The in-house restaurant serves regional traditional dishes and a selection of wines, also served on the covered patio overlooking the Gulf of Salò. The thirteen available rooms vary in size and view: some overlook the lake, others the historic centre, and all feature a private bathroom, air conditioning, minibar and flat-screen satellite TV.

The thirteen rooms of Hotel Locanda del Benaco are divided into several types, from classic double rooms to the suite with balcony, all with private bathroom, air conditioning, minibar and flat-screen satellite TV.
