Hotel Garni Orchidea

A family-run three-star garni hotel in an olive grove above Malcesine with a pool, private parking and a breakfast with eggs made to order.

Why people love it

• Breakfast. Guests describe a plentiful, varied buffet with eggs freshly cooked to order, and one August 2026 guest says the owner serves scrambled eggs.
• Pool and grounds. Reviewers mention a new, clean pool, loungers under olive trees and well-kept gardens.
• Peace and quiet. Several 2026 guests describe peace and quiet and relaxing by the pool.
• Owners and staff. Owner Cristian and his staff are called friendly and welcoming. A June 2026 guest noted the warm welcome at reception.

The worst thing guests say

In August 2024 a stayer gave 3 stars because the room had no lake view and overlooked a new construction site. A 2023 guest said road noise starts around 6 am. Older reviews mention a closed buffet for a guest who couldn't wear a mask (2021) and an unclean bathroom (2021). No similar complaint appears in 2026.

Insider tips

• Malcesine is a 20 to 30 minute walk, so a bus or car helps. A bus stops in front, according to a 2018 guest.
• The road is narrow and has no sidewalks, which matters with small children.
• Ask about a lake-view room if you want one.
