Hotel Flaminia - Sirmione, Italy 

Had just a week at this lovely little hotel. We were put in the newly decorated "feng shui" wing, large bedroom with slightly weird decor and beatifully appointed bathroom but as building is slightly set back does not give a full view of the lake. Returned to the desk clerk who was very helpful and though couldn't move us immediately did so very efficiently the next day to room in older part of the hotel, more traditional but perfectly comfortable and great view with little balcony so we were able to watch all the comings and goings of the ferries. The ferry stop is two minutes walk and a great way of getting to see all the other resorts on the lake. Sirmione is traffic free, lively,and perfect for people watching. Lots of restaurants, the one attached to the hotel pretty good and very friendly. If you order during the day they will bring out to the deck area for you, the same for drinks if the bar is not being manned. Nice breakfast with some hot food if you get there early enough. Air conditioning very good, quiet and easy to control.Staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at the Flaminia first week in Sept. We had a standard room with side lake view (you can upgrade to a room on the front of the hotel, however you are only 2 minutes away from the sundeck which has the same view) The room was spacious & clean with a good bathroom. The breakfast each morning was great, with a good selection & the added bonus of looking out over the lake while you eat. The location of the Hotel puts you right in the middle of all the action, 5 minutes from the ferry dock and bus station. There are plenty of restaurants & bars all within strolling distance (including the Hotels own restaurant) The staff were all very helpful & friendly. The sundeck was fantastic, you can take a dip in the lake, sunbathe or just check out the sunset. Great Hotel.
