"The owner was very helpful, I asked for a kettle and there was one waiting when we got there. She checked everything was ok , after we had done self checkin and check out. The location is a further out than we expected, we knew it wasn’t near the lake, but there was nothing near by , you definitely need a car … Fridge in room , and a microwave in the hall for everyone to use . It’s above a pizza restaurant , so you can eat there some nights ( wasn’t open Tuesday) but it was over the weekend....

"Good location for walking down to desenzano. Had a couple of issues on arrival which meant no blinds in the bedroom for a couple of nights but the agency were prompt to sorting it & apologetic. The apartment was a little dated but all in all it was a good spot & easy to get around. The bed was 2 singles pushed together so they often split during the night which made it a little uncomfortable. The balcony was nice for the evening & the property was well equipped. "

"Insgesamt eine ganz niedliche Unterkunft. Minuspunkte aber gibt’s für die Umgebung. Die Unterkunft liegt direkt an einer Straße, wo die Autos im Affentempo vorbei rasen, direkt daneben hinter Gebüsch verlaufen die Bahngleise, die Züge fahren oft, schnell und bis in die Nacht. Es ist extrem laut. Abends draußen sitzen macht daher nicht soviel Spaß. Da es nur ein Fenster/Tür gibt, ist die Wohnung recht dunkel."

"A fantastic stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. The hotel is impeccably clean throughout, and there was a good choice for breakfast. Location is perfect and quiet, yet less than a two minute walk to the main square and ferry point. A special mention goes to the staff who are so incredibly friendly and very helpful. It was a pleasure to stay here."

"We loved our stay here and if we were in the area again we would stay again! We were staying over my boyfriends birthday and the staff (Micol and Deborah in particular) were so helpful, I got in touch before our stay and they helped arranged a bottle of bubbles for arrival and then a cake to be delivered at breakfast. We then had a lovely room with a balcony with great views too - very modern & lovely and clean! The staff were extremely helpful during our stay, helping arranging taxis too - nothing was too much of an ask! The breakfast spread was great, good fuel for busy days and the Hugo spritz’s from the bar too were delish. Good location too, a slight walk from the main centre but that was great for us. It was lovely and quiet back at the hotel and the sunset walks along the lake were beautiful. Overall we had a great stay and I would highly recommend!"
