Great stay!
The hotel was very lovely and in a beautiful location. Very accommodating with a good breakfast option. They also called a taxi for us the day we were leaving which was a nice option. Also a 5 min walk to the ferry station which was very convenient. My only wish was that we were able to change the AC temperature. It was in the room but we could not change the temperature. They said it would only blow hot air at the time since they are in the winter season (we went in October), but we tend to feel warm easily so being able to change the temp would've been more ideal. Otherwise, it was a great stay! Very clean, quiet, and beautiful.

This was our favourite hotel we stayed at during our holiday in Europe. It's not the flashiest hotel, but it was clean, comfortable, and the staff were all exceptionally friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included, which was a huge bonus! That, combined with the location makes this an outstanding value. The shared terrace was a fantastic place to have lunch!

This hotel is situated in the most beautiful area. There is a mini fridge in the rooms, towels changed daily and rooms cleaned daily. There is a coffee station and a mini fridge where you can purchase drinks for the same price as the shops. We chose this hotel so we could travel to Venice, Milan and Verona. It’s a 15 min walk to the train station. The ferry is directly outside the hotel so you can access other areas on the lake. There are many shops and restaurants on the doorstep. The beach area is perfect 👌 not too busy and only a 10 min walk. We have had the most amazing time in Desenzano and would highly recommend this hotel. A huge thank you to the staff.

We really liked the location of the hotel, nearby the old town, the lake and access to ferries. Breakfast was good. We just wished it would be a bit less strict, like for example the outdoor terrace that closes at 8PM, or we had to ask the staff to lower the AC (is set at 25 C).
