Perfect Location & Facilities. Staff are amazing. The pool area has a beautiful view of the lake & plenty of sun beds in the sun & shade if preferred with a bar/restaurant for pool side enjoyment. Private access to the lake for hotel guests & a short walk to Jamaica Beach & the main town make this hotel the perfect location. Quiet & peaceful area. A special thanks to all the staff involved in helping me with a surprise for my partner. All round brilliant stay, if you’re looking for a location in lake garda, Sirmione is the place & Hotel Ideal is the cherry on top

Absolutely fantastic. Greta location, to get to the hotel if you are driving you do have to drive through the historic centre which can be a little narrow and busy, however is not an issue and quite the experience. The hotel is ideally located for exploring, relaxation. The staff were amazing, especially Simone who was great with recommendations and just overall and absolutely delight to talk with.

El personal increíble! Super amigables y amables, en especial Sebastiano. El lugar es super lindo, el hotel excelente, solamente no tenian activado el aire acondicionado en las habitaciones (tal vez por la época-abril) y el agua caliente en la ducha no funcionaba, pero en cuanto lo reportamos, a la mañana siguiente lo repararon. Excelente hotel, definitivamente una muy buena opción para regresar, una atención de primera calidad!

It was an experience driving through the historic centre but once at the hotel, peace was restored. This is an immaculatly clean hotel, the staff are very friendly, efficient and hard working. Our rooms were very lovely, mine was particulay large with a generous balcony, and tge beds very comfortable. We had a plentiful breakfast and had a lovely evenkng meal. The hotel is off the main area which makes it very quiet which was perfect. Because the weather wasnt warm enough we didnt try the pool or beach but both looked lovely. All in all we had a fabulous time at this hotel and would thoroughly recommend.
