The 39-room Hotel Eden Garda is a mid-range, family-run hotel set in a residential neighborhood on the outskirts of Garda. It's a 15- to 20-minute walk downhill into town and to the banks of Lake Garda, and most choose the free shuttle service for the return journey. Guest rooms are bright, contemporary, and clean; all open to balconies or terraces, though some overlook the parking area. An outside pool makes for a pleasant place to cool off, while the rooftop whirlpool tub offers superb lake views. Food is excellent and dinner is a particularly good value, with free wine. Overall this a great pick for the price, though for better lake views consider the Hotel Excelsior le Terrazze.

The Poiano Resort Hotel is a three-pearl property situated in a beautiful countryside setting above Lake Garda, a five-minute drive from the village of Garda. Its 120 rooms all offer a balcony or terrace -- and some have spectacular views of the lake and countryside -- but old blond furniture is dated, as are the color palettes and accents. Half-board rates include breakfast and dinner, and there are two bars in addition to the restaurant. Tennis, archery, volleyball, and soccer are on offer, and there's a lovely spa as well as a huge outdoor pool. The conference center accommodates business or social events, but Wi-Fi costs extra in rooms. Travelers without children could check out Hotel Excelsior le Terrazze, where rooms are more modern and prices are similar.
