About the location
The charming town of Desenzano lies on the southern banks of Lake Garda, gazing out towards the Alps. With three large beaches and numerous cafes along the lake’s waterfront, it’s easy to relax here. Spend some time walking the pleasant historic streets up to the town’s Castello, where you can enjoy wonderful views over Desenzano, visiting the impressive Roman villa or marvelling at the cathedral's 16th-century architecture. There are plenty of shops dotted around the town, with everything from well-loved high street shops to charming, individual boutiques.
Desenzano is a great base for explorations of northern Italy. Lake Garda’s other towns are accessible by regular ferries and the cities of Milan, Verona and Venice are easily reached by train.

This is a very comfortable and well run hotel. The staff are attentive and efficient. The rooms are very comfortable and very clean. There is a large buffet breakfast with plenty of choice and options for everyone and is replenished quickly. The pool area has generous number of sun-beds and seating and the pool is a reasonable size for swimming. The hotel is located on a main road, but the noise did not penetrate the room through the double glazing. It is a short walk to the coastal path and the town centre, and, in the opposite direction, the train station.

This hotel was in an excellent location, just five minute walk to the town & lake one way & 10 minutes slightly up hill the other way to the train station.
The hotel was spotlessly clean, all exterior cleaned every morning, the cleaning staff were excellent & the room was fully cleaned each day & toiletries regularly replaced.
Breakfast is served across an an almost three hour band, offered a great range of fresh food & drink, with various options & the opportunity to eat inside or outside by the pool terrace.
The staff were extremely helpful, providing useful maps, train timetables printed out on request & tips on where to go on visits across the region.
A pack up breakfast was provided for us on our last day as we had an early morning flight.
We would happily stay here again & would thoroughly recommend.

The hotel is rated as a 3 star, but in my opinion it far exceeds this rating. I would definitely say it???s more like a very good 4 star! The hotel itself has a contemporary style. Beautiful flowers by the pool, and a few pieces of artwork on display also means it doesn???t feel too corporate. Everyone who works here is very friendly, and they went above and beyond to make sure we had a good stay. I found generally Desenzano to be a very welcoming place, and felt comfortable here. The rooms are large, and always kept spotlessly clean. The location works well too, a few minutes walk from the town centre and the gorgeous Lake Garda.
