“A truly genteel 4-star.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 April 2013

Comfortable rooms and beds and charming staff in a park-like setting, excellent restaurants nearby (you must try Agli Angeli); the only reason I didn't mark it 5/5 is that the wifi only worked in the (very comfortable) lobby and bar. I would definitely stay here again!

Dear Guest, thank you very much for the kind review you placed on tripadvisor. I am glad you enjoyed your stay at Villa Sofia. Regarding the wi-fi connection, which is free for all guests, it is difficult to assure complete wi-fi coverage but as the available technology improves, so does our wi-fi coverage.

“Excellent hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2012

Villa Sofia is in a garden and has views over Lake Garda. Our room was comfortable and had a useful balcony. The breakfast was very good. It is a little hard to locate, the one sign on the lakeside road that we saw leads to its back entrance (but there was parking and it is about as convenient as the... More

“Classy hotel, a little far from the center”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2012

Villa Sofia is a nice, clean and classy hotel in Gardone Riviera, Italy. Staff was friendly and breakfast delicious. Rooms were also very clean and balconies elegant (our room had an own balcony with a nice view over the Garda lake). The hotel was little too far from the center of Gardone Riviera and up in the hill. That´s why... More

Villa Sofia is situated close to the original town center, Gardone Sopra, in the most quiet and elegant part of Gardone Riviera, in the middle of a splendid Mediterranean park.

We have just returned from 2 nights at this hotel, we were very happy with our stay. The receptionist was extremely helpful, polite and friendly and went out of her way to speak English to us.

“Classic Style, good service, but a few faults”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2012

The Villa Sofia is a classic building from the early 1900, with its own style. Some people have said the hotel is hard to find, which is partly true, as the street number isn't on any GPS device we had (car + 2 phones...), but once you find the street there are signposts to guide you at least to the...

“Mixed Emotions”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2012

We have just spent a week at The Villa Sofia. After reading so many positive reviews we left feeling a little disappointed. Although the location is convenient for Gardone (being in-between the town by the lake and the town up the hill) We highly recommend the hire of a car to really see what the lake has to offer. There... More

We stayed in Villa Sofia on our car trip round the Garda Lake. The location is just perfect, the hotel is quiet, has own svimming pool, is situated within walking distance to Teatro Vittoriale and some great restaurants and has a parking place big enough for all customers. The room was fine and spacious and the view to the Lake... More

This hotel is half way up the hill (10 min walk each way), between the restaurants and hotels on the lakeside and the livelier bars and restaurants of the upper part of the Gardone Riviera. It suited us as it was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of the waterfront when we wanted to but close enough... More

“Best holiday in a long while”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 June 2012 via mobile

We loved this hotel - beautiful setting overlooking the lake with a stunning pool. Perfect for a relaxing break - breakfast on the terrace everyday, lounger by the pool, ending with dinner in the cute village up the hill. Repeat that for 5 days and we were ready to stay for good!
