Location & what to see

Hotel Maximilian is situated in the municipality of Malcesine, nestled along the shores of Val di Sogno bay, one of the most peaceful and picturesque inlets on the Veronese side of Lake Garda. The property stands directly in front of the lake, offering immediate access to the shores and a pleasant pedestrian walk along the water basin to the historic town. Just 1.5 km away lies the hamlet of Cassone with the Aril River, famous for being one of the shortest rivers in the world, measuring just 175 metres long.

Connections to local attractions are convenient and well-serviced: Malcesine Bus Station is 1.9 km away, while Verona-Villafranca Airport can be reached in about 38 km. Just 2 km away stands the famous Scaligero Castle of Malcesine, an ancient medieval fortress overlooking the waters that houses the Natural History Museum of Monte Baldo. At 3.4 km is the cable car station that leads up Monte Baldo to an altitude of 1,760 metres, an ideal destination for summer hikes and winter sports.

The surrounding area offers a wide choice of sports and cultural activities throughout the year.
