01 · In a sentence

Onda Blu Resort in Manerba del Garda, open AprilNovember.

Originally constructed in the 1970s as a private villa overlooking Lake Garda, Onda Blu Resort was transformed into a hospitality destination through careful restoration that preserved its architectural character while modernizing guest amenities.

The property retains original stone elements and terraced gardens from its residential past, now serving as an intimate lakeside wedding venue.

Situated on Viale Catullo in Manerba del Garda, the resort offers 44 rooms across its grounds, providing both ceremony and reception spaces with water views.

Pitch was okay, campsite was clean including the accessories. It has great location next to the beach of Lago Di Garda. Staff was okay, pizza in restaurant was tasty. But no soap and no toilet paper why? A bit pricey for the value you get and therefore just 3 stars
