Arriving by boat at Hotel & Ristorante Sogno, San Felice del Benaco

Where do you moor to visit Hotel & Ristorante Sogno?

You moor at the hotel's private buoys, on the lake by Hotel & Ristorante Sogno, Via Porto San Felice 41, San Felice del Benaco, in the province of Brescia. The municipality lies on the west shore of Lake Garda and also includes Cisano, Portese and Isola del Garda.

The coordinates published on the website are those of the hotel: 45.581 N, 10.559 E. The exact position of the buoys, however, is not published, so it is best to ask the staff before you leave your harbour. The restaurant terrace sits right at the water's edge, looking out over the Rocca di Manerba.

How does Captain Sandro's tender service work?

Captain Sandro helps you moor at the buoy and then takes you in the hotel's tender straight to the restaurant, on the terrace overlooking the lake.

As the hotel describes it on its “By boat” page:

• you arrive at the hotel and moor at one of the private buoys;
• Captain Sandro helps you moor;
• he takes you by tender straight to the restaurant, on the terrace;
• those staying at the hotel will find the mooring buoy among the extras, at €40.

How much does a mooring buoy cost at Hotel Sogno?

The boat service, meaning help with mooring and the tender to the terrace, is free for hotel and restaurant guests. For those staying at the hotel, the mooring buoy is listed among the extras at €40, alongside breakfast and room service.

The website gives no other rates for the buoy: if you are coming only for lunch or dinner, or plan to leave the boat for several days, ask the hotel about the terms when you arrange your arrival.
