Hotel Villa Katy

A lovely welcome when we arrived. Room very spacious - we stayed in 205 on the second floor. The lower floor has terraces straight onto the pool area which we didn’t want so asked for an upper floor room. The hotel is small, only 14 rooms. We walked into Bardolino on our first night - although a totally flat walk it was 29 degrees with no wind - we’re fit & healthy but it look us 40 mins. Which we thought was too far each night! We were considering taxis but the hotel hire cycles - €10 for the full day or free for half a day. So we cycled in every night after that. It was fab - a lovely gentle ride that took 7 mins. Just locked the bikes up at the Bardolino front - you can’t miss it, there are loads of bikes there. Aldo cycled to Lazise which was lovely too in the opposite direction. You can pick up the ferry to Simione at the local stop Cisano. Pool area is lovely, clean & the owner deliver drinks & snacks to your sunbeds. It was Faragusto festival (15th Aug) whilst we’re were there & the owners did a complementary buffet & drinks at lunch. Dogs are also welcome as there were 3 dogs staying whilst we were there.

Villa Katy is a hidden gem. We were initially concerned that it would be too far from Bardolino but the location was just perfect. It’s a 20 minute walk along the lake to Bardolino or around 30 minutes to Lazise making Villa Katy the ideal location. The rooms are spotless and very well equipped. The staff really make this place special. Sonia and Sylvia were so good in helping us with trips to Venice, Verona and Sirmione. The lady at breakfast was so lovely and greeted you every day with a big smile. Breakfast was great too. Nice small pool area with plenty of sun beds. We normally stay in 5 star hotels when we go on holiday but the service here is better than some 5 star hotels we have stayed it. Literally nothing was too much trouble. Thank you again and we will definitely return next year.

Clean, friendly, accommodating. From arrival you feel welcome. The twins and their staff are only too happy to assist with any request. The view of Lake Garda from the terrace is fantastic. Good transport links not to be missed. An absolute hidden gem.

Brilliant stay at villa Katy again. Room spotless, view from breakfast room amazing, we had a lovely view of the mountains and a side view of lake, room spacious and well decorated. Sonia and Sylvia are so helpful and friendly, all staff so kind and excellent at their job, special mention to breakfast staff who went out of their way to provide anything you may need. Have recommended this hotel to so many people. Excellent location.
