Parking in Sirmione

All the information you need
The historic center of Sirmione is a charming limited traffic zone (ZTL), characterized by narrow and picturesque streets.
For this reason, access is regulated and may require a bit of extra attention — but don’t worry: with the right directions, reaching the hotel will be simple and well organized.
If you are traveling with a particularly large vehicle, with protruding loads or a trailer, it is unfortunately not possible to drive through the historic center.
Below you will find all the available options for convenient and safe parking.

 

Hotel Parking (inside the ZTL)
We offer a private parking area located directly within the historic center.
Main information:
  • Limited availability, by reservation only
  • The request must be made at the same time as the room booking
  • The vehicle license plate must be provided in writing (no phone calls or photos)

To reach the hotel, you will pass through the charming streets of the old town, sharing theالطريقwith pedestrians: please drive slowly and pay attention to traffic lights.
