Hotel Ca’ Serena is a family-run 3-star hotel operating since 1958 in Sirmione, directly on the shores of Lake Garda and a short distance from the Sirmione Thermal Baths. The property, recently renovated, occupies a main building and an annex, and is designed for families and couples who want a simple but comfortable stay without giving up direct contact with the lake.
The rooms, furnished in an essential style, feature a private bathroom with shower, TV with satellite channels, telephone and air conditioning; some room types offer a balcony or garden view, while an attic room on the third floor, without a lift, provides greater privacy with an independent entrance. Continental, Italian and buffet breakfast is served in the adjacent Hotel Marolda, which also houses check-in, with views of Lake Garda from the dining room.
Just outside the door lies the public beach of Lido Galeazzi, ideal for windsurfing, pedal boats and water skiing, while guests can also use the pool of the partner Hotel Villa Pioppi, 700 metres away towards the Old Town. Private parking is free and the neighbourhood offers shops, restaurants and historic sites just a few steps away.
Hotel Ca’ Serena offers five room types spread between the main building and an internal annex, all air-conditioned and equipped with flat-screen or satellite TV.

Hotel Ca’ Serena is located in Colombare di Sirmione, a residential area on the southern shore of Lake Garda, in a quiet spot yet very close to the lakefront and the life of the historic centre. The property faces directly onto the water, with the public beach of Lido Galeazzi just 20 metres away and several bars and restaurants reachable on foot within a few minutes, such as Trattoria Antica Contrada, 50 metres away.
The historic centre of Sirmione with the Scaligero Castle is about 2.2 km away, as are the Grottoes of Catullus, a Roman archaeological site that can be visited 3.3 km away. The nearest railway stations are San Martino della Battaglia, 4.1 km away, and Desenzano del Garda-Sirmione, about 5 km away, both connected to the Milan-Venice line. Verona-Villafranca Airport is 21 km away, a convenient option for those arriving by air from Veneto.
The area is suited to both beach holidays and inland excursions: the beach allows windsurfing, pedal boats and water skiing in summer, while all year round it is possible to visit Sigurtà Garden Park, about 15 km away, or the Scaligero Castle of Ponti sul Mincio, 9 km away. The Sirmione Thermal Baths, known for their sulphurous thermal waters, are easily reachable and are also an attraction in the cooler months, when the lakefront becomes quieter and suited to long walks.
Guests especially praise the location, rated 9.2, and the staff’s helpfulness, at 9 points. Cleanliness and value for money also receive good marks, while comfort and services remain solid but slightly more modest, consistent with a simple, family-run hotel.
