We just returned from nearly a month in Italy which meant staying in multiple hotels, agriturismo…read morefarms, B&Bs and a medieval town. Hands down, we would put Locanda San Vigilio at the top of our favorite places to stay AND eat. The hotel has been in the same family for over 500 years, always a hotel and if our experience is evidence of the hospitality, always wonderful. The location could not be better as it is perched on a point, surrounded by water on three sides, on Lake Garda. Beautiful. The service is impeccable. We were greeted by the current owner/manager who welcomed us in the parking lot and escorted us to reception where all details were handled with efficiency and a smile. It made no difference who we encountered the interaction was always friendly. Imagine the best meal you have ever enjoyed, now double it. That was our experience in the restaurant. They have set my new standard for pasta, there is no way to describe how delicate my ravioli was, sublime. When we left I felt like we were leaving family behind. I would return in a heartbeat.

First off, the hotel is a great stay. The restaurant is located inside of the hotel. Staff is #1! I…read morework at a hotel, and the service we received was beyond anything I expected! Back to the restaurant, food was fantastic, great taste and flavor. It is not your typical menu, but ask about popular dishes and you won't be disappointed. We dined here 2 times and both times were phenomenal. Food 8 out of 5, service 10 out of 5 (I cannot put the service into words! Mr D and his staff create a dining experience for you. You never feel rushed and if you ask any questions they get answered. I had told Mr. D what I wanted, he recommended the prawn tempura and the chef special. Both dishes were fantastico!! So delicious and full of flavor. If you are looking for great fine, a great experience, and great food in Torri this is the place to reserve!

The Hotel is located very close to the Lago and has a nice pool. BUT the room was very old fashion…read more(90s style) and without a balcony. They buit a third bed out of a couch for us. It was not possible to sleep in that old, hard, unclean thing. It was horrible to find a parking place. The hotel one was to full and arround was no free and legal one to find. The "free" internet works only for 3 hours. Everything is without any love. At breakfast you felt like an animal in feed. Only bulk products, watery orange juice and tinned fruit. It was one of my worst stay in a european 4-stars Hotel.

Good clean hotel…read more Rooms quite modern look like they have been recently renovated. Only negative was the safe which was quite small and in the bottom of the wardrobe. Old style so you need to carry a key all the time and location makes it difficult to get in to ( I dropped the lid on my hand twice during the week). Rest of room good standard though. Aircon works well which is essential for the summer. TV only has news channels in English but never really found the time to watch it. Free wifi but from reception only. Drinks quite expensive EUR5 for a large beer, Supermarket nearby and minibar to keep drinks cool. Good location, easy walk along promenade into Bardolino. Some nice walks along the seafront to Lasise or Garda or hire a bike and cycle further. Use of the Mirabell lido across the promenade allows you to use a lilo near the lake free of charge and swim in the lake. Drinks cheaper there too. Nice large outdoor swimming pool for summer and smaller indoor one for winter. Gym looked good with modern equipment but did not use it. Restaurants have limited opening times so not a lot of flexibility when eating for dinner Limited vegetarian options not available in the Gourmet restaurant. Lunch good at grill bar so recommend swapping dinner for lunch which you can do if on half board then eat out for dinner. Staff friendly All in all recommended
