What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Had a really good stay here with my wife. Cristina and Sofia were great. Our room was comfortable, clean, and very well decorated.”
“Highly recommend this excellent boutique hotel in Desenzano. Having seen this well reviewed, with lovely individual designed rooms, I was delighted to see this hotel live up to its deserved reputation. The room we stayed in was lovely, large, and very comfortable. The bathroom was also very quaint and it felt like the features of the building were really embraced. The staff could not have been nicer. We received a Whatsapp ahead of our stay and that made the whole experience a lot easier. A very warm welcome and any help for the trip easily provided. Would go back and stay there if in the area again happily.”
