Hotel Oliveto

Desenzano del Garda|1.07km from Desenzano del Garda
This 3-4 star hotel is exactly as described and reviewed. So don’t expect a 5 star luxury palace. But if you want a good hotel in a quiet position, a 10-15min walk to the centre of Desenzano, then this fits the bill. We arrived earlier than regular check in but were met with friendly reception staff. I had emailed Hotel Oliveto knowing this and as promised could leave bags at reception and use the pool and pool bar till our room was ready. I forgot to pack a towel in hand luggage so rented pool towels (€3 per towel for the entire stay - not unreasonable) The pool is 25x10m, clean, not overly chlorinated and a lovely 28 degrees. It has spa corners to relax in and plentiful loungers and umbrellas. The family friendly hotel had lots of kids but the pool was never overly crowded, nor was the space around it. There’s no view of the lake but it’s reasonably private and I think it’s fine. The pool bar is open from midday till 7 and serves simple snack food (sandwiches, toasties, chips etc along with a reasonable range of drinks) A separate shaded seating area means you can eat away from the pool. When we got into the room, it was one of the older styles (as expected). The new refurbished ones look on the photos to be of a much more modern and luxury type but the standard double we had was as per the photos. Given I wasn’t planning to do much in the room other than sleep, wake up and shower, it was fine. The bathroom is dated but there’s plenty of hot water, a reasonable shower, very good AC and despite the previous reviews I found the WiFi to be pretty good. The breakfast was varied and as expected at a 4 star hotel. Plenty of choice with juice, coffees and teas, cereals, sweet pastries and cakes, continental meats and cheeses, yoghurts, fresh fruits and limited cooked breakfast items. We stayed when the hotel was full and although the dining area was full, we never had to wait for a table. Serving up till 10am meant we could lie in too. The other hotel facilities we used was the gym. A reasonable place with 2 running machines, a static cycle, rowing machine, a multi-weights machine, bench, free weights, kettles, Swiss balls and mat. Well air conditioned, you needed to book (COVID restrictions) but we were always able to get a slot we wanted. There was an indoor pool, and spa circuit but it was so nice and hot outside, we never tried them. The other reviews seem to be positive about them. We never had dinner at the hotel either. Desenzano del Garda is a town at the lower West corner of Lake Garda. It has some upmarket shops but in general is a laid back place with lots of restaurants. Don’t expect trendy fashionista bars or nightclubs. It’s clearly fueled by tourism but again doesn’t feel overly crowded or intimidating. Just a nice compact place. It’s a 10-15 minute walk from the hotel to the town centre which was never a problem. The town has a rocky beach with lounger/shade hire, pedalos and beachside restaurants. We found an amazing family run

Park Hotel
4.5/572 Reviews
The hotel is positioned in a nice spot over-looking the Lake and close the terminal for the ferry to take you around the Lake. There were a number of bars and restaurants in close proximity, albeit we found the general standard of the food quite toursity and a bit dis-appointing for Italy. Back to the hotel, the reception area is welcoming and very nicely decorated with the staff quite engaging. The rooftop pool is quite small and I'd imagine very difficult to find a space up there in peak season. Rooms are furnished just ok and the TV's were about 15inches in size and looked like they dated back to the 80's, most definately not what you would expect from a 4/5 star establishment. Our stay was affected badly by a lack of air-conditioning. It was the first warm weeked of the year with temperatures climbing to 24 degrees. Whilst to hotel don't advise you of this in advance, apparently there is a local restriction on the use of air-conditioning in hotels from October to May for climate change reasons. Our family room was located on the third floor which over-looked the busy street below which meant opening windows gave rise to a lot of noise late into the night from nearby bars until at least 1 am, or a very early wake up from the street cleaners at 6am disrupting sleep. Whilst we asked to move to a room at the front of the hotel over-looking the entrance which would have been much quieter the hotel was apparently full due to a cycling event taking place over the weekend. Ultimately our stay and this review was significantly affected by this situation, so is very much one to be aware of when considering booking for future guests.
Hotel Riviera
4.2/549 Reviews
Less than 10 minutes from the station by taxi, the hotel is centrally located and right on the lakeside with great views from the pavement terrace. Staff were friendly, helpful and cheerful (our receptionist was particularly helpful but we did not get her name). All staff (and everyone else we met) made an effort to speak English if necessary). Our en-suite accommodation was simple but clean, comfortable and adequate with good ac. Breakfast was lovely, especially sitting on the terrace overlooking Lake Garda (although the coffee was not as good as elsewhere). Tea, aperitifs and drinks were very reasonably priced. Dinners were not an option (which is sensible considering the range of restaurants, cafes and enoteccas on the doorstep). Other guests moving about at night and in the morning were a bit noisy and the Lido cafe next door was the same but cannot be heard from rooms inside the hotel. From the Riviera it is a matter of minutes to all local amenities: restaurants, cafes, shops, cruise boats, cycle hire, castle, Roman villa, supermarkets, laundromat… For a three star hotel we highly recommend The Riviera Hotel and it’s lovely staff.
Hotel Europa
4.4/560 Reviews
This is an excellent hotel, ideally located, with very welcoming, professional staff including Mikka and Francesca who always assisted the buffet breakfast with a smile. Indeed the breakfast is excellent with a large variety of options to suit varied tastes and diets. I had a room with a beautiful view of the lake. Room was light and spotlessly clean. Highly recommend this hotel and hope to return one day.

Hotel Astoria
4/517 Reviews
We weren’t bothered that the hotel was described as dated, having read other reviews, as often that has its own charm in Italian hotels. Unfortunately this hotel isn’t run by Italians so that’s where the charm vanishes. Run by some very rude and arrogant men it is strange and inhospitable. We definitely felt uncomfortable as two women friends. The breakfast buffet was poor with limited choice and they have a strange practice of leaving all the dirty crockery etc until the very end of the service period. So you sit surrounded by dirty plates on all the tables.
Villa Rosa Hotel Desenzano
4.5/554 Reviews
We visited Villa Rosa initially for one night, before exploring the rest of Lake Garda. We liked it so much that we returned to our same room for the last night of our trip. Rooms are very clean and as we had a junior suite this also had great views of the lake. Reception staff are very friendly and helped make out visit even more special. Free WiFi throughout the hotel, limited free parking (lots of paid parking also available). The breakfast is something else. Lots a lots of choice, all of the highest quality. This can be takes in their lovely dining room with views over the lake.Villa Rosa is perfectly situated opposite a popular beach and is within easy walking to Dezenzano main square and ferries.
