Great stay

This is a wonderful hotel in a great location, we had a lovely room overlooking the beautiful little harbour. The breakfast had a really good selection and the staff were really friendly. Highly recommended and we will be returning here again.
Adrian, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel was exactly what I needed for a solo stay of 5 nights. It was conveniently located on the beautiful old harbor, had friendly staff, provided a solo room and a free breakfast. The location was perfect for taking the ferry to other parts of Lake Garda and it was only a 10 minute walk to the train station for visiting Verona and other areas of Italy. The tourist office is a few steps away, which was great for getting maps and other helpful visitor information.

Enjoyed my stay! Rooms were very clean, quiet and the air conditioning was excellent. There was a loud party next door during our stay and we couldn’t hear it at all, which was great. Would stay here again.

10/10 Exceptional

Old harbour view.

Perfectly situated in the old port area of Desenzano with the breakfast area including seats overlooking the little boats bobbing in the old harbour. There is also a balconied terrace with the same view. Staff were friendly and helpful. Grazie breakfast ladies, you were wonderful! Breakfast had lots of choice, probably the best breakfast we’ve ever had in Italy.

Linda J., 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel in excellent location. Worth noting that not all rooms are accessible by the elevator so when booking i would recommend asking for a room that you don’t need to take any stairs to if you have mobility issues
Gary, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic hotel in a very nice area. Walkable from the train station in around 10 minutes. There are loads of bars/ restaurants within a few minutes walk of the hotel. The ferry to other areas of Lake Garda is just around the corner. The air con in the room worked very well in the heat! Breakfast had lots of nice options, although you needed an engineering degree to work the toaster. Would recommend to any family/ friends and would stay here again if we return.
