Maximilian

Hotel Maximilian is in a lovely quiet location in Val di Sogno over looking the lake, we are a family of four and had two rooms overlooking the garden and lake. The staff (especially reception) were polite and helpful. The garden areas are very pretty and are well looked after and the rooms were large and very clean. We had breakfast each day which had plenty of choice from omelettes, fruits, pastries and yoghurts plus much more, we were offered tables out on the terrace with beautiful views but chose to sit inside as it wasn’t quite warm enough. The outside pool was down right cold and I did try it once but it took my breath away! I’m sure it’s perfect when it’s really hot though. There is also an inside pool which was bigger than I was expecting and a much easier temperature to be enjoyed! There is also a jacuzzi which we tried out, tucked away at the side of the gardens with lovely views of the lake again. I also tried the spa area and had a massage which was very lovely and something I’ve never done on holiday before. There is a bus stop very close to the hotel which we used to get the tourist bus into Malcesine and also along to Torbole and Riva and a spar shop even closer. The walk into Malcesine was a little longer than the 20 minute walk to at was advertised but a comfortable 30/35 minute walk along the promenade next to the lake, we were offered the hotel bikes to use but decided against these (I haven’t been on a bike for years and am not sure how good my balance is 😂)
