About Hotel Bellevue San Lorenzo

It’s hard to choose our favourite thing about Hotel Bellevue San Lorenzo. It’s a close call between the infinity pool that looks out over the lake and the gardens, and the spa with a Turkish bath, sauna and sensory showers.

When you arrive you'll find it hard not to be impressed. Beautiful lawns surround six classic Italian villas. The rooms are either in the villas or the main building and are light and airy. Upgrade to one with a lake view and balcony if you can. The restaurant's fantastic and serves proper Italian food including fresh fish and risotto.

Things to do in Malcesine

The Verona Opera is definitely one for the bucket list! The season runs from mid-June to early-September and covers all the classics including Aida by Verdi or Turnadot by Puccini. Whichever performance you choose; you’ll have an incredible evening.

Scaligero Castle, Malcesine, Lake Garda

Scaligero Castle is a must-see in Malcesine. It’s been there since the 13th Century so history buffs will love walking around and reading about it’s interesting past. Head to museum to find out more. Before you go back into town, make the climb to the top of the tower where the lake views are incredible – don’t forget your camera.

Palazzo dei Capitani is probably the second most important historic building in the town. In the 15th Century it was the headquarters for the Venetian rulers of the area. It’s close to the harbour and once you’ve finished exploring inside, you can admire the lake views from the gardens.

If you want to learn more about the history and culture of the area, why not head to a museum. There are a few to choose from including, the Lake Museum or the Museum of Natural History of Monte Baldo.

When on your family holiday Malcesine, you can't miss the famous Scaligero Castle in the town- this is a great opportunity to teach youngsters a bit of history. It's a great town if you want to go for a family walk, stroll along the lakeside or by head up to Monte Baldo on the cable car; see if you can spot the paragliders flying over Monte Baldo as you go along. The views from the top of Monte Baldo are fantastic!

If you're a food loving family then make sure you try Malcesine's famous spit-roasted chicken and chips at the Speck Stube. Here you'll enjoy some al fresco dining on tressle tables in a large garden area with a playground for children to run around in. For dessert, grab an ice-cream by the lake- there are some fantastic artisanal ice-cream shops in the old town, why not buy a cone and walk around the cobbled streets.

If you're looking for some evening entertainment with the young ones, Malcesine occasionally hosts local evenings dedicated to children (mid-July onwards) which feature children's entertainment including magic shows at the 'Padre Mario Casella' gardens. 

It’s almost impossible to resist taking to the water in Malcesine. Paddle boarding is a great activity for everyone and gives you a unique view of the town. Get more serious and take a sailing or kite surfing course. It’s always nice to come back from holiday with a few new skills.

If cycling's more your speed, there’s nothing quite like jumping on your saddle and peddling along side Lake Garda. It’s such a relaxing thing to do and a great way to build up your appetite! We'd recommend a leisurely bike ride along the shore to one of Malcesine’s nearby resorts where you can stop for lunch. If all that sounds a bit tame, then take to the sky. The top of Monte Baldo has some great, thrill-seeking routes down the mountain.
