"Loved an affordable option for visiting Lake Garda. Honestly the walk up-hill to the hotel burned off any calories I had consumed in town. Loved the pool and rooftop cool-tub. "
"Fantastic appartment, bedrooms really good size, everything you would need was supplied. Location was good just a short walk down to the lake. People at appartment were friendly and really helpful. Would definately stay here again if I returned to Lake Garda. "

Futhermore it was very pretty and clean. And good parking. Breakfast was also good."

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed as a family of 3 with a baby
Breakfast options were excellent. Great balcony view overlooking Lake Garda, very clean and friendly staff.
So convenient to the train and ferries for transport to Sirmione, Garda, Peschiara del Garda, Venice and Verona. All great day trips. Desenzano itself also a great wee place.
Would stay again!"

"I booked this hotel after reading reviews about its great location and it was right. One minutes walk from the train station and straight down the hill into the centre and the main ferry/boat stops. We explored a few different places from here on train and by boat. The rooftop and cool tub was stunning to unwind after a day of exploring with amazing views over the lake. Super easy check in and out and lovely breakfast choices. "
"We had a truly memorable stay at this charming lakeside hotel, where the direct access to the water added a serene and picturesque touch to the experience. The lake views were simply breathtaking, creating an atmosphere of peace and beauty throughout the property.
The staff stood out for their attentiveness and warmth, consistently making us feel welcome and cared for. Every request was met with prompt and courteous service.
Breakfast offered everything you could want to start the day off right, including freshly cooked eggs and omelettes made to order—always a nice touch. The hotel’s restaurants were a highlight, with gourmet dishes presented artfully and tasting just as amazing as they looked.
The only downside was the air conditioning in the bedroom, which struggled to cool effectively and made falling asleep a bit difficult during warmer nights. With such high standards elsewhere, we hope this gets resolved soon.
The pool area was spotless, with fresh towels always available and plenty of staff to ensure everything ran smoothly. The pool bar was another delightful feature, offering great service and a wide selection of drinks that kept us refreshed all afternoon.
Overall, a fantastic stay with just a small caveat. We'd happily return, and maybe pack a mini fan just in case
