Family friendly hotel, very close to lake

We had a lovely time at Hotel Benacus. ALL the staff were so friendly and helpful. We had booked a standard double room and on arrival they had kindly upgraded us to a family room (free of charge) as we were travelling with our toddler which was very kind. Even at breakfast my husband couldn't eat the scrambled eggs as they had bacon and again the next morning and for the rest of the week they had made the eggs without bacon and without even asking for this! Another very kind gesture. The room was modern and clean, had a smart TV which was handy for our toddlers cartoons. The play area outside was a nice touch and the pool was good but wasn't warm enough to go in. They also give you a free hour on their quadricycle which we could go on as a family and was lots of fun! In terms of location, it was perfect. Opposite a supermarket which was handy and a 15-20 minute leisurely walk along the beautiful lake to the centre of Malcesine. Overall a lovely hotel with lovely staff. Thank you!

Would happily recommend

Really friendly staff, rooms are due to be renovated over the winter so will improve even more over time! Location is a 20-25 minute walk to Malcesine along the lake which is so scenic. Or you can take a 5min bus at 1,20 or 2,10 depending on the tourist or local bus. Very much recommended!

Recent stay in Malcesine

Hotel Benacus was a joy to stay in. I had a single room which was spacious, comfortable and clean as was all the hotel and grounds. The management and staff were very pleasant and welcoming and always on hand to give advice and information with regard to the resort and amenities. I would highly recommend this hotel to fellow travellers.

Excellent Hotel

We had a fantastic stay at Hotel Benacus. Everybody was so friendly and helpful. The hotel, pool & grounds were spotlessly clean and the views were beautiful. The walk into Malcesine took about 20 minutes but 95% of the walk is on a flat promenade next to the beautiful lake.

Garden and pool area very peaceful and relaxing. Hotel about 20/30 enjoyable minute walk along lake into old town of Malcesine (or if you prefer a 5 minute tourist bus ride for 1 euro).
