.
