Boutique Hotel Corte Malaspina
Spa treatments in a medieval village near three parks
About this hotel
Boutique Hotel Corte Malaspina occupies a renovated country house in Sandrà's medieval village, a genuinely different atmosphere from the theme-park hotel strip closer to Gardaland's gates, with spa and wellness packages that few other properties in this cluster offer. Air-conditioned rooms feature a flat-screen TV and private bathroom, some with sloping wooden ceilings that lean into the historic character of the building, while a buffet breakfast starts each morning. Gardaland, Movieland and Parco Natura Viva theme parks all sit within a fifteen-minute drive, and discounted tickets for all three are bookable directly at reception, a genuine convenience for a multi-park trip. The inner courtyard and city views from some rooms add to the sense of staying somewhere with real character rather than a standard hotel block. Malaspina Corte itself is a fifteen-minute drive from Peschiera del Garda and Lake Garda, rounding out a location built for exploring the wider area rather than a single park.
- Spa and wellness packages
- Medieval village setting
- Free parking
- Fifteen minutes from three theme parks
Our take
This suits couples and families wanting spa treatments and genuine historic character alongside convenient access to three separate theme parks. It works less well for anyone wanting to walk to Gardaland directly, given the fifteen-minute drive required to reach any of the parks. Book it for the wellness packages and medieval setting, plan the driving into your itinerary.
- ✓Book a spa or wellness package in advance if that is part of your reason for choosing this hotel over the theme-park resorts.
- ✓Ask reception about discounted tickets for Gardaland, Movieland and Parco Natura Viva before buying at the gate.
- ✓Request a room with sloping wooden ceilings or a courtyard view if the historic character of the building matters to your stay.
Why we love it
- Spa and wellness packages available

Why guests love itWe booked a couples' massage here on our one evening without the kids, thanks to grandparents watching them, and the medieval building made the whole evening feel like an actual escape rather than a theme-park break. Reception sorted our discounted Gardaland and Movieland tickets in a few minutes, which saved us both money and a queue at the gate. The fifteen-minute drive to each park felt worth it for how different the hotel felt from the resort strip.
