Hotel overview

Perched on a hillside overlooking Lake Garda, this casual 3-star hotel offers sweeping views of the iconic Scaliger Castle and is just steps away from the Monte Baldo cable car. The relaxed ambiance invites guests to unwind in a garden setting featuring a hot tub and a sauna, perfect for easing after a day exploring the lakeside town of Malcesine. Rooms range from modern and clean spaces with balconies inviting lake vistas to quieter interiors overlooking leafy surroundings.

A standout feature is the included breakfast served on the outdoor patio, offering a variety of choices that guests have praised for both quality and abundance. Though some visitors note street noise near family rooms, the central location grants easy access to local attractions, including medieval castles and scenic mountain roads. Facilities like free Wi-Fi and an on-site restaurant complement the stay, while the absence of an airport shuttle and fitness center suits travelers prioritizing exploration over transit support or gym amenities.

“The Eco Hotel Ariston was just as the majority of the previous ratings described it. It was in a perfect location (near the Monte Baldo cable car & a short walk to town). It has clean & modern rooms (we had a lake & castle view for our 5 night stay in late August) and a really wonderful staff. The front desk team was great as were the kitchen staff that served amazing breakfasts each day. The outdoor covered patio was great for breakfast. All staff were super friendly and super helpful.”

“Fantastic place to stay due to its location and the garden with the warm salt water swimming pool.”

“Great location close to Malcesine center, spacious room with balcony and small fridge. Unfortunately only looking out on the roof below and tree in front and it was very noisy at evenings and early mornings (from room 8, close to family rooms). Bikes and bike park are available for free. Very extensive and delicious breakfast options. The instant bitter machine coffee was a very un-Italian coffee to us. They serve just breakfast but drinks can be ordered any time of the day as well. A lot more money can be earned if that’s offered actively at the terrace/sunbathing area. Massages are possible for €75 and sauna is available as well (paid). Eco? Every day towels were replaced without being on the floor. A plastic bottle we reuse has been thrown away. No coffee/tea possibility in the room so we brought our own. Charging your car is possible but just at night and for €30. Also for plugin hybrids. This really made us very unhappy.”
