The Grand Hotel Terme is an upscale spa-oriented property with an enviable waterfront location on Lake Garda's Sirmione peninsula. As well as lovely lake views from multiple vantage points, the charming medieval old town is just a few minutes away on foot. While some of the 54 rooms and suites have dated, traditional styling, many have been refreshed with modern decor and most feature lake views. It's the spa provisions, however, that particularly impress, with an extensive list of facilities. Dining is also excellent, though unsurprisingly pricey, and beyond a small gym, fitness facilities are very limited. The property also has outdated furnishings in common areas and lacks a truly luxury-level feel. For a genuinely palatial atmosphere, check out Palace Hotel Villa Cortine, set in beautiful gardens on the other side of old town.

Lake Garda is one of Italy's most celebrated locations for expensive private homes, but there are mid-range three-pearl hotels here too. Hotel Belvedere is a 12-room family-owned property with a cottage-style feel and rooms ranging from an economy option with street views to an apartment-style love nest with a private terrace overlooking the water. Breakfast gets rave reviews and is included with the price of the room. You won't find much in the way of public features -- there's no swimming pool, fitness center, or business center -- but there is a small bar area for cocktails and pretty garden with shaded lounge areas.
