Flowers Apartments"The rooms were immaculately clean upon arrival. Tiziano was a welcoming host who gave us advice about the local sites and things to do (and details of the beach and market!). We received a supply of essentials which set us up nicely. It's a fab location, right in the centre of the bars and restaurants."

Desenzano Uptown Suites by Wonderful Italy"Det saknades fungerande Wifi, trotsa att detta utlovats. Spisen saknade knappen som tรคnder gasen. Vรคrden var mycket lรฅngsam pรฅ att svara pรฅ frรฅgor. Inget av problemen รฅtgรคrdades under vรฅr vistelse. I รถvrigt en fin lรคgenhet med bra AC."




Passeggiata Apartments
Passeggiata Apartments"Insgesamt eine ganz niedliche Unterkunft. Minuspunkte aber gibtโs fรผr die Umgebung. Die Unterkunft liegt direkt an einer Straรe, wo die Autos im Affentempo vorbei rasen, direkt daneben hinter Gebรผsch verlaufen die Bahngleise, die Zรผge fahren oft, schnell und bis in die Nacht. Es ist extrem laut. Abends drauรen sitzen macht daher nicht soviel Spaร. Da es nur ein Fenster/Tรผr gibt, ist die Wohnung recht dunkel."




Castello Belvedere Apartments
Castello Belvedere Apartments"Beautiful property. We loved the views! The apartments are spacious and well kept. Great communication with management staff to accommodate late check in. "

Top Desenzano del Garda Hotel Reviews
Hotel Riviera
"This is an excellent hotel. The staff are unbelievable nice. Breakfast is top class. Location is amazing"
Hotel City
"We had a lovely short stay at Hotel City. The location was convenient, with easy access to the lakefront, and there was a good selection at breakfast. Our room was very clean and was left tidy each day. We initially had some trouble with the air-conditioning, but eventually realised that it only works when the window is fully closed. Once we figured that out, everything was fine. Overall, we had no concerns and enjoyed our stay."
Hotel Berta
"We were very happy and comfortable at the hotel. Beds were fantastic. We were a family of 4. Excellent breakfast, free parking, jacuzzi on top floor! Highly recommend."
Hotel Palazzo Del Garda & Spa
"Excellent small hotel in a quiet area of town but close enough to be able to walk in. Pool was great and the breakfasts were excellent. Staff were extremely helpful. Thoroughly recommend it if you want a relaxing chilled break."
Park Hotel
"Lovely room, excellent breakfast. Pool was busy all day and difficult to find a bed."
Hotel Tripoli
"Good location, but the room is too small for a family of four."
Hotel Piccola Vela
"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."
Hotel Oliveto
"Everything was spectacular. I stayed in a single room, which was a little tight on space but not even a major issue. Staff gave us incredible recommendations on restaurants that were not on the waterfront"
Hotel Europa
