Hotel Smeraldo is a 3-star property located on the shores of Lake Garda in Sirmione, about 700 metres from the Scaliger Castle – Rocca Scaligera.
The hotel features a large garden with direct access to a private beach and shares services with the affiliated property across the street, such as free bicycle rental, a summer beach kiosk and a restaurant with a lake-view terrace. The air-conditioned rooms, fitted with a balcony or terrace and TV with satellite channels, include double, family and studio solutions with a kitchenette; some offer a full or partial view of the lake.
The location is one of the property’s strong points, especially appreciated by couples: Sirmione’s historic centre can be reached on foot in just 5 minutes, and bus connections with the town are frequent. Suited to those seeking a lakeside stay without giving up proximity to the historic centre, Hotel Smeraldo offers simple but functional rooms, designed for families and couples looking for relaxation by the lake.
The seven room types at Hotel Smeraldo share essential amenities such as air conditioning, private bathroom, flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a balcony or terrace, ensuring a comfortable stay just a few steps from Lake Garda.
The range includes double and family rooms with sizes between 15 and 26 square metres, designed for two, three or four guests, and some solutions with full or partial lake view that are particularly in demand. For those seeking more independence, studios are available with a kitchenette equipped with a stove, refrigerator, utensils and microwave oven, ideal for longer stays. The Economy Double/Twin Room, on the other hand, offers a more compact solution but still equipped with the same basic comforts as the other room types.
At 17 sqm, this is the most compact double room in the property but one of the few with a direct view of Lake Garda from the balcony. Equipped with air conditioning, private bathroom and satellite TV, it is designed for two or three guests who want to wake up to a view of the water.
This is the largest room in the property at 26 sqm, designed for families of up to four people thanks to the combination of a double bed and two single beds. Balcony, air conditioning and private bathroom complete a spacious solution that, however, does not have a lake view.
At 15 sqm, this is the property’s most affordable solution, designed for those seeking the essentials without giving up a private bathroom, air conditioning and balcony. Configurable as preferred with a double bed or two single beds, it is suited to short stays for couples.
Slightly larger than the Lake View room (18 sqm), this room offers a partial view of Lake Garda from its furnished balcony. Air conditioning, satellite TV and private bathroom make it an ideal middle ground between the Economy room and the room with a full lake view.
The first of the property’s studios, with 22 sqm and a well-equipped kitchenette with stove, refrigerator, utensils and microwave oven: ideal for those who want to cook independently. Terrace, private bathroom and air conditioning complete a solution without a lake view, suitable for up to four guests.
Larger than the Studio with Balcony (24 sqm), it combines a full kitchenette with a terrace offering a partial lake view, the only one among the studios to offer it. Three available beds make it suitable for small groups or families with children.
The same size as its twin studio but without a kitchenette, this family room has three beds, a terrace with a partial lake view, satellite TV and a private bathroom: the most suitable choice for families who prefer the property’s dining service to cooking in the room.
Hotel Smeraldo offers a large garden with outdoor furniture, umbrellas and sun loungers, and direct access to a private beach facing the lake; a children’s pool and a panoramic terrace are also available.
General services include a lift, safe, daily housekeeping, laundry and ironing service, luggage storage, tour desk, currency exchange and rooms accessible to guests with disabilities. Security is ensured by CCTV cameras, smoke alarms and access with magnetic keys.
For dining, a bar is available, while private parking is available to guests upon request. WiFi is free throughout the property and non-smoking rooms are guaranteed for those who prefer smoke-free environments.
Hotel Smeraldo is located on the lakefront of Sirmione, in the most central part of the town, just a few steps from the promenade running along Lake Garda and a short distance from the historic centre enclosed within the peninsula. This is the town’s busiest area, appreciated by those seeking a lakeside holiday without straying too far from the alleys, shops and restaurants of the centre.
Sirmione Castle – Rocca Scaligera is about 750 metres away, reachable on foot in around ten minutes by walking along the shore; Sirmione’s public beach is 950 metres away, while the restaurants Alleria and Barracuda are just 400 metres from the hotel. For those arriving by train, Desenzano del Garda-Sirmione station is about 6 km away, while Verona-Villafranca Airport, the nearest airport, is 22 km away. Sirmione’s historic centre can be reached on foot in 5 minutes, and bus connections with other towns on the lake are frequent throughout the tourist season.
In the summer months the area buzzes with beach life, with the option of renting bicycles for free to explore the coast as far as Lido Porto Galeazzi, about 1.4 km away, or reaching the Grottoes of Catullus, a Roman archaeological site less than 2 km away, for a walk among olive trees and historic ruins with lake views. In spring and autumn, when temperatures are milder, Parco della Rimembranza and the lakefront promenade become the ideal route for long walks, while the entire Sirmione peninsula, with its thermal baths and panoramic viewpoints, remains an interesting destination in every season of the year.
Reviews particularly reward Hotel Smeraldo’s location, rated 9.1, and the staff’s courtesy (8.3). Cleanliness and comfort stand at around 7.8, while services and value for money remain more modest (7.4), reflecting a simple but well-located hotel on the lake.
