This hotel is set in one of the most perfect locations in Lake Garda. It has beautiful views of the lake and the stunning mountains (Monte Baldo). The complex is generally good - notably the swimming pools. The rooms however, are very basic and old fashioned and were very disappointing. Once we had moved to a room with a lake view, the view more than made up for it however, we were orginally facing a garden at the back of the hotel which was very dark and shaded. The food at this hotel was of a very poor standard, I definitely wouldn't recommend half board - we ate out every night after the first evening. The hotel and ttown was very popular with German tourists - this was frustrating at times as local people would talk to us in German before speaking in Italian and some places had more German food than Italian dishes! Limone itself is very quaint with lovely winding cobbled streets and lots of wonderful restaurants and bars on the lake. It was more reasonable than I had expected to eat out. We ate at Gemma's on the front which was very nice. We were also recommended a great place called La Cantina del Gato Borracho which offered traditional Italian food and wine - and from midnight fantastic live music. It is a hidden treasure! but be prepared to pay a bit more for food there. Overall a superb holiday location.

We have just returned from a week at the Royal Village and had a great time.

Reception staff were very helpful and check-in and out were speedy and efficient.

Our room had an absolutely amazing view. It was a little tired and the bathroom was very small but it had everything we needed and was always clean.

We enjoyed the pool facilities and there were always plenty of sun loungers. Although we had only booked half board we found there is a free bar serving wine and soft drinks during the day, a light lunch and also tea and cakes to die for in the afternoon. This really kept our costs down (and we could afford more cocktails in the evening!)

The dining room was not very romantic, and very 'canteen' style. However, they did have to cater for a lot of guests. We always found a table with the help of a friendly host and the staff were very efficient at keeping the tables clear. The food itself was lovely, always plenty of choice and beautifully cooked. And the salad bar was amazing.

We enjoyed the atmosphere in the bar at night, which always had live music or entertainment. The majority of bar staff were great, two in particular who really were friendly. The drinks came quickly and were always beautifully cold. (I suggest trying the local limoncino :))

The walk into Limone only takes a few minutes but is fairly steep on the way back for anyone with difficulties. However, the hotel runs a shuttle bus for one 1 Euro each which is great.

Overall, an excellent stay. Would definitely return.

We stayed for a week at the Royal Village. It's quite a large hotel complex split over several buildings, but never felt too large as a quiet road runs through the middle meaning it seems like a smaller place. There is a corridor under the road linking the two halves so it's quite safe.
The room we had was a usable size - not huge, but not so small you couldn't move around. We had air conditioning, a balcony, a tv, a mini bar and the bed was comfortable. The room was cleaned well daily.
There are several pools scattered around, and the outdoor ones were very busy during the day. The indoor one was much quieter and we tended to use this. A lot of visitors seemed content to stay aroudn the hotel pools all day and never leave, and they were well catered for with free soft drinks and wine all day, with free snacks in the afternoon. We preferred to hire a car and go exploring the lake however. The least enjoyable thing about the hotel was probably meals. They are served "buffet style" and generally it's something of a free-for-all to grab a table and get to the food. Once we worked out the system it wasn't too bad though, and the food was perfectly edible if not to a gourmet standard. Be warned though, I don't think I saw a single chip the whole time!

Lake Garda (and Limone) are beautiful however, and highly recommended. The Royal Village makes a good base although those of a less-fit nature should know the walk back up to the hotel is a bit of a killer. The hotel do run a taxi service for 1 euro from the lakeside during the evening though, so it's not really a problem.

We have just returned from a week at the Royal Village Hotel in Limone , and we cannot recomend it highly enough (booked with Inhgams as a package deal). The outdoor pools were spotless (cleaned every morning) and the food was excellent, we chose the buffet option in the main restaurant. Tinned Fruit?. Yes , there was tinned fruit avaibale(my wife enjoyed it with Yoghurt at Breakfast )but what about the fresh fruit on one table (in bowls of cold water) and the array of cakes and desserts on the main buffet area .The staff were friendly and helpful and the animation team (4 girls) all worked very hard to entertain.The hotel is up a steep hill, but there is a shuttle bus (1 euro).
all in all an excellent choice for families,
