Gardaland Adventure Hotel

On the banks of Lake Garda in Castelnuovo del Garda, this themed adventure hotel sits minutes from a major lakeside theme park and an aquarium. Easy drives bring you to Verona, the Valpolicella vineyards and medieval lakeside towns like Bardolino and Lazise.

One hundred individually themed rooms are split across four immersive zones — Arctic, Arabian, Jungle and Wild West — for a playful, family-friendly stay. Rooms feature flat-screen TVs, fridges, air conditioning, private bathrooms with hairdryers, in-room safes and daily housekeeping. Pets are allowed for an extra charge.

Seasonal outdoor pool and lazy river plus summer access (May–Sept) to an adjacent Blue Lagoon aquatic area set the scene for splashy afternoons. You’ll find a poolside bar, arcade/game room, a shuttle to the nearby park (about every 30 minutes) and free self-parking on site. Expect family-oriented activities and easy lake-breeze mornings.

Complimentary wireless internet is available throughout the property, with high-speed access in public areas and rooms. Additional conveniences include laundry/dry-cleaning, a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, concierge services and laptop-compatible safes and desks.

An on-site Egyptian-themed restaurant set like a pharaoh’s temple serves international cuisine, complemented by a bar/lounge and a poolside bar. Buffet breakfasts are offered daily for a fee, and limited room service is available.
