Hotel Balze is situated way up high overlooking Lake Garda. We were situated on the 1st floor and had a triple room which had stunning views overlooking the lake from our private terrace. I was pleasantly surprised that the hotel photos are representative of the hotel. The room was spacious, clean and modern. The hotel has a great indoor swimming pool which has doors opening out to a sun terrace. Whenever we went to the pool it was not crowded. The sauna/spa facillities can be used free of charge with charges only for specific massages. Towelling robes, slippers and towels were provided free of charge. Swimwear is not allowed to be worn in the saunas. The breakfast buffet caters for all with great breads, cakes , cheese, hams, salamis, fresh fruits, yoghurts etc etc. Brits beware of the eggs which are labelled 'boiled' when actually they should be labelled 'for boiling' as there is a boiler available to boil your own. It's a little regimented that you have a specific table with your room number on it. If you like to visit local restaurants then they are mostly within a short drive although there are a couple within a few minutes walking distance (given the heat and gradient of the hills).
