Hotel Derby

Hotel Derby is a 3-star family-run hotel located in Sirmione, in Lombardy, on the shore of Lake Garda, about 300 meters from the public beach and 600 meters from Lido Laguna.

The property is designed for those seeking a simple, well-kept stay close to the water: the rooms, all with balcony, air conditioning and private bathroom, in some cases offer lake views and are equipped with flat-screen TV and satellite channels. On the ground floor is the breakfast room with a veranda overlooking the garden, an ideal gathering point to start the day before heading to the shore or Sirmione’s historic center.

The hotel offers free private parking, albeit with limited spaces, and free WiFi throughout the property. The location is particularly appreciated by couples, who rate it 9.3 for a trip for two, thanks to its proximity to beaches, restaurants and the Virgilio Spa, reachable in about one kilometer on foot.

Room types

Hotel Derby offers three room types, all sharing a balcony, air conditioning, private bathroom and TV with satellite channels, ensuring consistent standards across every option. The main difference lies in size and capacity: from the larger Double Room with Balcony, at 15 sqm, suited to those wanting more space and sometimes a lake view, to the more compact Small version with Balcony, up to the Single Room designed for solo travelers.

Every room comes with free WiFi and benefits from the quiet of the property, which is located in a building without an elevator. The rooms are ideal for short or extended stays on Lake Garda, offering a balance between functionality and the personal touch typical of family-run management.

Location & what to see

Hotel Derby is located in the Lugana di Sirmione area, a residential neighborhood just steps from the shore of Lake Garda, away from the traffic of the historic center but easy to reach on foot or by bicycle. The public beach is just 300 meters away, while Lido Laguna is about 600 meters away: two landmarks for those who want to enjoy the lake without moving by car.

For those arriving from outside, the nearest railway station is San Martino della Battaglia, 3.2 km away, followed by Desenzano del Garda-Sirmione at 6 km, while Verona-Villafranca Airport is about 20 km away, convenient for those traveling to the lake by plane. Within a few hundred meters are also restaurants such as Il Ciclone and La Lisca, both about 100 meters away, ideal for a traditional local dinner.

The area is perfect for those who want to alternate relaxation and cultural visits: Sirmione Castle – Rocca Scaligera, 3.4 km away, and the Caves of Catullus, 4.5 km away, are among the area’s most visited destinations, while Sigurtà Garden Park, 14 km away, offers a full day among blooms and green paths. In summer, the proximity to the beaches makes the area particularly lively, while in the cooler months walks along the lake and visits to the World War I historic sites around San Martino della Battaglia prevail.
