Fantastic hotel!

Incredible stay at this family owned horel. We felt welcomed from the moment we arrived and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We ate there one evening (which is not something we usually do at hotels) and the food and service was outstanding. We enjoyed our trip so much so that if we were to come to Lake Garda again, we would definite stay there again!

This was our piccola casa away from our casa for 4 days. Impeccable service and attention to detail. This is what hotels should be. We felt at home from the moment we entered. Indeed the family that owns the hotel are always on the property. When we come back to Desenzano di Garda we will be back here.? This is the place to call home while you explore all the other enchanting towns around beautiful Lago di Garda!!
