On a narrow peninsula protruding into Lake Garda, Sirmione is a wonderful town famed for its multi-turreted castle, Roman remains and hot springs.
The 13th-century lakeside castle makes quite an impressive sight as you cross its drawbridge to enter the old town beyond. From its walls there are lovely views of red-roofed buildings towards the trees hiding the ruins of a huge villa that belonged to 1st-century BC Roman poet Catullus. Part of the complex included baths featuring the thermal waters, and the town still has a spa today on the opposite side of the promontory.
Nearby is the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore with its 15th-century frescoes, and the surrounding narrow, cobbled streets are home to stone buildings and several Sirmione hotels on Lake Garda. The majority of hotels are mid-range, but there are still a few 4 and 5-star hotels in Sirmione to choose from.
Booking.com also has lots of accommodations by the lake in the newer part of town, and its Lugana Vecchia area has a UNESCO World Heritage-listed prehistoric site.
To the west of Sirmione is the lakefront town of Desenzano del Garda, while to the east is Peschiera del Garda, close to the Gardaland and Canevaworld theme parks. The nearest airport is Verona Catullo Airport to the southeast.

A cute town, but a bit crowded with tourists in some areas. The beaches were great, with beautiful, warm water large rocks extending out into the lake that you can sit or stand on out in the water. Even in high tourist season, the beaches didn't feel crowded. Food was great.

Sirmione is amazing little place, and the Old City is absolutley beautiful. Numerous restaurants and cafes with wonderful food and drinks are on every corner. Lake and beaches are within walking distance. Gardaland, Movie Land and Aqua Park are 20 minutes away from Sirmione. Getting around Sirmione either by car, bike or walking is extremely easy. Other places such as Pascheria del Gards, Lazise, Bardolino, etc. are withi 10-20 minute drives.

Grotto of Catullus and everything about the Historic Center, including lots of benches for a little rest, family oriented nature of this little village and fabulous views in every direction make Sirmione a truly exceptional destination. Italian taste and flair are everywhere in evidence. (But what is it with the black on black fashion sense here and in Venice? There are other colors on the spectrum, folks!)

“This place is so beautiful. It is on the point of Sirmione near the ruins. The rooms are very updated, the balconies are lovely, the views are gorgeous. We loved the pool and the fact that we could go back and use it on the day we checked out after lunch. Food at the restaurant was very good, although we didn't have breakfast. Really wonderful.”
“If I could give this location score of 11 I would!
Giulia is amazing and most hospitable, the rooms are large, well equipped and clean. The location is GREAT - just outside of Sirmione (6 min drive from the old city) and allows you to quickly exit to major highways for trips. The value for money is amazing!!!”
