Overview

 
Cradled in the green hills above Lake Garda, Poiano Resort Hotel is a classic Italian hideaway made for active days and laid-back evenings. Think cypress and olive trees, vineyard views and a sweeping Olympic-size pool, backed up by tennis courts, a spa with indoor pool and a free shuttle down to Garda’s pretty lakeside promenade. With kids’ facilities and grown-up spaces, it works as well for couples as for fun-loving families.

Set in lush Mediterranean gardens above Garda town, Poiano Resort Hotel pairs big-resort facilities with wide-open views of Lake Garda and the surrounding mountains. The Olympic-size pool is the showstopper, but days easily fill with tennis, padel, a round at the driving range or an hour in the spa. When you’re ready for gelato and lakeside strolls, hop on the free shuttle down to Garda’s colourful harbour and promenade. For couples and families seeking Lake Garda’s charm with space to breathe, Poiano Resort Hotel delivers the perfect balance: hillside tranquillity, big-sky views and resort-style facilities, just a short ride from the lakefront. It’s around 1 hour 15 minutes from Verona airport. See more Italy holidays.

Stroll 300m to local restaurants for low-key dinners, or head down to Garda’s colourful harbour, café-lined promenade and boat jetties for ferries to Bardolino, Sirmione and beyond. The resort’s elevated position keeps it peaceful, while the complimentary shuttle means you’re never far from the lakefront buzz.

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

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Poiano’s centrepiece is its huge Olympic-size outdoor freshwater pool, set on a wide sun terrace with loungers and parasols – made for morning laps or lazy afternoons admiring the hillsides. Alongside sits a separate outdoor children’s pool, with shallow water for younger swimmers and baby-changing facilities. Both outdoor pools typically open between April and September (dates may vary).

For cooler days or a quieter, adults-only atmosphere, head to the spa’s indoor saltwater pool with whirlpool jets (charges apply, 18+). Pool towels are available for a refundable deposit.

There’s no private beach (you’re in classic lakes-and-mountains country rather than by the sea), but the shuttle puts Garda’s lakefront and small pebbly bathing spots within easy reach for a refreshing dip in Lake Garda itself.

Spa, sports & wellness


Active guests are well looked after. The air-conditioned gym offers cardio machines, free weights and a stretching zone (16+), while outdoors you’ll find tennis and padel courts, football, table tennis and organised yoga sessions (some activities incur a local charge). Golfers can practise at the on-site driving range with a 2‑hole course (local charges apply) before heading to nearby full courses around the lake.

The spa (18+, extra charge) is a tranquil escape with sauna, Turkish bath, whirlpool and a menu of massages and beauty treatments – perfect after a day’s hiking Monte Baldo or exploring lakeside villages.

Elsewhere you’ll find a handy mini-market for basics, landscaped grounds to wander, and comfortable lounges for relaxing with a book or a glass of local Bardolino wine.
