Hotels in Desenzano del Garda with Swimming Pools

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

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.

The hotel is very clean and comfortable. The restaurant offers a high-level kitchen with good service. The rooms are large and all with a large balcony. There is also a free parking. Very satisfactory experience

Absolute 5 star review for this beautiful hotel. Very easy to get to, ample parking if driving in, and if coming on the train it is a simple 15 minute downhill straight walk. The hotel is beautiful, quirky yet classic, immaculately clean. Interesting artwork and ornaments on display, lots to look at! Reception staff are friendly, courteous and so pleasant, at all times! We stayed in room 102, it was warm, comfortable, spotlessly clean and very well appointed. Bathroom was well stocked with towels and toiletries. Mini bar was so cheap too!! Plenty of storage in our spacious room for luggage and clothes. Breakfast was amazing!!! One of the best breakfast experiences we have had on our travels, everything was beautifully fresh and well presented. Local area is lovely, plenty of shops and bars/restaurants within 10 mins. The harbour to catch the local ferries is across the road 2 minutes away. Park hotel, I would award 10 stars if I could, we enjoyed every minute and will return for sure! Grazie!

Spent more than 3 months in Il Sogno from April until early July first alone on business travel and at the end with the family. There are plenty of positive things mentioned in their reviews but I can not enough emphasize the top of the class service level that Salvatore and the whole staff are giving to their quests. They are always willing to serve you the best possible way and fulfill the requests that you might have! I stayed first 3 floor smaller apartment with separate bedroom and a kitchenette. Big balcony with views to the Garda lake was highly appreciated. With family we stayed 4th floor room 418 with 2 bedrooms and recently refurbished bathroom. Views from the large terrace are outstanding, not forgetting the living room area with full of light and view to the Garda lake. Kitchen here is small but we managed well. Air conditioning in 2 rooms was serving well good sleeps. Location is perfect for a holiday - few hundred meters to Decenzano's center & main attractions and less than 1 km to the railway station if want to travel to Milan or Venice. Personally I highly appreciated the road cycling possibilities around the Garda, to Verona or south from Garda. I can warmly recommend whoever visiting lake Garda area.

Pros: + A 5 min walk into the charming old town + Has a pool overlooking the lake + The cafe is quite nice (we only had drinks there but the menu looked competitive. + We had a very warm welcome from the staff who were pleased to see English tourists again + The room was large and air conditioning very good + Lovely breakfast with a nice view of the lake Cons: - A few improvements to the room would help - e.g. putting the mirror above the desk and chair and having a lighter key for when you carry it around with you (it was very ornate but heavy!) - Have a toilet in the pool area
