I have written so many reviews about this beautiful hotel, as we've visited every year for many years, sometimes twice, It is situated in the little village of Nago, which is around 1.5 kilometres uphill from Torbole at the north of Lake Garda, The hotel runs a minibus to Torbole twice per day and once returning in the afternoon in time to enjoy happy hour, However if you are able, the walks to and from Torbole are stunning. There are a few ways you can go, one of which is the Santa Lucia, which is an old Roman Road. It is not that easy underfoot but so worth it, as you have beautiful views all the way The hotel itself is family run and you can clearly see this by the attention to detail and the fact that the owner, Arturo, is always on-hand. Not only on-hand actually but helps in the restaurant and you often see him working behind the bar It is spotlessly clean, and the rooms are light and airy, all with a balcony or terrace and with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and vineyards There are indoor and outdoor pools. My husband actually taught me to swim in the indoor pool a number of years ago and I'm so pleased he did as I now have the confidence to swim in the outdoor pool, which has to be the nicest I've seen. It is situated amongst olive trees and is truly beautiful The hotel provides pool towels, dressing gowns and slippers free of charge On arrival you are greeted with the smiling faces of Alessio or one of his two lovely colleagues (sorry, I don't have their names) and this paves the way to meeting the most amazing staff you are ever likely to meet, Breakfast and dinner are both overseen by Lorenzo who is in charge of the restaurant and no matter how busy it is, he keeps it running like clockwork and always has time for a laugh and a joke. Lorenzo was actually the first person to serve us at the hotel some 21 years ago and I think it speaks volumes that this is a hotel where staff do not just come and go. Breakfast is a sumptuous array, and is made up of both hot and cold buffets including meats, salamis, cheeses, smoked salmon, sausages. mushrooms, bacon, and so much more, but the always smiling and singing Erica is just ecstatic if you ask her to make one of her special omelettes (they're amazing as are her scrambled eggs), Dinner starts with a salad buffet (be careful as there is so much choice, it is easy to take too much and not have enough room for the main meal), followed by a starter, main course and sweet which you choose at breakfast and which are served to your table, Arianna is often the waitress who serves our table, and over the years we have come to know her so well, she has been kind enough to introduce us to her lovely family and this year, there was a new addition, a beautiful puppy, Aris. It is wonderful to find a place you love so much, you keep going back, and actually make real friends of the staff. I really must mention the chef, Massimo Falco, as he never ceases to provide delicio
