We had a wonderful time in Sirmione as part of a longer trip through Italy and Slovenia. We were upgraded on arrival and given lots of valuable information about the best places to eat and drink. Worth noting about Sirmione, is the need to book taxis well in advance and that there is an issue with buses in and out of the area, which caused us to miss our train by two hours!!
