Pros
- Pretty lakeside setting
- Within easy reach of several sights and the historic town center
- All rooms have balconies, many with lake views
- A lovely sundeck overlooks the lake
- Restaurant serves lunch and dinner, while breakfast is served outdoors
- Free Wi-Fi and parking

- There is no on-site fitness center or spa
- Very little nightlife can be found in the immediate area
Bottom Line
This family-run property perhaps relies on the term "rustic charm" a bit too heavily. Though the property's grounds and lakeside setting are quaint and lovely, features are few and those that do exist are dated; rooms have drab decor, the sundeck has old lounge chairs, and the restaurant decor feels tired. Nonetheless, the location -- within walking distance of several sights and close to the historic town center -- is a highlight.

Scene
Small, family-run lakeside property attracts families and couples
Fifty-six rooms in a candy-pink building are anchored by an eclectically-decorated lobby, a well-manicured garden in the traditional Italian villa style, and a sundeck overlooking Lake Garda. Frequented by families and couples in large part, the hotel is a quaint and intimate (read: somewhat drab and dated_ respite from the sometimes bustling streets of touristy downtown Sirmio. Guests have noted that the clientele tends to be on the older side.
Location
Near the town's historic center and 35 minutes by car from the Verona airport
The property is located on Lake Garda, on the tip of the peninsula of Sirmione, a few minutes walk from Scaliger Castle and near the historic center of town. Nearby golfing options abound and taxi transportation from Verona can be arranged by the hotel for a fee, as can boat tours of Lake Garda.
Rooms
Small rooms have quaint, verging on tired, decor.
Bright checkered and floral textiles adorn some rooms outfitted in charming Italian countryside style. Other rooms have more dated looks, with worn comforters and small bathrooms. All feature small flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and balconies. Some have views of the property’s ornate gardens or Lake Garda.
Features
A large wood-paneled deck area directly on Lake Garda is a highlight.
Outside of free Wi-Fi, guests at Hotel Catullo will experience a back-to-basics kind of stay. The pleasant and modern lakeside sun deck is outfitted with plenty of lounge chairs, and the grounds are spacious enough for a nice stroll. The hotel’s restaurant continues the charming eclecticism found in some rooms, featuring a combination of contemporary design lighting with wall-mounted traditional ceramics and floral fabrics typical of the Italian countryside. It generally receives favorable reviews, though guests have commented that there isn’t a large variety of food offered. (There are plenty of other dining options within an easy walk from the hotel.) There is no on-site fitness center or spa.
