“Basic, but wonderful location and friendly staff”
We found the staff here very friendly and helpful. Yes, the decor could be a little more up-to-date, but this is remarkably cheap for a hotel with not only a sea view, but actually slap bang on the lakeside with nothing but a promenade in front of the hotel. And it's about thirty seconds from the boat stop as well; Gardonne is well placed for exploring the lake by boat as it is roughly equidistant from the main sights of the northern lake (Riva, Limone, Malcesine) and the southern lake (Garda, Bardolino, Sirmione). Dinner looked reasonable, although we stayed clear as it was very busy - even in the off season - which is a good thing! Hey, one couple were even having their wedding reception here...
