Location & what to see

Hotel Malcesine is located at Piazza Pallone 4, set directly within the pedestrian layout of Malcesine’s medieval centre on the Venetian shore of Lake Garda. Its town setting allows guests to explore the ancient village on foot, characterized by stone lanes and artisan shops. Just 250 metres from the property stands the Scaliger Castle, an impressive fortress overlooking the lake that houses the Natural History Museum of Monte Baldo and Garda. A short walk from the hotel entrance leads to the marina, the departure point for ferries to Limone sul Garda on the opposite shore and to Riva del Garda.

Getting around and taking trips into the surrounding region is convenient thanks to transport connections: the Malcesine bus station is 200 metres from the hotel, offering direct connections to Verona and other towns along the Venetian lake shore. The departure station for the Malcesine-Monte Baldo cable car is a 600-metre walk away. Passo Campiano is located 1.3 km away, while continuing south along the coast for 3.2 km brings guests to the hamlet of Cassone, famous for the Aril River, which at 175 metres long is considered among the shortest rivers in the world. For air travellers, Verona Villafranca Airport is 39 km away.

The location at the foot of Monte Baldo makes the area popular for various outdoor activities. During the summer, the lake shores and Acquafresca Beach, located 5 km south, are destinations for bathers and water sports enthusiasts such as sailors, windsurfers, and paddleboarders. In spring and autumn, taking the cable car up to the ridges of Monte Baldo allows hikers and cyclists to explore the trails of the Monte Baldo Local Natural Park, descending along scenic routes with views across the entire lake basin.
