Stayed at the Val di Sogno for 7 days. Treasure of a hotel, staff friendly and helpful (many languages spoken). A small (38 rooms) family-run hotel. What a location! Rooms (all with balconies) directly overlooking the lake, in which you can swim - no intervening road. Private beach, lovely gardens with more than enough sun loungers for everyone. Outdoor pool, tennis available at the adjacent hotel. Walk along lakeside promenade into Malcesine takes around 20 minutes. Parking free and underground parking possible. Buses nearby and frequent. Boat trips from port in Malcesine.

Guests mainly German, but Italian, English and Dutch there too.
Many guests return. Good food. Bed, breakfast and evening meal is a convenient and a good deal. Food is fine, although wine a little pricey - but that is probably general in Italy. Local supermarket has similar wine from 3 euros a bottle.

No complaints, we had a most enjoyable holiday.

This hotel has the most amazing views of Lake Garda, along with many others, but this one is directly on the lakesideand looks straight down the lake. Whilst not luxurious it is more than comfortable. And in September it was wondefully peaceful. The staff are very friendly and coped with our lack of Italian graciously. The food whilst not being 5* was very varied , interesting and managed to offer food that would suit a picky eater and some unusual offerings as well.
Malcesine is an interesting little town and this is the place to be if you want to go up Mount Baldo, great trip.
This was our second visit to the hotel.

We stayed in Hotel Val di Sogno for 4 days end of July and had a very good holiday. The staff is very friendly and speak a lot of languages. We had a very spacious superior room under the top-floor, no design, but clean. The airco didn't work when we arrived, but the staff fixed it in no time. The pool is clean and nicely integrated in the garden, also good access to the private beach, fantastic views from the hotel. The food was good, although not consistently of the same level. The drinks are also rather expensive, but that's probably the case in this part of Italy. The dinner timing is only between 7h30 and 8h30 PM, we would have liked to have a dinner possibility until 9h00. A relaxing and good experience...

The hotel is set in beautiful gardens overlooking the lake, lovely pool area, nice restaurant and bar area and the staff are great nothing is too much trouble for them. Everything is spotless - with clean towels and bedding daily. The one thing that doesn't match up to the 4* rating is the rooms are very old fashioned and dated. You must request a lake view just for the wonderful setting it has however some rooms were slightly smaller than others and they were all double rooms.

If you want to walk into the resort of an evening it is fine but coming back later on as mentiond in a previous note it is abit of hike back - would suggest you jump a taxi on the return journey for the sake of 10 euros.

Overall it is lovely hotel,the rooms just modernising - the food in the restaurant is lovely as well but my only gripe is having to choose my food while eating breakfast rather than later that evening.
