Hotel berhampiran Spiaggia Fornasette, Desenzano del Garda

Hotel was clean and well laid out. Room we had -116- overlooked the rear. No decent view. Room compact but ok. Bathroom small and awkward. Shower cubicle very small. Breakfast good. Bed good. No kettle/hot drinks in room? Asked for kettle but was refused. Bar area nice but under-used. Pool small but welcome. Roof has excellent terrace with great views, seating, sun beds and jacuzzi. As mentioned by others, the matriarch is ever present. She did not acknowledge us on any occasion - not even a smile, or a ‘Buongiorno’. Shouted a lot at her staff. This was not detrimental to our stay however, as the other staff were friendly. Strangely you have to ask for the air-con to be switched on in the room? The hotel was a good 20 minute walk downhill to the lake and 25 mins back. Only 5 min walk from station. Would stay again.

Fabulous location, just off the main square and the bars/restaurants. Boats/ferry virtually on the doorstop, so never had to go too far if we didn't want to. Train station about 15 mins walk away, easier downhill, not so quick on the way up with bags! For some reason I was expecting a smaller family run hotel. It seemed to be much bigger than I expected and that 'family feel' was lacking unfortunately. Majority of the time there was no one at reception and other than one staff member (or family) the rest seemed pretty uninterested. The hotel room was brown and although had 2 windows, looked onto the back of the building making the room felt quite dark. It was quiet though as long as the windows were closed and the room was clean. A continental breakfast was included. We were there for a week and unfortunately after the first couple of days there was no fruit available and from day 3/4 most of the breakfast offerings were mostly gone at least half hour before breakfast ended, which led to a few disgruntled guests and a few leaving still hungry. Other than breakfast, we did eat at the hotel a couple of times. The food was nice, though I felt a bit overpriced. Service was good on the first occasion but pretty indifferent on the second occasion. It felt like the owners' priority was on running the restaurants, which were busy, both at lunchtime and evening. The hotel was very convenient but overpriced for what it offered...but then I guess we went peak time...! I don't think I would rebook the hotel if I was to go back to Desanzano.

What a hotel! If you’re looking to visit Lake Garda and in particular the town of Desenzano, I would heartily recommend The Park Hotel. The welcome, every time you walk into the hotel, is warm, friendly and genuine. All of the staff were, without exception, incredibly polite and helpful. Our room was immaculately clean, the beds comfortable and the en-suite bathroom very stylishly presented. Warning! The shower is addictive, once in its warm embrace you will not want to leave its company. Copious towels and toiletries are provided every day. There is a mini bar with soft and alcoholic drinks (not complimentary) but no hot drink facilities in the room. Having said that, you can get a drink at anytime from the bar and every afternoon between 1600hrs and 1730hrs, free coffee and biscuits are available at the bar/reception. The bar is well stocked and the prices are comparable to local bars and restaurants. For example, cocktails are €10 and very nicely prepared. Breakfast is delicious and the options are varied - including cereal, fresh fruit, pastries, toast, cold meats, cheeses and various egg options. Some options incur extra charges but we ate our fill without the need of them. We ate in the restaurant on one evening. OMG! The food was AMAZING! Beautifully presented, absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection and served by friendly and attentive staff who explained each dish. Without doubt the best meal we had all week and NOT expensive. The menu in the rooms is a little confusing as it list the three course meal as €120 per person - it’s NOT. You just pay for what you order so please don’t be put off - you risk missing a wonderful experience. The hotel is ideally situated near to the main food and drink area of the town, with the Ferry Terminal less than five minutes walk from the Foyer. We visited most of the lake towns in a week by using the boats. A real bonus was the two street markets - Sunday morning and all day Tuesday, where good quality clothes can be found - particularly cashmere and leather goods. They are right outside the hotel door but not intrusive with noise or nuisance - but they are BUSY so if you don’t like crowds, use the back door to avoid them. All in all, a hotel I would recommend for every reason and can fault for nothing. To the management and staff - Grazie Mille!

If you are looking for comfortable and affordable accommodation in Desenzano, here it is! The hotel and all the amenities are wonderful (notably the comfy bed, the delicious breakfast, and the well-maintained rental bikes). But what stands out most of all is the kindness and helpfulness of the owners and staff. A wonderful place full of wonderful people!

A lovely hotel in a great spot. All the staff without exception were very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts had a good range. The bar and terrace were good. We had a standard twin room which was very clean , a bit more storage space and a greater range of toiletries would have been nice for the the price. The restaurant was obviously highly rated but only had one vegetarian dish on the menu so we did not dine there. Overall a very pleasant hotel would stay there again

Just back from a fantastic week at hotel Vinci. The hotel rooms are modern, fresh and clean with plenty of space. We had a Junior Garden Suite and a Superior Room. Pool area and decking looking out to the lake were just perfect for relaxing, with the occasional cocktail and snack. The staff are all so friendly and were always at hand to help with any needs and assisted with restaurant recommendations, booking taxis etc. The location of the hotel is close enough to the old town (5 mins walk) but also far enough away from the busy streets. Sirmione is busy during the day but does quieten down a bit at night. We didn’t hire a car and used taxis for transfers to airport and Verona. The street outside the hotel can get quite busy during the day. We absolutely loved everything about this hotel and will definitely look to return in the future.

Posto assolutamente fantastico, pulizia nei minimi dettagli, piscina e relax. Non fatevi condizionare dalla parola motel..... da ritornarci Colazione abbondante e variegata, dal salato al dolce. Posto strategico per raggiungere sirmione e Desenzano
