The Garda Village is a basic hotel that can be a good jumping-off point for exploring the area around Lake Garda (a car is recommended). This property is comprised of individual mobile homes and bungalows, spread out over grounds set with small trees. Rooms are basic and decor is dated, but they do have kitchenettes and small flat-screen TVs (and some bungalows are more modern than others). There is an outdoor pool, small beach, tennis courts, and windsurfing facilities all on-site but there is a fee for Wi-Fi and the location isn't accessible by public transportation.
Scene
Family-friendly property of individual mobile homes and bungalows
Mobile homes and stucco, terra-cotta roofed bungalows are set among a grove of small trees at the Garda Village. Families with children, drawn by outdoor play spaces and affordable prices, are frequent visitors here. The property has the feel and aesthetic of camping, with slightly more frills.
Location
Directly on Lake Garda, 20-minute walk to Colombare, 45 minutes on foot to Sirmione town center
The Garda Village is adjacent to Lake Garda, the largest lake in Italy. It is situated in a residential area on the outskirts of the town of Sirmione, surrounded by farmland and small town homes. To access the historical town center of Sirmione, a car is necessary (about 10 minutes). The nearest available commercial amenities (besides the on-site restaurant and grocery store) are in the small town of Colombare, which is about a 20-minute walk. Guests have noted that those with limited mobility, including small children, will likely prefer to have a car here, as taxis are available but on the expensive side.
Rooms
Basic bungalows with an institutional feel
Rooms at the Garda Village have dull jewel tones, wood laminate, and linoleum. These are not luxurious bungalows and mobile homes, but they do have small kitchenettes. Small stall showers are wedged into tiled bathrooms directly next to toilets and bidets. While the rooms include a small flat-screen TV, it is sometimes inconveniently placed (wall mounted in the kitchenette, for example). Many guests have noted that the A/C does not always work and that it is placed only in one of the rooms. Bungalows do have a small terrace that allows for eating and lounging outdoors.
Features
Pool, on-site supermarket, and mini-golf
The pool here is a main draw in the summer months and can get crowded, especially with kids and teenagers. There is an on-site supermarket with a limited selection of fresh produce. The on-site restaurant gets average reviews from guests, though many appreciate that they do takeout food. There is nightly entertainment in the on-site disco, mainly geared towards teenagers; guests may want to be aware that this can occasionally be loud in the evenings.
