Hotel Antonella's a small and friendly hotel run by the Zamboni family, who'll go out of their way to make sure you have a great stay. Family run hotel's are our favourite, because you get a really personalised service and there's always a homely atmosphere, so you can really switch off and relax on your summer holiday.

Easy access to Malcesine's lakefront

The hotel's in a great position on the main lake road so you can walk into the centre of Malcesine in about ten minutes. For a more scenic route we'd recommend taking the lakeside path- it's slightly longer but it's worth it just to be near the water and those stunning lake views. You'll also be in walking distance to the Monte Baldo cable car. Spend a day on Monte Baldo, scoping out the fantastic walking trails on offer. The views of Lake Garda from up on the mountain are some of the best you'll get, so make sure you don't miss the chance to see them!

Striking summer sunsets

The rooms are simple and spotlessly clean, and if you upgrade to the Standard Balcony Lake View Room, you'll be in prime position for watching the sun set across the lake and mountains each evening. Another great sunset spot is up on the hotel's roof terrace, where you can relax with an aperitivo in hand, reminiscing about your day exploring Lake Garda.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool & relax in the garden

One of the best parts of a summer holiday is making the most of an outdoor pool. We can think of nothing better than grabbing a sun lounger in the garden, taking a good book with you and spending the whole day soaking up the sun, whilst taking intermittent dips in the pool. There's also a bar service which delivers right to your sun lounger, so don't miss out on refreshing Hugo or Aperol Spritz; this is true relaxation!

Malcesine

  • Walk on Monte Baldo and take in breath-taking lake & mountain views
  • Soak up history at Malcesine's Scaligero Castle
  • Enjoy the sunshine on Paina pebble beach

Holidays in Malcesine offer a picturesque tourist town of cobbled lanes, medieval architecture and the ancient Scaligero castle. In fact, churches, castles and fortresses dot the shores of Lake Garda, taking sightseeing to new levels with the beautiful backdrop of lake and mountains. Treat yourself and taste the authentic flavours from the Italian restaurants in this family holiday setting. Malcesine is full of courtyards, gardens, trattorias, shops, gelaterie and bars that create a lively town atmosphere in the summer; great fun for children and adults alike! 

Family walking in Malcesine

Set your sights high and take the cable car running from Malcesine to Monte Baldo - a perfect excursion for a summer day, with cooler temperatures and a breeze guaranteed. At the top you’ll find walking and biking trails of all levels with wonderful views over Lake Garda, as well as several restaurants. The range of trails here make it ideal for families, it's easy to find a route that's manageable for little legs, or if you have teenagers, they'll love trying out some of the more exciting biking routes. Mid-way, the cable car stops at San Michele, where you can amble back down to Malcesine on a mule track getting maximum views with minimal effort.

The prettiest town on Lake Garda?

It’s a hard one to call, Lake Garda being so beautiful (and one of Italy’s best loved summer holiday spots), but summer holidays in Malcesine really do stand out from the crowd. Scaligero castle is built on a rock jutting over the lake, with fantastic views all around. There’s the Palazzo dei Capitani near the port - with its waterfront gardens, natural history museum and paintings - the 1200-year-old church Antica Pieve di Santo Stefano, and the huge white statue of Madonna dell’Accoglienze looking over the town (a relatively easy 8km round-trip walk from town).

Lakeside beaches and dreamy islands

Just 100m from the centre of Malcesine is pebbly Paina beach, with lifeguards, volleyball courts, a skate park, bars, restaurants and a beach club. It's a must-do on a hot summer day. Wander up the coast and the beaches multiply; most have floating swim rafts and a pizzeria close by. A few kilometres south of town is Val di Sogno beach, and when the lake water is low you can walk over to Isola del Sogno - ‘Dream Island’ - or even swim to it just 20 metres from the shore. Scuba divers might like to rent gear and visit the boat wreck just beyond Isola del Sogno.

Family days out: exploring Lake Garda from Malcesine

Malcesine is a great jumping off point for visiting the other Lake Garda towns and the perfect town for those who want to explore on holiday. Catch the boat over to the western shores of the lake to Riva or Limone for more ancient architecture and a different perspective of Garda. From Limone, stroll along the new cycle-pedestrian path, which is suspended over the water, hugging the cliffs - this is a really stunning walk an easy route for all ages.
