What a surprise! Sirmione was a bit of paradise. Off-season and being a holiday weekend, our Friday night roadside stop was a great surprise. Since I booked last minute and was basically concerned about being close to water and accommodating our two dogs, I missed the details that Hotel Flaminia was in a pedestrian zone. Everyone was very helpful. From the signore at the entry to the village to the people at the parking spot to the shuttle driver, the adventure started the moment we arrived. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The village is old and full of charm and has restaurants at every step of the way. There are many remote places to explore and I’m guessing one could cover the peninsula over a few day‘s stay. The breakfast was good and the view, fantastic! Two thumbs up for our 18 hour stop on our way to Finale Ligure. We will be back.
