About Hotel Continental Wellness & Spa

Hotel Continental Wellness & Spa has it all– a prime lakefront position, superb facilities and excellent staff. It’s tucked away just outside the centre of Sirmione, which you can walk to in about five minutes. The hotel's location means it’s nice and peaceful so once you’ve spent some time in the hustle and bustle of the town you can head back here and chill out by the heated pool. The lake is just steps away and there’s a wooden jetty that gives easy access to the water.

Discover Sirmione

  • Immerse yourself in history by exploring the ancient Grotte di Catullo and the iconic Scaligero Castle
  • Wander through Sirmione’s narrow, cobbled streets, where every corner tells a story of the town’s fascinating past
  • Treat yourself to a delicious gelato while enjoying picturesque lakeside views

Sirmione is a stunning peninsula on the southern shore of Lake Garda, and one of the most picturesque towns in the Italian Lakes. Scaligero Castle is the photogenic crown, but there are also medieval lanes, a beach, Roman ruins, olive groves, thermal spas and a glut of gelaterie to explore- and all on traffic-free streets. Beyond the historic centre, you can continue with summery lakeside walks along the promenade or board one of the many ferries that hop between the glimmering towns on Lake Garda’s shoreline.

Things to do in Sirmione

The Verona Opera is definitely one for the bucket list! The season runs from mid-June to early-September and covers all the classics including Aida by Verdi or Turnadot by Puccini. Whichever performance you choose; you’ll have an incredible evening.

Sirmione, Lake Garda, Summer Holidays

Sirmione has a rich history so there’s lots to see and do. On the tip of the Sirmione peninsula is a Roman archaeological site known as the Grotte di Catullo, which, according to an unfounded belief, was once the ancient lakeside residence of the poet Gaius Valerius Catullus. The crowning jewel of Sirmione however, is Scaligero Castle which welcomes visitors to the historical town centre with its characteristic moat, swallowtail battlements and walls.

Sirmione’s been known for its healing thermal waters since the Roman times and there’s plenty of places to enjoy them on the tiny peninsula. Sirmione's thermal baths are about more than just wellness. It's not just about feeling good, it's about healing, and feeling better about oneself, and above all, health. The local thermal baths are filled with sulfate-containing water from an underwater spring, which promises relief for various diseases. Aquaria’s our go-to place when we need to relax- it has the biggest pools and over 10,000 square metres to chill out in.

from £79 per person

Venice is not to be missed! This excursion allows you to explore the city with a guide and at your own pace. You’ll arrive by coach and grab a water taxi to the centre. You’ll also have the option to add on a gondola ride (payable locally). There’s plenty of time to take in sights of the Basilica, Doge's Palace, St Mark's square and the Rialto bridge- this is the perfect introduction to one of Italy's most magical cities.

You may also have the option to join an optional lagoon trip, which is a lovely opportunity to experience the lagoon and its monuments and learn more about Venetian history from the water (optional extra, payable locally to the excursion guide). If you're not going on the lagoon trip you'll have an hour of free time to roam around Venice at your own pace.

Details: 

  • Departs on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
  • Available from all Lake Garda resorts.
  • Guests taking part in this excursion on Monday 2nd June 2025 will need to pay a €10 tourist tax to enter Venice in addition to the cost of the excursion (ask your Destination Expert for more details on how to pay).

Start with a scenic drive through the exceptional South Tyrol, Val di Fiemme, Cavalese and Moena regions.

There’s some free time to explore the terrain at your own pace, either by taking one of the trekking paths or simply enjoying an Aperol at a rifugio and taking in the views. A stop off at the chocolate box town of Ortisei is included on the way back to your hotel as well as plenty of stops for photo opportunities in this awe inspiring landscape. Make sure you take some warmer clothes as temperatures really drop when you get up to the top!

They're both great cities to walk around- and they're not too big so it's easy to all the sights in one day!
