On the minus side,the driver should have dropped me off at reception at the top but instead i had to drag my luggage all the way up steep steps in the dark.Not the hotel's fault,but not a very auspicious start.Also,the couple that run the hotel hardly spoke any English.A lady who could speak English turned up the next day to check me in and explain a few things but that was the only time i saw her during my stay.She was also supposed to book my transfer back to the airport but didn't even do that.I had to get the patron,Maria, to sort it out for me.The hotel provides free WIFI but the connection kept dropping and the signal was very weak.
On the plus side,despite Maria's lack of English,she was very willing to help.Rooms were nice,breakfast OK(catered more towards Italian/German tastes),setting was beautiful.There is also a lovely restaurant a couple of minutes from the hotel right by the lake.The food there was very good and if you go at the right time of day you can see the sun setting behind the mountains across the lake.If you don't have a car,as i didn't,don't rely too much on public transport.They seem to run to their own timetable.You can hire a bike from Torri del Benaco which is about 5km or so from the hotel.
