Location & what to see

Hotel Villa Smeralda is situated along quiet Via Panoramica in Malcesine, in a private hillside location surrounded by olive groves typical of the eastern shore of Lake Garda in Veneto. Located just 750 metres from the pedestrian historic centre of Malcesine, the property provides a pleasant location that combines natural tranquility with proximity to main services. Just a short distance from the hotel are several local dining spots, such as Ristorante Baita dei Forti 100 metres away, Pizzeria Caminetto 250 metres away and restaurant Villa Emma just 150 metres away, as well as historic wine bars in the town such as Enoteca Malcesine located 600 metres away.
