Olivi Hotel & Natural Spa Reviews

Excellent, friendly and relaxed hotel in a beautiful location. We had the balcony room with fantastic views of Lake Garda and Sirmione. Staff were really friendly and made everyone feel as you’d expect from a top hotel. The decor and finishes throughout were first class and spotless. Pet friendly also, now that’s making the difference. So nice. Highly recommended and we will revisit ASAP.

We’re a family of four, first visit to Italy and had the best welcome here. The hotel is very chic, the rooms are comfortable and all of the staff were friendly and super helpful. The outdoor pool is a great place to hang out, meanwhile you’re only a few minutes walk away from the heart of Sirmione. Sirmione is gorgeous but gets very busy by midday (4th most popular tourist spot in Italy apparently). The hotel is placed perfectly though as it’s tucked out of the way of the throngs. Great base to explore more of Lake Garda which has so many varied and beautiful spots to visit and things to do - recommend a trip to Verona and also worth hiring a bike to see more of things up close. It’s a cliche but it’s true, the food was exceptional pretty much everywhere - special nod again to the staff of the Olivi, the catering staff were a delight to all of us - our kids really appreciated their attention and humour. Absolute treat, brilliant staff and a credit to Sirmione.

The hotel Olivi and the resort of Sirmione were both brilliant. Beautiful old town with so many nice cafe's and restaurants. The hotel is on about 5-6 minutes walk from the town centre. The holiday was just so relaxing and we enjoyed ferries to other towns on the lake. We will be going back in the future

The hotel has exceeded our expectations. The food offering was delicious, varied and the restaurant staff extremely welcoming and accommodating. Access to the spa each day as part of our package was a perfect addition. The rooms were comfortable and the views very pleasing. Some constructive feedback would be the following: Reception staff need to offer to help with luggage. Climbing the steps up to Reception then to our room after being up for almost 20 hours was a challenge and the offer to do so for us both on arrival and departure would have been nice. Reception staff should ask whether you’ve enjoyed your stay. It’s the little touches that matter. The night manager needs to be little more hospitable and friendly. His attitude this morning has tainted our stay which is a great shame. We forgot to order a takeaway breakfast last night in preparation for our early departure, there was no offer to try and source a piece of bread for us Toiletries in the room need to be reviewed. We stayed for a week and was provided with a square inch of soap to last us. The teeny bottles need to be replaced with larger refillable ones which are better for the environment. Bottled water should be provided free of charge. Tea and coffee should be provided for in the rooms as a matter of course. To charge 1 euro for a cheap sachet of Nescafé is disappointing.

Very disappointed with our visit today we arrived at 9.30am to be told the spa opens at 12 ok fair enough we go off for some breakfast and come back to the spa where we are told the steam room and sauna etc aren’t open til 2pm, so we have a long leisurely swim and get out ready to try steam room and sauna only to be told they open at 3pm !!!!! Honestly sooo disappointing we paid 40 euros each for just a swim - shocking service !!! Why is it not just open all day or at the very least made clear when you enquire totally ripped off avoid avoid avoid

Hotel Olivi is wonderful. The outstanding feature is the warmth, friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Although everyone at the hotel were excellent in their dealings with us there were two individuals who shone. Damin and Alessandro work in the restaurant and were incredibly friendly and helpful every time we went down for breakfast. Overall the hotel is very clean and well tended. Our room was comfortable and cleaned every day. We used the spa on one day. It is excellent! W cannot recommend Olivi highly enough.

Having read the reviews, we were expecting a warm welcome to the Hotel Olivi. Far from it!! Reception staff on our arrival watched us struggle with heavy suitcases up the steep flight of steps to be told "women pack too much stuff". Very rude. It continued in that vain throughout the duration of our 7 day stay. Room 135 was allocated to us as a Superior Lake Side Room. Superior it was not! The same front of house man reluctantly admitted it wasn't an upgraded room, and after standing our ground, agreed to change our room the following day. This seems to be the trick they play on English woman, as we were informed by other holiday makers. The Breakfast staff were less than helpful and took 30 minutes for an omelette to arrive. To pay 10 euros extra is cheeky when you have already paid for breakfast. If you want fruit salad, again another payment. The hotel surroundings and hotel itself has been tastefully modernised, but the staff let it down. They could also do with on site plumber as may people complained about the showers not working, our toilet was intermittent. Would not recommend this hotel and suggest that they all be sent on a customer service course (excluding the cats who were well behaved!)

This is an excellent hotel and one of the best I have stayed in in Italy. The staff were so friendly and professional. The pool area and gardens were amazing. Also the terrace to eat breakfast and dinner was just perfect. Definitely will be returning again. Sirmione a great place to visit.

The Olivi Hotel is an amazing choice for staying on Lake Garda, it felt so calm and relaxed but oozed luxury and modernity. We came for 7 nights for our honeymoon, had a lovely room with balcony overlooking the pool and lake. The staff made this hotel a fabulous experience, so attentive and helpful. It's also worth noting the many cats that live on site, friendly but they keep their distance too, so no worries to anyone with allergies/a dislike of them. The spa is a nice addition, particularly if it's an overcast day and you fancy the indoor pool area. Breakfast was great, so much choice and the waiters did a great job to try and remember your order each day. Just a shame a few of the options came with a surcharge which felt a little unnecessary if youve already paid a fair amount for breakfast (omelettes etc). My only two criticisms is the coffee/tea in the room is not replenished each day, you would have to pay an additional charge for this. And the pool closes at 7pm, in the summer when for us in June at this time it is still sunny it felt a shame to have to vacate the area. An evening swim would have gone down a treat on those muggy hot evenings. Only a 5/10 minute walk into the center so perfectly placed for catching buses/ferry and countless places nearby to eat and drink. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the Olivi to anyone visiting Lake Garda and Sirmione 🙂

We had the most amazing stay and cannot wait to return. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by reception to the pianist at breakfast on Sunday to the sweeties every evening on our pillow! Every member of staff were delightful, helpful and nothing was too much trouble, the food quality was superb and the pool and spa area delightful.

Absolutely amazing hotel ✨️ peaceful and spotless wonderful staff and food My daughter surprised me with a weeks stay for my 60th birthday and it totally lived up to our expectations Location fab and spa was out of this world The only thing I could complain about was the coffee was never replaced when room was cleaned so I would have to ask for more sachets 😅 I would definitely recommend a stay here for some spoiling I was a little disappointed that my daughter had told them it was a special birthday for me and no one even wished me a happy birthday 😕 I would probably suggest maybe just a little more interest in your guests I would absolutely 💯 stay here again

We stayed for seven nights on an extended tour package using this hotel as a central resting place. It couldn't have been better situated - excellent views out across the lake, attentive helpful and cheerful staff with an eye to quality. as will be seen from the array of photographs so many amenities on-site and at the quieter end of Sirmione.

Absolutely lovely hotel, fabulous staff and the spa is amazing. Location is great and we had an amazing time. Breakfast buffet was great and set us up for the day of exploring. Local buses were easy to use and ran every hour. We will definitely be booking again.

Sirmione is an unbelievable place and the Hotel Olivi is the place to be, also as we were told by the locals. The hotel is uniquely positioned to enjoy all that Sirmione has to offer, especially the hotel spa!!
