Overview

 
Set between the blue shimmer of Lake Garda and the rollercoasters of Italy’s most famous theme park, Gardaland Hotel & Theme Park is purpose-built for families who want maximum fun with minimum faff. Think storybook-style buildings set in manicured gardens, a big lagoon pool, kids’ buffets and – the real hero – Gardaland theme park entrance included on selected holidays, plus a handy shuttle right to the gates.

Fairytale façades, turreted roofs and landscaped gardens give Gardaland Hotel & Theme Park a storybook feel before you’ve even checked in. Inside, families find spacious rooms, child-friendly dining and a lagoon-style pool – plus the huge bonus of Gardaland theme park tickets included on selected days, and a complimentary shuttle that whisks you to the rides in minutes. For families keen to pair Lake Garda’s scenery with serious theme-park thrills, Gardaland Hotel & Theme Park hits the sweet spot. You’re close enough to feel the buzz of the coasters, yet far enough for quiet evenings in the gardens or by the pool. It’s around 45 minutes from Verona airport. See more Italy holidays.

Map & location


Castelnuovo del Garda, Lake Garda, Italy

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.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 45 minutes (from Verona VRN)

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


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.

Spa, sports & wellness


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.

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.
