Centro Paolo VI
Clean room and friendly staff. Breakfast was excellent! Large selection of savory and sweet with an abundance of food for every appetite and dietary restriction. Only lament (and this is on me for not reading amenities clearly) was the lack of access to an iron onsite. Otherwise excellent! Rooms ...

Hotel Sirmione Terme
Nicely positioned hotel on the lake and for the ferry stop. Rooms a little small but the balcony was nice with a view of the lake. Staff in the restaurant were helpful and friendly.

Fantastic breakfast, great variety and quality. Very quiet to sleep, excellence rest. They give bicycles to reach town centre, which is an excellent idea. I will definitely return for longer!
