10/10
An almost perfect stay at Pavillon.
There is a lot to love about this hotel. We were in a ‘penthouse’ canal view room.
The whole building is beautiful, the room is massive.
Location is excellent. 5 min walk to the ferry that connects you to the rest of Lake Garda, 15 min walk to the train station for day trips to Verona, Milan, Venice. 20 min taxi to Verona airport. Peschiera itself is also beautiful.
Breakfast was great. We ate whilst looking over the canal. Maria and Nicole were both amazing, helping us with the menu and letting us try out our broken Italian! The food is good - there is more variation than first appears on the menu, as you can tailor things.
But I said ‘almost’ perfect, so the less perfect:
The ‘canal view’. You will only get the view while standing because of how the balcony works. You can’t sit on the balcony with a view, nor while in the Jacuzzi.
The Jacuzzi itself. The touch screen panel is on the side and is covered in water as soon as you get into the jacuzzi, making it hard to use.
The lights in the room. Takes a while to work out the controls!
The service - the people are amazing. But often difficult to find someone on reception, as staff are shared between the restaurant and hotel.
But, overall, would stay again. Maria and Nicole definitely the stars of the hotel, and the peaceful breakfasts overlooking the canal were a highlight of our trip.
