My husband and I recently stayed at Enjoy Garda Bike Hotel with a group of cycling friends from Australia. We were all absolutely blown away by the service from the moment we stepped in the door! We were made to feel extremely special and Nicola, Alberto, Mama Elvira, Pappy Lorenzo and all the wonderful staff made us feel so very welcome, it was truly wonderful! Our suite took it up an extra notch (if that was even possible) with a gorgeous jacuzzi, mood lighting, private sun lounge/balcony and an enormous round bed! It felt so good to immerse myself into that warm bubbling water after an amazing days cycling...which brings me to the rides and the guides! Every day three guided rides are posted, easy, medium and one to really get your heart going. So you can choose each day based on how you're feeling. The routes are absolutely spectacular, some around the base and beaches of the beautiful blue Lake Garda, some through the lush green vineyards of the region, but my favourites were through the mountains and tunnels, giving us the most spectacular views of the lake and the canyons. If you're up for it, the 'James Bond Ride' is particularly special, but I'll leave you to discover it for yourself! Coffee is a must on every ride and the wonderful guides including Michaela, Juisto, Andreas, David and of course Nicola and Alberto with Giuseppe driving the van...My husband and I recently stayed at Enjoy Garda Bike Hotel with a group of cycling friends from Australia.

Do yourself a favour and hire one of these babies...for the little bit of extra money your cycling experience will be heavenly! The family's background (many years ago before they became the amazing hoteliers that they are) was restauranteurs, so the food is absolutely gourmet and delicious, served in a buffet style, breakfast lunch and dinner with so much variety! I'm particularly fussy so I was so pleased to have such a choice for each and every meal! Mossimo, George and Rocco and the rest of the dining room staff were all fabulous too! I cannot rate this whole experience highly enough and we are already planning a return trip! BELLISIMO! 5 stars!
