"Had a wonderful two night stay at Hotel Flaminia. There is no parking at the hotel but for €20 per day you can park outside the town then be brought to the hotel for free on a golf buggy. We had a superior double room which had a view of the lake but no balcony. The breakfast was good and our room was modern and well equipped but the best feature is the fact that you lounge on the terrace and swim in the lake with the ducks straight off the terrace. The perfect way to cool off after having a wonder around the town. "

"We had a lovely stay in Desenzano at Hotel Riviera, where Desenzano provided the perfect base for us to explore Lake Garda as we had been travelling Italy via trains. We had a balcony and lake view room, which provided gorgeous views and caught the morning sun. For us that was definitely worth upgrading for. The room felt spacious and modern. There was only a mini bar fridge in the room though, so storing any drinks to cool was a challenge, especially with the 30 degree heat. Only gripe with the room was that the shower had poor temperature regulation, where often it would cycle. The roof terrace with sun loungers was a cracking touch, especially for days of just relaxing. The hotel was only a short walk to the ferry port, and < 20mins walk to the train station. I would highly recommend this hotel, and would opt to stay again in the future!"

"A nice, welcoming and well managed hotel. The room was comfortable and a good size. Breakfast had plenty of choice especially if you want just a continental breakfast. The swimming pool and sun lounging areas are very nice. "

"This hotel was great! Has a nice little pool and several eating options. We walked to Gardaland for the day and drive down to Lazise for a nice dinner. The morning breakfast is very convenient and they had a nice spread, more than just a cold, continental breakfast. "

"Beautiful hotel, great location, friendly staff, great breakfast to start the day. Were accommodating with cases before and after check in and check out "

"Reqlly good. Just noisy with the live music "

"Location location location. This one ticks the boxes. Just inside the bridge onto the island it is right next to the shops, bars and restaurants and next to the ferry pier. Everything is a very short walk. We had a room with a small balcony overlooking the water and ferry pier. Well appointed and comfortable. The hotel is old and classic historic in some ways and a little tired in others. The only negative was the AC in the room did not cope with an early June heat. We set it to 19 but the room never got below 23 making it difficult to sleep at night. You can’t have the windows open as there are loads of flying insects hanging around. I would stay there again and recommend it to anyone. "

"Excellent stay from start to finish. The hotel staff were exceptional, especially Elena and the team on the front desk who were always on hand to help. "

"A beautiful hotel, excellent staff and a fantastic location. The spa is the best i have experienced."
