Lovely family run hotel. Rooms were gorgeous and clean. Bed linen luxurious towels soft and fluffy. A/C worked well and lost of amities in the bathroom. Staff were all friendly. Breakfast buffet was mainly continental but pancakes and eggs could be ordered and included. It was a 10min walk into the centre of Desenzano from the hotel. Located across the road from the lake. Having read other reviews on other sites, I was worried about staying here but there was nothing to worry about. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend.

Fantastic hotel!

Incredible stay at this family owned horel. We felt welcomed from the moment we arrived and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We ate there one evening (which is not something we usually do at hotels) and the food and service was outstanding. We enjoyed our trip so much so that if we were to come to Lake Garda again, we would definite stay there again!

The hotel & staff were excellent. Hotel is well positioned for train and ferry links with a god variety of eating options within a short walk. Down side, the hotel is situated on a fairly busy road which can be noisy during the day. Overall a good hotel.

Great hotel, amazing staff

Amazing staff were super accommodating when we had an issue with our room, went out of their way to help resolve the issue. The rooftop with jacuzzi is incredible, has beautiful views of lake Garda. Loved the stay, rooms aren’t sound proof but was able to sleep well with ear plugs

This was our piccola casa away from our casa for 4 days. Impeccable service and attention to detail. This is what hotels should be. We felt at home from the moment we entered. Indeed the family that owns the hotel are always on the property. When we come back to Desenzano di Garda we will be back here.? This is the place to call home while you explore all the other enchanting towns around beautiful Lago di Garda!!

Great location!

Great service, attentive staff. A/C was a bit faint and stationed by the door, felt more like a unit. A smidge dated, but great otherwise. Didn’t like that the bathroom had a double sided mirror by the window, which seemed odd, so I covered it. The flusher for the toilet was odd and a bit hard to suppress. Great location walkable to town!

Beautiful hotel

We loved the hotel, it is beautifully kept and super clean. The staff were excellent, superb English. We had an issue when we arrived having lost a bag, and Benjamin was very helpful. There are loads of lovely areas to sii8t, both inside and out, beautiful gardens front and back (front a little noisy from the road which is a shame) The roof terrace is a lovely and quiet sun trap with a lake view. the lemon garden and library are wonderfully quaint. The breakfast was superb, and we had dinner one night next to the pool, and the food was excellent. It is fancy and maybe a little more than elsewhere, but I couldn't fault it. The seared tuna was outstanding. The location is great, about a 10 min max walk to the town and the ferry terminal. It's a 20 minute walk from the train station downhill...or 10 euros in a taxi. Our room was comfortable, the bed was good and a very smart new bathroom. The balcony caught the evening sun until late

This was a perfect hotel for our stay, Nothing during our stay was to much trouble for the staff with them going the extra mile to accommodate my son's milk allergy for breakfast by arrange for him to have his own freshly baked croissants and chocolate tart. The larger swimming pool at the front of the hotel was lovely and was the perfect blend of there always being sunbeds available no matter what the time of day. If you want to venture away from the hotel the town and local ferry port are only a short 5-10 minute walk away. Anyone thinking of staying at this hotel won't be disappointed.

The hotel was a short walk from the main part of town with lots of shops , restaurants and the marina . The front of the hotel had a very beautiful Olive Garden with a pool in the center . So a little buggy especially with the heat wave . The pool was beautiful and very relaxing . The back of the hotel had a jacuzzi in the garden as well . The food was good and the staff were friendly. I think they are in the middle of redecorating the rooms . Some rooms are more updated . Some are partially updated. I would recommend if you are planning on visiting Lake garda Desenzano .
