Hotel Cristal is a 3-star hotel located in Lugana di Sirmione, just 100 metres from the shore of Lake Garda and about a 10-minute drive from the historic centre of Sirmione.
The property caters to those seeking a peaceful lakeside stay without giving up comfort and services: the rooms, all air-conditioned, feature flat-screen TVs with streaming services, private bathrooms and terraces, with several types ranging from the Lake View Suite to the Economy Double Room. Every morning a continental breakfast is served, including gluten-free options, while the bar with panoramic terrace is ideal for an aperitif with a view.
Among the hotel’s strengths is its spa and wellness centre, with sauna, Turkish bath and hot tub, as well as bicycle rental and 24-hour staff assistance for purchasing Gardaland tickets and organising boat trips on the lake. Parking is free and pets are allowed on request. The location, just steps from restaurants and a 10-minute walk from a bus stop for Sirmione and Desenzano del Garda, makes it convenient for both drivers and those using public transport.
The rooms at Hotel Cristal, all air-conditioned and equipped with private bathroom, flat-screen TV with streaming services and terrace, mainly differ in size, view and bed configuration. The Lake View Suite and the Superior Double Room share the same 17 sqm floor area and both overlook the lake, while the Standard Double Room, at 16 sqm, offers the same view but can accommodate up to three people thanks to an additional single bed. The Economy Double Room, the smallest at 14 sqm, stands out for overlooking the inner courtyard instead of the lake.
All room types are designed for couples, with the exception of the Standard, which also welcomes small groups or families with one child. Soundproofing and a minibar are present in all rooms, ensuring a good level of privacy regardless of the category chosen.
