As a family, we did something this year we have never done before, returned to the same destination, and the same hotel, for the second year in a row. Last year we stayed at the Florida Residence with our three children (now 17,14 & 4), and all agreed it was by far the best family holiday we had ever had.....and... more

Lovely hotel in a truly beautiful setting. The apartment was great with wonderful views over the lake. My two young children loved the pool and the gardens. Our room was exceptionally clean, and the pool and grounds were beautiful. The fifteen minute walk into Gardone for the restaurants was just right with two young children. We only spent three nights... more

We found this hotel via TripAdvisor recommendation and it didn't disappoint. The Cipani family, who live in the top floor, take a traditional approach to hospitality - not only running an impeccable operation, but also taking a wider interest in their guests' well-being and needs. This included personalized restaurant recommendations, offers of a ride into a town, help organizing bus... more

We had a suite overlooking the lake. It was spacious and comfortable with our own fridge and terrace. The pool was a joy and we had three lovely days there. The owner recommended the Casino for a meal and it exceeded expectations. We were given 20% discount voucher for ferry trips and wished we'd picked them up on day one.... more

The real reason this is the most wonderful place to stay is Dr Gianmario Cipani. He couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. In the afternoon I would ask him for a restaurant recommendation for that evening and each one was amazing. The next day he would ask "how did you like the restaurant last night" and after I had... more

I believe Florida Residence to be one of the most beautiful spots on Lake Garda. The residence seems to be built in it's own paradise. There are mature well kept gardens, the secluded surroundings and the peaceful enviroment offer a wonderful relaxed stay, it is possible to totally relax around the pool area. The Management and staff are friendly, helpfull... more

I worked in this area in my twenties and knew the Florida Residence then and always wanted to come back as I had such good memories. Well, we weren't disappointed. The Residence itself has been upgraded and has lovely spacious and comfortable rooms with the most amazing views over the lake. We were made so welcome by the Cipani family,... more

We chose this on the basis of the effusive recommendations on Tripadvisor and were really disappointed. We stayed here a week and travelled a lot around Lake Garda. The Florida Residences are very noisy (all the time as it is above a very busy main road) which we disliked and frankly there are lots of other places either in this... more

My boyfriend and I went to the Florida Residence in Gardone Riviera in June this year, and it was out of this world. I had been 15 years before, when I was a teenager, and I was wondering whether it would still be as lovely as I remembered. It was! Mr Cipani, his family, and his staff are wonderful. They... more
