Casa Marinella  

On the shores of Lake Garda in Malcesine, a short stroll from the harbor and the medieval Castello Scaligero. Minutes from the Malcesine–San Michele cableway up Monte Baldo and within easy walking distance of the old town. Pet-friendly, family-run 3-star boutique hotel with immediate lake access.

Run by the same family since 1964, Casa Marinella keeps things intimate with just 12 rooms. Most rooms have private balconies with lake views, flat-screen TVs, safes, minibars and private bathrooms. The property sits in a neat garden of ancient olive trees and offers a panoramic rooftop terrace and a private outdoor terrace for relaxed mornings.

Soak in the outdoor pool or hot tub and wander the olive-tree garden with porch swings. The beach is only steps away and the hotel arranges windsurfing, sailing, catamaran and kite rentals as well as diving and mountain excursions. Free on-site parking and a panoramic terrace bar keep things easy. Wake up to lake-breeze mornings and views from your balcony.

Free Wi‑Fi throughout and an internet point on site. Multilingual staff, luggage storage and a small library for quiet work or reading.

A grand buffet breakfast is served in the dining room and can be enjoyed on the outdoor terrace by request. Snack bar/deli and a panoramic terrace bar serve drinks, snacks and happy-hour bites throughout the day.
