The southeastern corner of Lake Garda is the family end of the lake, with Gardaland, a sea life aquarium, a water park and other attractions all within a short drive. TH Lazise Hotel Parchi del Garda is placed to take advantage of that. It sits near Lazise, one of the most pleasant small towns on the shore, and appears in searches for hotels closest to Gardaland, which makes it a practical base for a holiday built around the parks. The hotel suits families who want a base for a few days of rides and swimming rather than a quiet romantic retreat. Lazise itself has a medieval harbour, a castle and a promenade, so there is something for adults in the evening after the children have worn themselves out in the park. The surrounding area also has cycle paths, beaches and the wine hills of Bardolino a short distance away.
Location and getting around
Lazise is about a short drive from Gardaland and around a half hour from Verona. The hotel is best suited to guests with a car, although local buses and seasonal shuttles run in the high season. The town centre is reachable by road or by cycle path, and Peschiera del Garda, with its railway station, is a short journey away. Check the hotel for any shuttle arrangements to the parks.
What to do from here
Spend a day at Gardaland, visit the aquarium or water park, then plan a quieter day in Lazise with a walk around the walls, a swim and a boat trip. Wine lovers can reach Bardolino quickly for a tasting, and Verona is an easy day trip for culture. The mixture of fun and sightseeing makes the area an excellent choice for multi-generational groups.
Who it suits
Families with children, groups of friends who want theme park access and travellers who value convenience over character. Facilities such as pools, restaurants and entertainment vary, so confirm what is available for your dates. Summer is the high season and the busiest period, while spring and autumn bring cheaper rates and shorter queues at the parks. The parks close or reduce hours in winter, so check dates before you plan.
Planning notes
If you are visiting the parks, check each park’s calendar before you book, because opening days vary through the year and some close in winter. Book hotel rooms for summer weekends early, ask about family rooms and cots and find out whether breakfast or half board is available.
Bring sun protection, swimwear and comfortable shoes for the parks. On days without the parks, take the cycle path to Lazise and Bardolino, visit the Venetian customs house and walls or take a short boat trip. Travelling in May, June or September can reduce queues and rates compared with the peak weeks of August.
