About Hotel Cristallo

Hotel Cristallo's a charming hotel with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. It has a very down-to-earth feel to it, so you'll be able to completely switch off and relax on your summer holiday. It’s about a 10-15 minute walk from the centre of Malcesine and the lakefront, so you'll have the chance to make the most of walking by the lake.

The hotel's location means you'll be able to enjoy some fantastic lake views– particularly if you head up to the third floor panoramic terrace where you’ll find sun loungers and a whirlpool. Or, head to the garden and scope out the pool; perfect for a refreshing dip after a day exploring and walking around Lake Garda. You'll also find more loungers in the garden. We love grabbing a lounger and spending the day relaxing in the sun with an aperitivo and a good book.

The hotel's decorated in a very traditional style. Expect bright colours in the rooms and comfy furnishings throughout. The restaurant feels just as homely and serves typical Italian food for dinner. Make sure you don't miss out on trying some local wines from the nearby wine-growing region of Bardolino; they'll make a delicious accompaniment to your evening meal. The bar's a great place to head to for a pre-dinner aperitivo, or for relaxing in after dinner with a night cap.
