Hotels near Provincia d＇Italia Suore Orsoline Unione Romana in Desenzano del Garda

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

This is an excellent hotel, ideally located, with very welcoming, professional staff including Mikka and Francesca who always assisted the buffet breakfast with a smile. Indeed the breakfast is excellent with a large variety of options to suit varied tastes and diets. I had a room with a beautiful view of the lake. Room was light and spotlessly clean. Highly recommend this hotel and hope to return one day.

Great hotel and lovely atmosphere. All it was very good also the food. My children really enjoyed tge animation after dinner time. We had a departure quite early in the morning and they prepared for us 2 big breakfast. Wonderful service. I'll come back for sure.

Look no further, because this boutique hotel is excellent. Its location is unbeatable (400 m way from Scaliger Castle) and the private beach is such a welcome feature. The hotel’s interiors and grounds are both manicured and beautiful. Rooms are super clean and spacious (we stayed in junior suite with a lake front). Beds and pillows are very comfortable. The views of the Lake Garda are so therapeutic. They would nurture your soul, while the thermal water pool (temp. 27 C) would rejuvenate your body. Add a 7-day Spa treatment into the mix, as we did, and you would be one relaxed and happy person. Service is top-notch. Nothing is a problem or a bother for the hotel’s personnel. Gloria, Francesca, Sofia, Gerardo and Alessandro, to name but a few, would resolve any of your requests/concerns with a genuine appreciation that you are on vacation and there to relax. Speaking of relaxation - this is an adult-only hotel. Patrons are sophisticated, private and pleasant. In short, this hotel, its staff and their hospitality may “ruin” other hotels for you. We liked everything about this lovely hotel and, undoubtedly, will be back. Thank you for having us Ocelle!

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel as the service from everyone, including the manager, was amazing. The customer service training was clearly embedded, even the cleaning staff said good morning. The outdoor pool area along with the views of the lake were fantastic. There was a lovely promenade walk at the back of the hotel by the lake, The food at breakfast was outstanding and the bar service was excellent too. A nice touch carrying our drinks to the room of an evening. Drinks costs more here than the local resturants Points to note: The hotel is a 50 min walk from the main town Desenzano. There is a clear path to follow The ferry timetables change in the winter and we didnt get to the north of the lake because of the time it would take on the ferry. The hotel offered one free shuttle bus service to town thereafter its 25 euros Download the Arriva bus time table, the buses are 95% reliable. Bus stops are outside the hotel and are only about 4 euros. Will need cash With hindsight we should of travelled around more and stayed in the nearby cities. From Desenzano station, Verona 30 mins, Venice 90 min, Milan 60 mins. Great Pizza place next to the hotel - Il Lido A n excellent location to see some of the best sights of Italy .

The staff at this quaint hotel in a great location in sirmione were so lovely. We have one complaint, no tea or coffee facilities in our rooms, in Europe we were disappointed in this, otherwise a very pleasant stay.

We booked for one night only during our trip around Italy and we were pleasantly surprised by the location. When we arrived, we noticed that a wedding was going on and upon check in we asked about the wedding. The person at the front deck gave a warm welcome and informed that the wedding would finish latest at Midnight and we were worried that the music would disturb us. The Manager at the reception, seen our worry, informed us that he would upgrade our room to an upper category and on the opposite side of the wedding so we would not be disturbed, allowing us for a later check out the day after as well, which we could not take advantage of, unfortunately. It was a very nice and caring touch which we appreciated. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. We slept very good and in the morning we had a delicious breakfast on the terrace with a stunning view on the courtyard. The staff was very kind and caring, and too bad that we could stay only for one night, but we will for sure be back if we go in the area.

I only stayed one night in this hotel but I was very good. I booked a double-view room with lake view and I have to say that the view is really wonderful. The staff is kind and careful, we arrived before check-in and we were allowed to access the pool, which is beautiful because you have a great view of something from here, because the hotel is on a small hill. the comfortable room The hotel was very comfortable and spacious with a beautiful terrace with table and chairs to enjoy the panorama. The bathroom was provided with sets of courtesy in rechargeable bottles, very green! At night we had dinner in the hotel, the cuttings were excellent! Breakfast is very rich, which can enjoy on the terrace. When I read other reviews I was worried about the runers, in fact it felt the noise of the winds of the bathroom next door, but in the night it was quiet and I sleeped well. overall it was a very pleasant experience

Soggiornato per tre notti al vip's per una vacanza in pieno ottobre a Garda! Che dire hotel rispecchio molto bene tutti i canoni di relax e riposo proprio per staccare la spina! Personale gentilissimo e struttura bellissima e curata, molto comodo il servizio di accedere con la macchina direttamente dalla porta della camera senza andare a trovare parcheggio altrove! L'unica pecca la colazione un pò scarsa ma tutto sommato ottimo per un weekend! La posizione molto strategico per tutti i dintorni di garda. Ci ritornerò per un altro weekend nei dintorni. RECENSIONI PIÚ CHE POSITIVA!!!!!!

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!
