Overview

 
Set on a peaceful hillside above Garda town, Poiano Resort Apartments blend self-catering freedom with the facilities of a classic Lake Garda resort. Think an Olympic-size pool with mountain views, a choice of sports courts, kids’ club and playground, plus a handy shuttle down to the lakeside promenade. It’s a flexible base for families and active couples who want space, scenery and facilities without being in the thick of the crowds.

The apartments at Poiano sit in landscaped grounds dotted with cypress and olive trees, looking out towards glittering Lake Garda and the surrounding mountains. Days revolve around the impressive Olympic-size pool, leisurely meals at the on-site restaurant, and trying out everything from tennis and football to a session in the spa. Families get plenty of space and practical touches, while couples will appreciate the quiet, green setting a short hop from charming Garda town. For couples and families seeking Lake Garda’s lake-and-mountain charm with room to breathe, Poiano Resort Apartments deliver an easy-going mix of self-catering comfort and resort-style facilities in a quiet hillside location. It’s around 1 hour 15 minutes from Verona airport. See more Italy holidays.

Map & location


Garda, Lake Garda, Italy

Poiano Resort Apartments occupy a peaceful hillside position above the eastern shore of Lake Garda, surrounded by vineyards, cypress trees and Mediterranean gardens. You’re just outside the colourful fishing village of Garda, a fantastic base for exploring the lake by boat, bus or hire car.

Down on the waterfront you’ll find a long promenade, pavement cafés and gelaterias, while inland the slopes rise towards Monte Baldo and classic Veneto wine country. The setting feels calm and residential, but with easy access to lakeside life when you want it.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour 15 minutes from Verona (VRN) by road.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Poiano is all about outdoor time, and the pools are a real focal point.

• Huge Olympic-size outdoor freshwater pool with lanes and wide sunbathing terraces, framed by views of the surrounding hills
• Separate outdoor children’s pool so little ones have their own shallow splash area
• Indoor heated saltwater pool with whirlpool, located in the spa and reserved for adults

Sunbeds and parasols are set around the outdoor pools, and pool towels are available for a refundable deposit. Use of the indoor pool is chargeable and operates set opening times and age restrictions. Facilities and dates can vary by season.

There’s no direct beach here – instead, Garda’s lakeside promenade and small shingle and platform bathing spots are a short shuttle ride away, perfect for lake swims and boat trips.

Food & drink

You may be staying self-catering, but you’ve got the bonus of on-site dining when you want a night off cooking. The main restaurant serves Italian and local dishes with buffet and à la carte options for breakfast, lunch and dinner, along with a children’s menu and highchairs for younger guests.

Two bars keep you refreshed throughout the day: a pool bar for laid-back drinks between dips (typically open mid-April to mid-September), and a piano bar that’s ideal for an aperitivo or nightcap after exploring Garda.

A smart-casual dress code usually applies in the restaurant (no beachwear; long trousers requested for gentlemen in the evening). Reservations, opening times and any supplements can vary by season and board basis.

You can book Poiano Resort Apartments on a Self Catering, Bed and Breakfast, or Half Board basis.

Yes, apartments at Poiano Resort typically include air conditioning, which is usually in operation between 01 June and 01 September (dates can vary depending on weather and resort policy).
