This small, friendly hotel provides stunning lake views, surrounded by 6 hectares of olive groves in the Lake Garda national park. The Florida Residence is owned and run by the Cipani family, who have been hoteliers since 1956. Here you’ll be surrounded by the lemons, mandarins, oranges and grapefruits that grow in the area according to age-old traditions. Set among bougainvillea, oleanders and colourful geraniums are an open swimming pool and a small children’s pool. There is also a spacious terrace for sunbathing and games, with outdoor giant chess, table tennis and a barbecue. For those who enjoy good food, evenings can be spent sampling some delicious local specialities, while the hotel staff will always be happy to recommend and reserve some lovely romantic lakeside restaurants, or cheerful trattorias hidden up in the hills.
