Hotel Royal Village in Limone sul Garda

We stayed in the main hotel that has recently been refurbished. It was very clean and comfortable with a modern design. We only used the pool on this side of the hotel which had beautiful views. Again it was well kept, clean and tidy. It’s not heated so was absolutely freezing but that was not a bad thing on the really hot days. Yes, it’s a family hotel so expect children playing in the pool. If you want peace and quiet then you should book an adult only hotel. The indoor pool was ok, quite small and you have to pay extra for the spa. Food was ok, it lacked variety but what was available was nice. You can book the Italian restaurant but it is just buffet self service so nothing special. We were half board so we paid for lunch a couple of days at the pool bar, it was excellent and not too pricey for hotel food. The drinks on the other hand were a bit on the expensive side. There are plenty of nice restaurants in the main town. All of the staff were very attentive around the hotel. Reception were helpful but a little more information at check in would have been useful. You can get towels for the pool from reception which we weren’t told about. You can order a breakfast to go from reception if you’re out early which we did a couple of days. The location of the hotel is up a very steep hill, we walked it every day. You can carry on going up the hill from the hotel and it comes to a waterfall. There are some great walks in the area and would highly recommended exploring them. There is also a little supermarket further up from the hotel, only a couple of minutes walk which was very useful. There was a shuttle bus from the hotel to and from the main area, I think it was €2.50 pp each way that went a few times each day. We didn’t feel the need to use it but those that are less active might find it useful. I wouldn’t recommend the hotel if you have mobility issues. Overall it was a pleasant stay and for the price we paid (compared to other hotels in the area) it was worth it. The views from the hotel are stunning so worth the hike up the hill!
