Villa Pioppi Hotel is set in an early 20th-century villa in Sirmione, on the shores of Lake Garda, surrounded by a two-hectare park with a sun terrace and panoramic pool. The property has a private mooring for guests arriving by boat and offers parking and Wi-Fi at no extra cost.
The rooms, all air-conditioned, come with a refrigerator, an LCD TV with satellite channels and a private bathroom; some retain wrought-iron beds and exposed wooden beam ceilings, while the larger room types open onto balconies or terraces with lake views. In the morning a sweet and savoury buffet breakfast is served, which can be enjoyed outdoors in fine weather, with hot dishes available on request.
The on-site snack bar and the numerous restaurants nearby round out the dining options. Sirmione Castle can be reached in about fifteen minutes on foot, making the property a convenient base for exploring Sirmione’s old town without giving up the quiet of the park and the lake.

Villa Pioppi Hotel offers three room types, all set within the historic villa and fitted with air conditioning, a private bathroom, an LCD TV with satellite channels and a refrigerator. Some rooms retain period details such as wrought-iron beds and exposed wooden beam ceilings, while others open onto balconies or terraces with views of Lake Garda.
The Double/Twin Room, at 27 sqm, is designed for two people and lets guests choose the bed configuration at the time of booking. The Quadruple Room, at 40 sqm, offers greater flexibility with alternative bed configurations and space for families or small groups. The Triple Room, also 40 sqm, stands out for its independent entrance, fireplace and pool view, as well as a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and a terrace with a lake view.
The most compact of the three room types, at 27 sqm, is designed for two people and air-conditioned, with an LCD TV with satellite channels and a refrigerator. Some units retain wrought-iron beds and exposed wooden beam ceilings, a period detail that recalls the villa’s origins.
At 40 sqm, this is the most spacious room type, suitable for families or small groups of up to four people. Most units have a balcony or terrace with a lake view, and the bed configuration can be chosen at the time of booking from two alternative layouts.
The only one of the three room types with an independent entrance and fireplace, this 40 sqm triple room also stands out for its pool view and private bathroom with a walk-in shower. The terrace with a lake view completes a room designed for those seeking more privacy.

Villa Pioppi Hotel is located in one of Sirmione’s most sought-after areas, just steps from Lido Galeazzi and Brema Beach, both about 700 metres away, where Lake Garda offers views over the Sirmione peninsula. The neighbourhood is residential yet lively, with restaurants and bars just minutes away on foot, and an atmosphere that blends the quiet of the villa’s park with the flow of visitors heading to the old town.

Desenzano del Garda-Sirmione railway station is 5 km away, while Verona-Villafranca Airport is 22 km away, convenient for those arriving by air. Within a few hundred metres there are several restaurants, including Ristorante Casa dei Pescatori just 100 metres away.

The proximity to Verona also makes the property a useful base for day trips to the city of Romeo and Juliet.
