Made up of two separate buildings, the hotel features a garden with an outdoor pool open from May to September, a sun terrace and free private parking.
The rooms, decorated in pastel tones and air-conditioned, are divided into Classic, Economy and Superior types, as well as larger family suites designed for groups and large families. All rooms have satellite TV, a minibar and a private bathroom with shower, while some offer a balcony or terrace with a view of the garden, pool or lake.
The main building houses the buffet breakfast room, a bar-café and common areas with a reading corner and TV. The location along the SS11 road, between Desenzano and Peschiera del Garda, is convenient for those who want to travel by car along the whole shore of Lake Garda, while staying just steps from the beach and the restaurants along Sirmione’s lakefront.

The rooms at Hotel Gardenia Sirmione follow a progression of sizes and amenities, from the more compact 14-16 sqm Classic rooms to the 40 and 50 sqm family suites designed for large groups. All room types are air-conditioned and equipped with a flat-screen satellite TV, minibar and private bathroom with shower, while they vary in number of beds, view and presence of a balcony or terrace.
The Classic and Economy Double Rooms are the simplest solutions for couples, while the Classic Triple and Quadruple add single beds or a sofa bed for families with children. The Junior Suite and Family Suite, made up of two connecting rooms, offer more space with a balcony and garden or pool view. The Deluxe Suite stands out for its private entrance, separate living room and terrace with lake view, while the Superior Double Room offers a terrace with garden view for those looking for a few extra square metres without giving up proximity to the centre of the hotel.

Compared to the Classic Double Room, it gains one square metre and an extra sofa bed, useful for a third guest or a child. Here too the view is of the inner courtyard, with air conditioning and minibar already included.
