This medium-sized resort literally sits upon Lake Garda, on the peninsula of Sirmio and in the charming center of the town of Sirmione. Despite eclectic and slightly dated decor, the hotel has a welcoming atmosphere, a lobby replete with couches, and a small outdoor lounge area with a good number of sunbeds. The emphasis here is on relaxation, not on aesthetics. The property’s ideal location in the town center makes for easy access to shops, bars, and restaurants. Guests should note that it is necessary to notify the hotel in the event of renting a car, since town police require notification of any local traffic entering Piazza Castello.

Scene
Simple charms of a waterfront establishment
The 100-room Hotel Sirmione has aesthetic touches reminiscent of European seaside establishments of the early 20th century. There are plenty of stuffed settees in the lobby, with floor-to-ceiling windows shedding lots of light on the common areas. The property is almost crowded with places to sit and relax in or near the sun. Overall the decor is eclectic and a little dated, while the atmosphere is casual. The guests are mainly a mix of Italians and European tourists interested in exploring the cultural and historic offerings of the region.
Location
Right on the corner of the old town in Piazza Castello, perfectly placed for exploring Sirmione's cobbled streets
Hotel Sirmione is located in the area’s old town center, on the shores of Lake Garda. The property is next to a bridge that connects the tip of Sirmione to the rest of the peninsular outcropping that constitutes this commune in the Lombardian province of Brescia. Scaliger Castle, a 13th-century fort and popular tourist attraction, is a minute away by foot. Sirmio is accessible via lake ferry as well as via a 20-minute bus ride from the train station of Desenzano.
Rooms
Some refurbished rooms with simple, minimal decor; some spaces more dated
Some of the rooms at Hotel Sirmione have been redecorated, featuring light wood floors and contemporary textiles in neutral tones. Some spaces have not been renovated, and still have carpets that look like they haven't been changed for a couple of decades. Beds generally receive favorable reviews, and the rooms are reportedly clean, though on the small side. Guests have noted that rooms overlooking the reception and Piazza Castello can receive a considerable amount of noise from local traffic and town comings and goings. Some have also found that the rooms, which lack temperature control, can be quite warm.
Features
A spa with an outdoor and indoor saline pool as well as a thermal pool; array of treatments also offered
Breakfast is served in a room with an outdoor veranda overlooking the lake. The thermal and wellness area has been completely redone in blonde wood, light tiles, and '60s-style Danish design white reclining chairs, while other parts of the spa are slightly more clinical in appearance. A wide range of treatments include hydro-massage and foot reflexology. There's an outdoor pool overlooking the lake, as well as a hot tub, sauna, and variety of designated relaxation areas. The on-site eatery, Restaurant Dei Poeti, receives generally positive reviews from visitors. Bar Brezza has lovely views of the lake.
