- Restaurant serves four-course meals for dinner; half-board options available
- Free buffet breakfast of hot and cold items

Bottom Line
The three-pearl Hotel Villa Dirce offers great view after great view of Lake Garda from its public spaces and rooms. The outdoor pool and hot tub, as well as the restaurant, all take advantage of the stunning views, so it’s a shame to report that the rooms and public spaces have a very simple and dated style. Though a free hot and cold breakfast are well-liked, as are free Wi-Fi and parking, the hotel isn’t very mobility friendly and is located about a 20-minute walk from Limone Sul Garda. Hotel Le Palme may also dated rooms, but it’s a good alternative with similar amenities, and is closer to the city center of Limone Sul Garda.

Scene
Impressive views of Lake Garda from all spaces is diminished a bit by dated decor throughout
Hotel Villa Dirce stands out for its impressive location along a cliff that overlooks the beautiful Lake Garda. With stunning views from most public spaces and all rooms, the interior decor is a bit of a let-down in its datedness, and definitely not four-pearl quality as the hotel advertises. Glossy floors and a heavy focus on wooden furniture is present throughout. The lobby features blue and white sponged walls that takes away from the elegant affect of the curved archways and great views. The terraces are by far the most outstanding areas with modern brown outdoor furniture and charming umbrellas for shade. Staff are reportedly friendly and helpful, a great aspect to this homey boutique hotel that attracts a clientele of mostly couples.
Location
Connected to Limone Sul Garda by shuttle bus or a 20-minute walk
Hotel Villa Dirce has a quiet cliffside location that’s about a 20-minute walk from the historic center of Limone Sul Garda. With lots of steps around the hotel and such a far walk to the city, it’s not well-suited for people with mobility issues, despite the fact that there is a shuttle bus service to and from the city center (that costs a small fee). The nearest bus stop take about a four-minute walk to reach. The closest dining options are about a 12-minute walk away. As far as things to do in the area, Sopino Wasserfall -- a beautiful waterfall -- takes 12 minutes to reach on foot. It’s about an hour and 15-minute drive to Aeroporto Brescia Montichiari.
Rooms
Simple rooms cover the basics like mini-fridges and flat-screen TVs
With such stunning lake views from the rooms' balconies, it’s a bit of a shame that the interiors are simple and dated in style. The dark blue bedding and curtains with floral designs do provide some color to the tan walls and cream tiled floors, but it doesn’t hide the fact that the blond wooden furniture is out of fashion. All rooms are air-conditioned and come with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, free Wi-Fi, and safes that require a refundable deposit. The pale-pink tile of the bathrooms feel a few decades old, even though most appliances are up-to-date. There are small showers in the bathrooms and simple toiletries, as well as old-fashioned hairdryers.
Features
A mix of leisure activities like an outdoor pool and half-board dining options
Features at this hotel are limited and guests will need to go off-site to fill their time. However, the hotel does have a wonderful pool and hot tub area filled with loungers that offers great lake views. As for dining options, the hotel offers half-board plans that include a breakfast buffet of hot and cold items like bacon and eggs in the morning, and a four-course meal in the evenings. Like the pool, the restaurant has great views from some tables placed next to large windows. There are free Wi-Fi and parking on-site.
