Second time here, with visits 7 years apart. I really can't fault the place. It has such nice little extra touches. It smells amazing as you walk in for a start then your room has kettle, mini bar and very comfy beds etc but also robes and slippers for you to make use of during your stay and a lovely hessian bag as a gift for you to keep and which actually came in very handy while I was there. You also get offered a welcome drink which you take at your leisure. Everywhere is exceptionally clean and tidy. Rooms cleaned to a high standard and plenty of toiletries and towels. Food is GREAT. The restaurant is extremely well run and staff hard working and a great mix of friendly but professional. Nice atmos in there. You get allocated a table that you keep for your stay and I was fortunate enough to be sat by lovely people. Tables are fairly close together - enough for you to strike up a conversation with your neighbour if you want to but far enough apart for privacy. Everyone is so accommodating at the Continental. Head waiter saw us waiting to be picked up from reception for the journey back to airport and offered to get us coffees, being a perfect example. The only possible negative - though could be a positive - is that the hotel is in Nago not Torbole and it is about a 20 minute walk down to the lake, and a very steep walk back up, which is daunting for some. The hotel does have a courtesy bus to bring you back up at 4 pm. (Only time I decided to use it, some of us missed it by a whisker due to late running ferries but after a quick call to the hotel, they sent the driver back and the wonderful man arrived back within minutes.) I know some felt a later bus back would be an asset but others happily used public transport which I'm told was OK. If walking is your thing, Nago has many hiking trails and the hotel will provide you with the maps. I did 2 this time round and really enjoyed the wonderful scenery. Last time I visited I discovered the lake and Torbole. This time I discovered a bit more of beautiful Nago too. If you're not afraid to walk or use the bus, this hotel is perfectly positioned to offer best of two worlds. Tonelli hotels have a deservedly great rep.
