"At first something went wrong with getting the right dates for this accomodation. But the owner was very open to think with us and she gaves us a good other option!
Futhermore it was very pretty and clean. And good parking. Breakfast was also good."

Hotel Desenzano
10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel and location. Only a 10 min walk to the lake"
"The property and the room could need an upgrade, the walls in bathing area were put together by tape, there were black hair several places and i and my son do not have black hair😅 the pool area was nice but could also need a helping as tiles were lose around the pool. But generally a good stay and a well equipped room even though a bit outdated."
"This was the last hotel we stayed at on a tour we did of Malta, Sicily and Italy. We didn’t know what to expect as we had had a couple of terrible ones. Thankfully the hotel was lovely, staff were friendly and accommodating, the hotel was immaculately clean, rooms, pool area and breakfast was great. It was in a great location a few minutes walk from the lake and 10 mins walk downhill from the train station. Would recommend without hesitation. "
"Free beach access with lounge chairs was a great amenity. Sea view room looked right on the lake. Lots of options for free breakfast, restaurants delicious for dinner too. Great service. "
"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
