Hotel in SirmioneGarda Hotel San Vigilio Golf
A hotel in Sirmione away from the traffic of the peninsula
Sirmione is one of the most visited spots on Lake Garda, and that shows in the traffic and the difficulty of parking, particularly from June to September. Garda Hotel San Vigilio Golf stands minutes from the peninsula, in Pozzolengo, within 110 hectares of parkland with hotel, spa, restaurant and golf course. A hotel in Sirmione for guests who want to see the town at their own pace and sleep in silence.
Close to Sirmione without the queues of the peninsula
Anyone looking for a hotel in Sirmione soon runs into the geography of the place: the peninsula is narrow, traffic is restricted and parking spaces are counted. Staying just outside, on the moraine hills, changes the logistics of a holiday completely. The Grottoes of Catullus, the Scaliger Castle and the old town remain a few minutes away by car.
The resort grew up around a 12th century Benedictine Abbey, the historic heart of a park spread across fairways, natural ponds and mature planting. The contrast with a crowded alleyway in the old town in August is obvious the moment you drive in.
Desenzano del Garda-Sirmione station, served by Frecciarossa and Intercity trains on the Milan to Venice line, is around fifteen minutes away, and the motorway exit on the A4 is close by. Convenient for guests arriving without a car and for anyone planning a day trip to Verona or Milan.
It is why many guests, having tried a hotel in Sirmione in a central position, choose to move a few kilometres out on their next visit.
Rooms and suites, from Comfort to Gran Suite
The Comfort rooms are the understated, elegant option. The Superior rooms overlook the Abbey's inner garden, the Superior rooms with private patio occupy the quieter annexe and have their own outdoor space, and the Deluxe rooms with terrace look out over the greens.
Larger again are the Prestige Duplex rooms, with a sitting area and open mezzanine dividing the space in two, and the Suites of around 50 square metres, the largest rooms in the hotel, with two bathrooms and capacity for up to three adults or a family of four.
For longer stays the resort also offers apartments from studios to four-room units, with equipped kitchens and their own entrance onto the park. That is something a hotel in Sirmione rarely sets alongside conventional bedrooms.
Every stay includes access to the spa, a twenty per cent discount on green fees, the garage and Wi-Fi throughout the property. Facilities that central properties almost always charge for, where they exist at all.
Sirmione, the thermal baths and the rest of the lake
From here the peninsula with the Grottoes of Catullus, the Scaliger Castle and the celebrated thermal baths is a few minutes away, and just beyond lies the centre of Desenzano del Garda with its old harbour and Roman Villa. Within half an hour sit Gardaland, Parco Sigurta, the villages of Castellaro Lagusello and Borghetto sul Mincio and the Lugana wine cellars. Verona is around thirty-five minutes away by car.
