Hotel Garnì Bartabel is a 3-star property in the heart of Gargnano, right on the shores of Lake Garda, just steps from the town’s main square.
The terrace overlooking Monte Baldo and the lake is one of the property’s strongest features: here, every morning, a traditional breakfast is served with jams, croissants, cereals, cakes, fruit and cured meats. The rooms, furnished in a simple and functional style, come with a desk, flat-screen TV and, in several room types, air conditioning; some feature lake or town views, while others offer a private terrace. Free WiFi is available throughout the property.
The staff organises boat excursions on the lake and airport transfers, a service much appreciated by guests arriving without a car. The central location, among restaurants, shops and Gargnano’s lakeside promenade, makes the Bartabel suitable both for romantic stays and for those who want to explore the western shore of Lake Garda on foot.

The rooms at Hotel Garnì Bartabel are mainly distinguished by their view: some overlook Gargnano’s historic centre, others Lake Garda, with two options also adding a private terrace or balcony. Sizes range from 15 sqm for the Single Room to 30 sqm for the Triple Room, suiting solo travellers, couples and families with children.
All room types have a private bathroom, desk and flat-screen TV, while air conditioning is present in most rooms above the base Triple. The Family Room, designed for two adults and two children, is arranged in two separate rooms, while the Double Room with Lake View and Terrace remains the most requested choice for those seeking a direct view over the water and Monte Baldo.
At 30 sqm this is the largest of the Bartabel’s rooms, overlooking Gargnano’s historic centre. It has an en-suite bathroom, desk and LCD TV, and is designed for groups of three thanks to the combination of a single bed and a large double bed.
The most compact room in the property, overlooking a narrow alley which limits natural light. It has an en-suite bathroom, LCD TV and desk, and is the most affordable choice for those seeking the essentials right in the historic centre.
Larger than the Economy, this room offers air-conditioned interiors, private bathroom, LCD TV and desk. It’s a balanced middle ground between the property’s simplest rooms and its lake-view options.
The only room in the property with a furnished private terrace, facing directly onto Lake Garda. The interiors are air-conditioned and completed with an LCD TV and desk, for a stay with a view that doesn’t require going down to the shared terrace.
Same size as the terrace version, but without a private outdoor space: the view over Lake Garda remains the distinctive feature, alongside an en-suite bathroom, LCD TV and desk.
The smallest room by size, designed for a single guest, with the option to choose between a single bed or a French double bed when booking. Includes an en-suite bathroom, LCD TV and desk.
The lake-view version of the Triple Room, with two alternative bed configurations to suit different groups. The en-suite bathroom features a shower, toiletries and hairdryer, a detail not specified for the other triple rooms.
The only option in the property arranged in two separate bedrooms, designed for families with children. The interiors are air-conditioned and the layout allows for more privacy between parents and children compared to the other room types.

Hotel Garnì Bartabel is located on Via Roma, in the historic core of Gargnano, just a few metres from the lakeside promenade and the town’s main square. The area is typical of the villages on Lake Garda’s western shore, with narrow alleys, arcades and colourful houses running down to the water, in a pedestrian setting where cars have little presence.
Trattoria San Martino is practically on the doorstep, 10 metres away, while the Al Lago restaurant is 50 metres away and Osteria Lo Zuavo is around 100 metres away. Parco le Fontanelle, a green area overlooking the lake, can be reached in a few minutes on foot (600 m). For those arriving by plane, the nearest airport is Verona-Villafranca, about 35 km away, while Bergamo-Orio al Serio is further, at 72 km.
The area’s main attractions can be reached by car in a few minutes: the Vittoriale degli Italiani, Gabriele D’Annunzio’s residence in Gardone Riviera, is about 10 km away, as is the Acqua Pazza natural area. Families can consider Adventure Park Tignale, a treetop adventure park about 9 km away.
In summer the lake is well suited to windsurfing, sailing and boat trips, activities the hotel staff organise directly on request; in winter the area becomes a starting point for excursions towards Monte Baldo and Passo d’Ere, about 6 km away, appreciated by hikers for its views over the valley.
Guests particularly praise the staff, rated 9.7, and the central lakeside location, with a 9.5 that rises to 9.6 among couples. Cleanliness and comfort remain solid, while the value for money, though good, is the lowest-rated aspect.
