ホテル ヴァル ディ ソーニョ - 大人限定(Hotel Val Di Sogno - Adults Only)

Such a wonderful hotel, with excellent staff in a beautiful and superb setting. We spent two weeks here in July/August 2023, having been before in 2018. We were worried it would not live up to our memory but actually it was even better. The hotel has recently been refurbished to an even higher level before and the food for breakfast and dinner continues to be excellent.

My wife and I travel a lot but we realised earlier this year that we hadn’t had a holiday of pure relaxation since before the pandemic, so we decided it was time to plan one. We wanted good weather and the only time in our schedule that would work would be late August. That is the busiest time for tourism everywhere and we really didn’t want to be annoyed by children or noisy adult groups. So we started looking for adults-only hotels that might suit us and eventually found the Hotel Val di Sogno, which seemed ideal. Not only is it adults-only, but they don’t allow groups of more than six people, they don’t have wedding parties and don’t allow anyone who isn’t a guest to use their facilities, including the restaurant. I exchanged a few e-mails with Silvia who was very helpful in clarifying some details and so we went ahead and booked for a week. In summary, this hotel proved to be just perfect for the relaxing beak we wanted. It is located on a beautiful bay on Lake Garda, with views across to the mountains on the other side. It’s tranquil but not dead - you can sit and watch boats, windsurfers and stand-up paddle boarders coming and going and people swimming in the calm waters. The hotel and its grounds are right along the back of the beach, the restaurant looks straight out and all the rooms have this view too, so wherever you are you can enjoy the lovely setting. The hotel grounds are on two levels - a pool area, surrounding a large infinity-style pool with a swim-up bar, and a lower area along the back of the beach, with trees etc. In both areas there were plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas for shade. Our room had a very large balcony with chairs and a small table and of course the wonderful lake view. The room itself was spacious and attractively furnished, with a bathroom area with separate toilet and clothes storage hanging spaces. Even the bathroom enjoyed the views through a large window between it and the bedroom (which at the press of a button could magically become “frosted” for privacy). Unfortunately, perhaps because of the very warm weather, the air conditioning didn’t seem to be powerful enough to keep us comfortably cool at night. Another time we’ll probably leave the window open instead as we do at home. We decided to have dinner at the hotel on our first night and found it excellent. The menu is fairly limited but everything we tried was of a very high standard so we actually came back for every lunch and dinner that we could (they close it on Wednesday evenings). As there are plenty of tables there is never any shortage, so you don’t have to make reservations - you just show up, find a nice table and enjoy your meal. The breakfast buffet is truly impressive: as well some hot items, such as freshly prepared omelettes, there was a huge range of delicious breads, pastries and cereals (including several different types of muesli), meats, cheeses and fruit. Coffee is self-service from a machine but really excel

This hotel has it all - its setting is unparalleled, yet the facilities and service are just as good. We could not have been more impressed, and love that it's adults only, with no outside guests allowed at the pool or in the restaurant.

This hotel gets better each time - this is our 5th visit and we could not fault it! We travelled with another couple and we both had really lovely rooms - the location on Lake Garda could not be better, it is set on a small peninsula, away from the main road and every single room faces the lake. The breakfast was absolutely outstanding - superb choices, excellent service and a lovely atmosphere to enjoy a leisurely start to the day. We don't normally eat in hotel restaurants in the evening, but on our first night there was an incredible storm so we didn't really have much choice. We were so glad that we had to eat there as the food was superb and the service excellent - on our next visit, we will definitely choose to eat here. We love the gardens, pool and lake swimming. The location is nice and quiet and it is also a beautiful lakeside walk to Malcesine. One of our favourite hotels on Lake Garda - we will be back. Thank you to all of the team for another wonderful stay.

We picked the hotel as it was adults only and we really needed a break after tough years at work! The hotel really lives up to and exceeds those expectations. It's about a 20 minute walk out of central Malcesine along the promenade but you could be a 1000 miles away from the hustle and bustle of tourism when you go through the door. You pick your own room at booking; I don't think there are any bad rooms to be honest! Staff are wonderful and would do anything to help. Food top notch but be aware the restaurant closes for a break on Wednesday night. Drinks in the garden, watching the boats in the bay, total relaxation. Those are my memories!

The hotel was wonderful. Service brilliant and facilities first class. Bistrot food could be more exciting. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was outstanding. The location is breathtaking.

Having stayed at another 4* adults only hotel in Malcesine several times, this was our first stay at Hotel Val Di Sogno & we certainly weren’t disappointed. The Hotel sits directly on the Lake shore and provides uninterrupted views for miles. Staff are friendly, welcoming and committed to ensuring you enjoy your stay, without being intrusive. The standard of accommodation and cleanliness are excellent; choice at breakfast is plentiful; the ‘Bistro’ menu is available for lunch & dinner (with 2 ‘off menu specials’ also offered each evening) or you can enjoy a ‘pool side snack’ until late afternoon. Grounds are well maintained & they even grow some of their own vegetables! There are plenty of sun loungers for all guests with no reservation protocol - even at their busiest, you wouldn’t know anyone else was there! Thoroughly recommend Hotel Val Di Sogno & we will definitely return.

Last year it was perfect. But this year its bad experience.. I had another reservation for next stay this year, but i would cancel it for sure. - malfunctioning air conditioning - lazy personal - closed pool bar everytime - absolutely lazy personal in restaurant After that all they told me “if you are unhappy there, you can go to another hotel”… Aircondition is unvailable on purpose they told me, because its saving electricity…. So, if you are looking for hotel, this is not a good choice :)

A beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting with beautiful views. The rooms, the owners and staff, even the amazing breakfast are fantastic. Really tranquil and relaxing place to stay, and the finest hotel we’ve ever stayed in. We hope to return time and time again.
