The hotel is at the prime location with all restaurants surrounded. Step away from the ferry and in the middle of the town center area. Small hotels with about 30 something rooms. Love the balcony looking out the marina. However, the shower is so small. I am petite but still had hard time to get into the shower stall. Can't imagine for people with bigger size figure.

Amazing Boutique Hotel

Amazing staff. It is a beautiful unique boutique hotel with an amazing morning view in a beautiful location. Desenzano is a bit less lively than some other Lakeside towns but the hotel is amazing. Will definitely stay here if we are ever back in Desenzano.

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.
