There was nothing really to dislike.... only fault was the room fridge didnt work but wasnt a big deal.....its a beautiful well run hotel.

Probably one of the best stays in a hotel weve had. Staff are exceptionally helpful. Owner was very nice.beautifully presented hotel. Back garden area with heated pool was stunning. Front garden had large pool. Roof had jacuzzi. Beautiful interior design throughout. We had a room with panoramic terrace which was great. Breakfast was very nice. 2 mins walk into town. Very hard to fault and we will certainly be back at this hotel and area.

The tea and coffee was not replenished each day. Bottled water could have been included in the price.

The nicest hotel we have stayed in for a long time. Beautiful gardens and swimming pools. a very nice breakfast included.

Beautiful hotel, with good facilities and very friendly and helpful staff! Situated just outside of the city centre, but within walking distance of it, and still close to restaurants and the lake. Although close to a main road, this was not very noticeable as the hotel is very peaceful and quiet.

I was lucky to spent three nights in the Piccola Vela hotel in the beginning of May. It was an expierence of a lifetime :) Perfect combination of luxury and guests friendly staff. Every single person was super nice and genuinely ready to make sure each guest is comfortable. They're also multilingual ( one of the front desk clerks was even speaking Polish). Two pools, two gardens, jacuzzi on the rooftop - make sure to reserve some time to enjoy the attractions provided by the hotel itself. Breakfast by the pool is marvellous and the best meals I had in Desenzano were the ones at the hotel (lunches and a delicious dinner at the Capovento restaurant). As for the location: walking distance to the port area, yet much quieter and calmer. You can enjoy birds singing in the gardens, instead of the hens- and stag-dos in the town center ;) My stay at the Piccola Vela was an 11 out of 10 experience, highly recommended 👌

Nothing really.

The friendly staff, quality of service and food.

Maybe a bigger breakfast menu and more cold options. Rooms need to be handed out based on price paid, as other members had bigger rooms with lower prices paid.

The staff were extremely polite and attentive, especially Davide & Paulo. Service was also exceptional and I couldn’t fault it one bit. On arrival, it was my GF’s birthday but we never mentioned anything, we left our suitcases and went for a walk as our room wasn’t ready yet (we arrived very early). Upon return, we found a happy Birthday note from the hotel and free drinks at the bar. Which was honestly great service. The hotel has 2 pools, one heated in their back garden which is lovely and another unheated, at the front of the hotel which is refreshing. They also have a lovely rooftop with an amazing view of the full lake along with a Jacuzzi you can book for free up to late hours. Their breakfast is ok, personally I would like more options both cold & hot but that’s because I like to try different foods. Their lunch & dinner menu is delicious and they definitely know what they’re doing, would 100% recommend to try it. Room wise (we took basic option) - Bathroom is very modern & clean with i’d say decent space. They’ll have everything you need apart from an iron (they do have a dry cleaning service). The room itself is nothing to rave about personally, I would expect more space and maybe more modern furniture for the price I paid and maybe a bigger balcony. I’m not sure how their pricing works because we attended with a massive wedding party (around 25-30 rooms booked out). I visited a couple rooms who paid less than what we did by around €200-€300 and their rooms were a lot bigger and had extras we didn’t, so a bit disappointing there. Overall, I would give it a 4/5.

Could make some minor improvements such as mirror and better lighting in the bedroom for ladies to get ready and wardrobe did not accommodate hanging for long clothes such as dresses

Family run and boutique feel. Brilliantly attentive and friendly staff couldn’t do enough for you. If the kitchen was closed they would still rustle up something delicious for you. We were hear as a wedding party and they put on a fantastic evening for us. Highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Desenzano

Hangers for towels are needed in the bathroom:) Hangers for clothes (jacket).

Everything was amazing! The hotel garden is beautiful, with a heated pool and a very nice atmosphere. Rooms are comfortable. Staff was incredibly polite and friendly. Cleaning the room every day (if you want) Good breakfast choices.

Room was a little tight for a family of 4 with luggage, but was fine for a 2 night stay. Bathroom was sufficient.

Hotel was beautiful, and the staff was extremely helpful. We loved using the warm garden pool, and the hot tub on the roof. Breakfast was also delicious.

Everything was great.

Staff were wonderful, very friendly and helpful, very generous- we were upgraded to a lake view room and were lent bicycles to explore. We thoroughly enjoyed the rooftop jacuzzi and the pools and garden looked great too. Breakfast vast and delicious!

That I had to leave

They've thought of every little detail to provide guests with a comfortable stay. The grounds are fantastic and a wonderful oasis.

Beautiful place, super attentive staff and great location. Will be back!!

Brilliant location. The staff were friendly end helpful. Rooms are clean and spacious. Sitting outside in the evening next to the pool is lovely. However as it was a business trip I did not get to enjoy the facilities as much as I would have liked, but will come back with my partner to do so.

Maybe adding a coffee machine in the room would give an extra bonus, but otherwise loved everything!

The staff were amazing- super friendly and helpful, excellent customer service and nothing was too much trouble. Visited for my Husband’s 40th Birthday :-) Amazing facilities (pools, rooftop jacuzzi) and the place smelled divine! Romantic and classic feel with beautiful gardens!
