Il Sogno Apartments"Really helpful staff and great location. Loved having access to bikes so could cycle t the supermarket etc Nice pool Perfect for a 4 night family stay"




Casa Bonotto Desenzano
Casa Bonotto Desenzano"This was a perfect location for our trip to Lake Garda. We had a car so it was easy to access Desenzano historic centre, grocery stores and train station. The property was quiet and had good parking. Unfortunately our rental was too big to get it easily into the underground parking but there was plenty of on-street free parking during out trip in June."

Malvezzi24 Boutique Rooms"Excellent central location. Helpful and friendly service. We had a wonderful stay. "




Desenzano Uptown Suites by Wonderful Italy
Desenzano Uptown Suites by Wonderful Italy"Det saknades fungerande Wifi, trotsa att detta utlovats. Spisen saknade knappen som tänder gasen. Värden var mycket långsam på att svara på frågor. Inget av problemen åtgärdades under vår vistelse. I övrigt en fin lägenhet med bra AC."




Manuela Quattro Coppe
Manuela Quattro Coppe"The owner was very helpful, I asked for a kettle and there was one waiting when we got there. She checked everything was ok , after we had done self checkin and check out. The location is a further out than we expected, we knew it wasn’t near the lake, but there was nothing near by , you definitely need a car … Fridge in room , and a microwave in the hall for everyone to use . It’s above a pizza restaurant , so you can eat there some nights ( wasn’t open Tuesday) but it was over the weekend....




Residenza Verde
Residenza Verde"Lejligheden var dejlig rummelig og virkede optimalt for os - gårdhavereterassen var sublim! "




Passeggiata Apartments
Passeggiata Apartments"Insgesamt eine ganz niedliche Unterkunft. Minuspunkte aber gibt’s für die Umgebung. Die Unterkunft liegt direkt an einer Straße, wo die Autos im Affentempo vorbei rasen, direkt daneben hinter Gebüsch verlaufen die Bahngleise, die Züge fahren oft, schnell und bis in die Nacht. Es ist extrem laut. Abends draußen sitzen macht daher nicht soviel Spaß. Da es nur ein Fenster/Tür 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 Piccola Vela
"Lovely hotel! Great location! Helpful and friendly staff. Sun loungers need a bit of care and would be nice if there was a place to fill your water bottle"
Hotel Riviera
"Stayed here twice and find it very nice and ideally located right on the lake and a short walk into the centre for bars and restaurants"
Hotel Aurora
"Beautiful spot on the lake. Walking distance to the train station and ferry port! Great staff. We would stay here again."
Hotel City
"Lovely hotel - will stay again! Great location - a short walk from the train station, only 2 mins walk from ferries & main streets, tucked down a quiet side street away from any traffic or street noise. The hotel itself was nice and quiet, well decorated and maintained, with very pleasant rooms and good facilities. The bed was very comfy! Breakfast was excellent (a nice range of foods & good coffee machine) & all staff were friendly and polite. The 24hr check-in was very convenient for us as our plane was delayed and we ended up arriving close to midnight!"
Hotel Piroscafo
"Clean room , great location right in the centre and close the square and ferries. Breakfast included and very substantial. Aircon was great Staff very professional"
Hotel Europa
"The Europa has an excellent position opposite the lake, so one has a beautiful view whilst enjoying a great breakfast. The selection of food and drinks on offer is fantastic. The beach is just over the road, the shops and restaurants are all a short stroll as is the boat station. There’s a nice path along the lake for my morning walk/jog. This was my second stay here and hope to return. Delightful"
Park Hotel
"What an absolutely incredible stay! This hotel truly sets the standard for excellence and delivers a genuine luxury experience from start to finish. The room was absolutely immaculate and beautifully designed. Every detail felt fresh, modern, and spotlessly clean, with an exceptionally comfortable bed and a stunning, pristine bathroom that felt like a private spa. Breakfast was a massive highlight of our stay. The selection was vast, beautifully presented, and constantly refreshed with high-quality, delicious options. Instead of instant dispensers, all hot drinks were freshly brewed to perfection by attentive staff. The service throughout the hotel was warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming. I cannot recommend this property highly enough and will definitely be returning!"
Hotel Mayer & Splendid – Wellness e Spa
"Great location, good choice of continental breakfast options. Helpful staff. The rooms could do with an update, but overall a good stay."
Hotel Berta
"Hôtel très bien situé , très propre. Bon rapport qualité prix. Très bon déjeuner. 2 Spas sur le toit, très belle piscine. Réception à l’arrivée très rapide m. Lits à ressort moyennement confortable. C’est un vieux hôtel mais bien entretenu. Excellent rapport qualité prix , je vous le recommande."
