Locanda Bella Italia
Infinity pool and garden calm six kilometres from Gardaland
About this hotel
Locanda Bella Italia occupies a converted countryside inn in Castelnuovo del Garda, built around an infinity swimming pool, sun terrace and lush garden that give the property a genuinely different feel from the theme-park hotel strip closer to Gardaland's gates. Rooms are air-conditioned with garden views, a work desk and free toiletries, and the restaurant and bar add massage services for parents wanting an actual wind-down evening. A continental and Italian breakfast with fresh pastries, cheese and fruit covers special diet menus too, useful for families managing food preferences. Castello di Castelnuovo del Garda sits a twelve-minute walk away, and Gardaland itself is a six-kilometre drive, close enough for a park day but far enough to feel like a genuine break each evening.

Our take
This suits families and couples wanting a quieter, more design-led base with an actual infinity pool and massage services, ideal for a rest day between Gardaland visits. It works less well for anyone wanting to walk straight to the park gates, given the six-kilometre drive required. Book it for the pool and calm atmosphere, plan the drive into your park days.
- ✓Use the infinity pool and garden for a dedicated rest day between Gardaland visits, rather than trying to fit it around a full park schedule.
- ✓Book a massage in advance if travelling as a couple or wanting a genuine evening wind-down after a day of queues.
- ✓Ask about the special diet breakfast menus at booking if managing food allergies or preferences for the group.

Why guests love itWe booked a rest day here midweek specifically to use the infinity pool, and it turned out to be exactly the break we needed after two straight days at Gardaland. The garden setting felt worlds away from the theme-park strip despite being only a six-kilometre drive, and the special diet breakfast options meant our gluten-free child could actually relax at the table instead of us pre-planning every meal.
