Gardaland Hotel & Theme Park sits in Castelnuovo del Garda, on the sunny south-eastern shores of Lake Garda. It’s tucked among rolling fields and vineyards, in a quiet spot a short hop from the lake and just a couple of kilometres from the iconic Gardaland theme park itself.

Use it as your base for park days, boat trips and day escapes to medieval Peschiera del Garda or romantic Verona – both within easy reach by car or local transport. This is an ideal location if you want fun for the kids with classic Italian scenery and food for the grown-ups.

Castelnuovo del Garda, Lake Garda, Italy

Wonder Restaurant is the main buffet venue, serving breakfast and dinner with a mix of Italian favourites and international crowd-pleasers. Families are well looked after with highchairs, a dedicated kids’ buffet and children’s menu options, so even fussy eaters can fill up before or after a big day at the park.

For drinks and lighter bites, Wonder Bar and the snack bar keep things casual from morning until late evening, pouring everything from coffees to cocktails alongside simple snacks. A smart-casual dress code may apply in the evenings and opening times can vary by season. Reservations or supplements can apply depending on your chosen board basis; check details locally.

The hotel’s centrepiece is its large lagoon-style outdoor freshwater pool, fringed by terraces with sunbeds and parasols. Kids have their own shallow section to splash in, while grown-ups can relax in whirlpool zones built into the pool. Pool towels are available for a small local charge and a swimming-cap rule may apply, in line with local regulations.

The pool usually operates in the main summer season (typically late May to early September; exact dates can vary with weather and occupancy). While there’s no beach on-site, the shores of Lake Garda and small lakeside lidos are an easy drive away, giving you the best of both pool-and-lake days.

Gardaland Hotel & Theme Park is all about family fun and convenience rather than heavy sports or spa facilities. Days are usually spent between the pool, the hotel’s gardens and – of course – the nearby Gardaland theme park, with its mix of rollercoasters, gentle rides, themed zones and shows for all ages.

On site, you’ll find a 24-hour reception and concierge-style support to help with local tips, tickets and transport. Shuttle buses link the hotel with Gardaland theme park daily when the park is open, and you can also arrange access to LEGOLAND® Waterpark at Gardaland (payable locally; seasonal opening). Exact seasonal schedules and services are subject to change, so check the latest on arrival.

Classic Double Room
Classic rooms are ideal for small families, typically sleeping 2–3 people. They come with either a double bed or twin beds, plus a sofa bed when occupied by three guests. Decor is traditional and comfortable, suited to days spent out and about at the park.

In-room amenities usually include:
• Flat-screen TV
• Free Wi-Fi
• Safety deposit box
• Hairdryer
• Fridge
• Bathroom with bath and shower attachment
• Air conditioning
• Daily cleaning, with towel change on request

Cots can generally be provided for infants for a local charge (budget around €15 per night).

Castelnuovo del Garda sits on Lake Garda’s south-eastern shore, around 15km from Verona. The area mixes gentle countryside, lakeside promenades and historic towns with big-name attractions like Gardaland. Italian is the main language and the local currency is the Euro (€). The time difference from the UK is typically +1 hour, with average flight times of around 2.5 hours from UK airports to Verona (VRN).

Car hire is strongly recommended if you’d like to explore lakeside towns, vineyards and Verona at your own pace, especially outside peak theme-park hours.

Some facilities, outdoor pools and park services are seasonal, weather dependent or subject to occupancy, and may open or close without prior notice. Local charges can apply for items like cots, pool towels, hire equipment and certain activities.
