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.

We love Hotel Nazionale. We got married in Desenzano in 2013 and stayed here then with our family and friends. We have done repeat visits since, again staying here at the beginning of November for another wonderful stay.
We had a beautiful room, which was well appointed, bathroom was lovely, with soft towels, the bed was large & comfortable. Staff here are fantastic, they certainly ensure your stay is the best it can be.
Breakfast is the best we have had anywhere! Always a great selection. Again staff at breakfast are a delight.
The bar area, pool and lounge are beautifully kept. Town is a short walk downhill, with lots of restaurants, bars & shops. Ferries take you to all the Lakeside towns. Train station is a 15 min walk, where you can easily get a train to Verona, Venice, Milan, giving options for day trips as well as choice of airports. Desenzano & Hotel Nazionale has our hearts.
Suzanne & Paul Grundy.

Perfect location, excellent staff- especially Mario on front desk and delicious breakfast. Great facilities- all kept spotlessly clean by the friendly chambermaids
Could not fault it
Location is one short street from the main drag and also close to station for Verona visit
Anything you need to know - directions, where to eat etc ask Mario - he very kindly mapped out our Verona visit perfectly
Definitely recommend

The hotel was excellent. We had a lovely, spacious room with a good-sized shower room. The hotel was very clean and the decor really good. All the staff were welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. They advised us on travel, events and restaurants. There was plenty of choice at breakfast. Unfortunately we did have some rain during our stay but the hotel had a good supply of umbrellas which they let guests use. The Hotel Nazionale is less than 5 minutes walk from Lake Garda and about 10 minutes walk from the railway station. It is in a great location. I will definitely return.

My wife and I chose this hotel after looking at a number of others and it was a good choice.
We wanted a pool and good facilities with good location for both train station and lake front and this hotel fitted perfectly.
Better value than many others because it isn't cheap in Desenzano if you want a class hotel with good facilities.
Quality breakfast and sizeable bedroom.
Friendly staff and great pool area.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and no hesitation to recommend.
