Grand Hotel Fasano

Grand Hotel Fasano is the most luxurious hotel we have ever stayed in and the staff are second to none. The concierge, waiters, cleaners, bar staff are all professionally trained to a standard that reflects the price of the hotel, they made our 7 night experience unforgettable. We stayed in a Standard room in Villa Principe which was big enough for two, finished to a high modern standard with a lovely ensuite, we had a side view of the lake too but honestly we didn’t spend much time in there as the rest of the hotel is so incredible. We didn’t feel it necessary to upgrade the room. The room is prepared twice a day for you tuning over the linen and drawing the curtains etc for you after your evening, like I said the staff are faultless. The fridge is kept well stocked with complementary san Pellegrino and still water. We also arrived to complement sparkling wine and a second bottle on my wife’s birthday. The swimming pool and outdoor areas are immaculate with an army of staff constantly cleaning and looking after you. The Spa area is also absolutely beautiful with numerous saunas, steam rooms, plunge pools and swimming pools. The swim through tunnel between spa and outdoor pool is fun too. There is lots of easy access directly into the lake for a cooling swim - we were there in midJuly and whilst the water isn’t cold it was refreshing. We ate in most of the restaurants and bars in the hotel and the food was of a very high standard in all of them. Highly recommended the tasting menu and wine paring at Il Pescatore. Breakfast was an absolute delight and occasionally featured a classic guitarists. Also recommend venturing into nearby Salò for an evening. The hotel’s bar serves amazing cocktails but it can be quite quiet in the evening, not the place to go if you want an energetic evening - very relaxing though! For an extremely reasonable €50 we also took advantage of the BMW experience / test drive of the electric iX and took it up to Riva del Garda.

Gorgeous grounds with many thoughtful touches. highly recommend the lake view rooms. the breakfast was a highlight as well. most of the staff was wonderful especially Diana and Andrea in the bar. We had one or two other experiences with staff members who were a bit brusque out of nowhere but otherwise the staff was very kind and welcoming. Overall, and exceptional 5-star experience!

The hotel is definitely 5-star quality. The breakfast offerings were extensive and it was lovely to sit looking out over the lake each morning. The room was very comfortable and clean, the bathroom was spacious. We ate on the terrace one evening and dine indoors another and food was excellent both times. I especially enjoyed having a drink in the quiet, cozy atmosphere of the Gin Bar. The outdoor facilities were great.

This hotel is absolutely incredible! It surpassed every single expectation, the most amazing, friendly and helpful staff, we felt so welcome from the moment we turned up… also the welcome drinks are out of this world! The spa is by far the best we’ve ever been to (the tunnel pool that links to the outside pool is a must!)… we spent hours there one rainy afternoon, the beds next to the poolside means you can chill until your hearts content, snacking on dried mango and drinking the peach water in there! We had a deluxe room with a lake view which is highly recommended! Everything you could ever need, exceptionally clean and relaxing. At breakfast there was a guitarist playing soothing tunes, and a pianist in the evening playing at the outside bar… both brought a great vibe which suited the atmosphere perfectly! I could write about this hotel for days, we’ve just returned home and missing it already… but I’ll just say, if you’re planning to stay here, we’re very jealous! We’ll be returning asap! Thank you so much for making our stay unforgettable.

Staff were excellent, spa facilities were very good, hotel was beautiful with tremendous views over Lake Garda. We had booked a superior room with a partial lake view but we were in Villa Principe and had a full view of the lake and we could hear the waves lapping and the ducks quacking.
