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.

Stayed for 2 weeks in June. Hotel is set back from main road which we hadn't realised when booking but we weren't disturbed by traffic noise and the position was great . The old town and ferry terminal were a 5 minute walk and the train station 10 minutes in the other direction so easy to get to other lakeside towns as well as Verona and Milan. Lots of lovely bars and restaurants in Desenzano . The hotel has a nice pool area and there were always sun loungers and umbrellas available. Rooms were spacious ,clean and comfortable with efficient air con. Breakfast was good and hotel staff were all pleasant and helpful. Would recommend thishotel

Wonderful hotel with first class staff and facilities. The hotel is in a central location convenient for all the local restaurants and bars. The harbour is only a short stroll away and the train station just up a short hill. There is a supermarket 1 minute away and the buffet breakfast is extensive and of an excellent quality.

We booked early as we needed four rooms for an extended family stay. From our initial enquiry we received great help from Mario to complete the booking. Having had early, long and tiring flights we had asked to drop off our luggage at midday before the rooms became available but when we arrived all the rooms were prepared and ready - such a bonus and so kind and helpful.
The rooms were spotless and breakfast varied and tasty.
Everybody in the reception team was friendly and offered helpful advice about places to go and excursions.
Definitely worth another visit

This hotel was immaculate. The cleanest I have been to. Looks like it has had a complete refurb last winter. Handy for the station and the town. We came by train and just wheeled our cases easily over the distance from the station. Breakfast was very good and we sat on the patio overlooking the pool every morning.
