HOTEL ANTONELLA MALCESINE

Outdoor holidays at Hotel Antonella in Malcesine

Trekking and biking at Lake Garda and on Monte Baldo

Nice to meet you, I am Massimo and together with my family I manage the Hotel Antonella in Malcesine. I am a local Ironman and triathlete in love with Malcesine and I run, pedal and swim on Monte Baldo and in Lake Garda.

I trained myself here to prepare for the first International Triathlon of Bardolino, the Ironman of Cervia, the three Ironmans 70.3 of Oman, Austria, Maiorca and some Triathlon Challenges. I know every local trail and I can give you suggestions of which to do in order to spend a sporty day in the midst of lake and mountains.

The Hotel Antonella is located in Via Gardesana, just a kilometer from the Malcesine Monte Baldo Cable Car and a few hundred meters from the first path that leads up Monte Baldo at 1780 meters of height and more. With its 2218 meters, Valdritta peak is the highest one.

In the areas of the hills close to the hotel there are short, easy routes, suitable to walk or pedal calmly and to enjoy your free time. Climbing up instead, longer and more challenging routes wait for you, some several days long, all with an alpine taste.

It can be during a walk, a trek or a mtb ride but the nature of the Monte Baldo with its small villages, the shrines and the small churches will captivate you. The routes of Malcesine are to be discovered every day in every season.

Malcesine isn’t just sport and panoramas anyway. After a full sporty day or during a day off, it is also nice to spend the day on the beach and have a refreshing swim in the lake, or stroll in the center for some shopping and visit the Castle with its museums, take an aperitiv and taste many of the delicious local dishes.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Hotel Antonella.
