Hotel Benaco is a 3-star property in the centre of Colombare di Sirmione, just a three-minute walk from the shores of Lake Garda, designed for families and couples who want to move easily along the Brescia side of the lake.
The property revolves around an outdoor pool with a dedicated area for children, surrounded by a garden where sun loungers, umbrellas and beach towels are available free of charge. The rooms, furnished in a classic style, offer air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a chromotherapy shower, bathrobes, slippers and a minibar; some room types come with a balcony and solutions designed for larger families, with bunk beds or extra futons.
Breakfast, served buffet-style, features an assortment of cakes, biscuits and pastries, while during the day the hotel restaurant serves traditional Italian dishes. Hotel Benaco is about a 12-minute drive from the Sirmione toll booth on the A4 motorway and 6 km from Desenzano del Garda, from where boats depart to cross the lake.
The eleven room types at Hotel Benaco range from the most compact single, just 6 square metres, to the 18-square-metre quadruple designed for families, passing through double and economy solutions. All rooms are air-conditioned, feature a private bathroom and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, and many open onto a balcony; some triple and quadruple accommodations include extra futons to host more people in the same room.
The Economy rooms favour simplicity and a lower price, while the balcony versions offer a few extra square metres and a private outdoor space. Solo travellers can choose between the Single with balcony and the Comfort, while couples will find in the Small Double and the Large Double/Twin two alternatives of different sizes, both with the option of separate beds on request.
With its 14 square metres, this is one of the largest rooms in the double category, and stands out for the option to choose between a double bed or two single beds. The private balcony and the four satellite channels round off a versatile accommodation, suitable for both couples and friends travelling together.
A room without a balcony, designed for those looking for the most affordable option without giving up a private bathroom, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV. At 12 square metres, it is among the most compact rooms in the property, ideal for a short stay focused on being close to the lake.
Designed for solo travellers, this 9-square-metre room offers the choice between a single bed or a double bed, plus a private balcony that sets it apart from the smaller Single in the property.
At 18 square metres, this is one of the largest rooms in the hotel, designed for families or small groups thanks to the two extra futons. The private bathroom with a walk-in shower, bidet and toiletries makes it a practical choice for stays with children.
Identical in size to the Economy Quadruple, this version stands out for its private balcony, an added benefit for families who want an outdoor space to enjoy during their stay.
A 16-square-metre accommodation with a single extra futon, designed for groups of three. The private bathroom with a walk-in shower and toiletries makes it comfortable for multi-night stays, though without the balcony of its twin version.
Same size as the Economy Triple but with the addition of a private balcony, making it the preferable choice for those who want a small outdoor space during a stay for three.
This is the smallest room in the hotel, at just 6 square metres, but it is the only single room with a private balcony in addition to the single bed, a detail that sets it apart from the larger Comfort room.
