Hotel Villa Giulia is a 4-star property overlooking the western shore of Lake Garda, in Gargnano, made up of a main villa and two annexes surrounded by greenery.
The property offers a private beach, a lake pier, an outdoor pool and gardens that stretch down to the water. The bar with panoramic terrace and the on-site restaurant, serving local specialities for breakfast, lunch and dinner, complete the dining offer. Guests can also make use of a gym and a spa (extra charge) with wellness treatments, sauna and steam room.
The rooms and suites, spread between the villa and the annex, are all air-conditioned and equipped with satellite TV, minibar and private bathroom with shower; many offer lake views, a balcony or a terrace. The location is particularly popular with couples, with shops and restaurants just steps away and the Vittoriale degli Italiani, Villa Bettoni and Isola del Garda within easy reach, making Villa Giulia an ideal base for exploring the upper Brescia side of Lake Garda.

The rooms at Hotel Villa Giulia are spread between the main villa and two annexes in the garden, ranging from 18 to 72 square metres and configured for both couples and small groups. All room types feature air conditioning, a flat-screen satellite TV, minibar and private bathroom, while many offer lake views or garden views, and some feature a bathtub, balcony or panoramic terrace.
Among the options, the Junior Suites with patio or balcony and lake view and the Suite in the Annex with a separate living area stand out, ideal for those seeking more space and privacy. The Standard, Deluxe and Superior rooms, more compact, still come with every essential comfort and in several cases overlook the lake or the garden, offering a good balance between smaller size and quality of view.
The largest of the available room types, this 66 sqm suite is located in the garden annex and is the only one to offer a separate living area with a sofa bed, ideal for families or small groups.
Air-conditioned room with a private terrace overlooking the lake, one of the few 25 sqm room types to offer this combination of balcony and direct water view.
Similar in size to the Deluxe with balcony, this version can also be found in the garden annex and in some cases includes its own terrace in addition to the lake view.
At 22 sqm, this is among the most compact rooms in the property, but it keeps the lake view and the extra-large double bed as its main highlight.
A 44 sqm junior suite overlooking the lake, set apart from the others by its private patio and bathroom with separate tub and shower.
The simplest Standard room type in the property, located in the garden annex, with a mountain view in addition to the garden view, an uncommon feature among the other rooms.
The smallest room in the hotel, at 18 sqm, facing the garden rather than the lake, suited to those looking for a more affordable option without giving up essential comfort.
Junior suite with a panoramic balcony and a bathroom combining a bathtub and walk-in shower, one of the most complete accommodations for those seeking space and lake views together.
Hotel Villa Giulia offers a range of services geared toward relaxation on the lake: a private beach, pier, outdoor pool and spacious gardens with outdoor furniture are complemented by a spa with sauna, steam room, hot tub and an extensive menu of massages. Those wishing to stay active can rely on a gym, tennis court, bicycle rental and proximity to a golf course.
At the table, the on-site restaurant and bar with terrace also offer menus for special diets and the possibility of breakfast in the room, while concierge service, 24-hour reception and a shuttle service make the stay easier. The rooms are air-conditioned and equipped with satellite TV, internet connection and minibar.
Rounding out the offer are free parking with an electric vehicle charging station, laundry and ironing service, a safe and key access, for a stay that is practical as well as pleasant.

In summer, the lake is ideal for boat trips to the islands, swimming and water sports, while the hills behind the property, with Passo d’Ere about 6 km away, offer trekking and hiking routes through olive and lemon groves typical of the area. In autumn and spring, the villages along the western shore of Lake Garda, from Gargnano to Tignale, offer scenic walks and visits to historic villas such as Villa Bettoni, open to the public at certain times of the year.
