Excellent location, great breakfast & so tasty. Rooms cleaned every day. We stayed in the regular double room with a balcony. We had a stunning view over looking the pool and could see the lake in the distance. The hotel was a 5 min walk from the station and 10 mins down hill to the centre. I would highly recommend Hotel Benaco when staying in Desenzano. Great value for money.

At certain times, evening & morning, I heard a lot of noise (talking & animals) from other rooms.

Welcoming staff, stylish foyer, enticing swimming pool - all gave a good impression upon arrival. The room was immaculately clean and the bed extremely comfortable. Little squares of chocolate to go with the provided coffee always go down well. The terrace was small but adequate - if we'd been staying more than one night we might have asked for a better view! Excellent choice at breakfast.

Little to fault - though, having recently survived a pavement accident in Verona, I would suggest that the loose and broken paving slabs on the room terrace should be remedied urgently. The hotel is convenient for the station but a bit of a walk from the delights of Decenzano's lakeside - no problem if you're fit but maybe worth thinking about if you have any mobility issues.

The Greeting by Pamela was extraordinary. That smile that Understanding of my request and the kindness I will chemisch in my heart forever. The delicious chocolate which is complimentary is a plus too . Cute interior Design. Cute small Single room enough for my stay. With an exceptional breakfast. 3 min from the Train Station.

A fridge in my room would've made my stay perfect ..Well if weather. Or Pool would have been heated. Haha as I so wanted to swim As i packed a swimsuit...but I think I mistead or it wasnt really stated That its just later that year open or warm enough to use it.

Great bits would be - handy for the train station, helpful and friendly staff, calm and clean pool area you could use until late, snacks delivered poolside, comfy lounge area, good breakfast options, AMAZING air con, large balcony, a cute ginger kitty (though don't pester too much or you will get a swipe haha!), small gym area, lovely cleaning team who kept leaving my greedy daughter chocolates haha. Free use of a safe, plus hairdryer, lots of storage space, shower gel and such. As far as the area there are a few nearby stores (gelato/cafe/wine/fruit and veg) and then more stores and restaurants as you head down to Desenzano town. Absolutely gorgeous town and a handy hub for getting places (we visited Sirmione via ferry, hired a boat and then visited Verona from this hotel, after that we travelled by rail to Milano and Bergamo to our next destinations.)

I would suggest for anyone older or with health issues to perhaps stay closer to the town. We got a little tired at times walking a lot in the heat. Worth noting you are on a busy road, however this didn't bother us. As far as the hotel itself and it's staff I could not say a bad word :)

Benaco Hotel was the best 3* hotel we ever stayed. We wanted to extend but it was already full. The decoration of the common areas is just amazing, they’ve done a very good job. Also the rooms are beautiful, with spacious bathroom and good amenities. Breakfast was of top quality, they buy good things and it’s obvious that they want to provide nice food with fresh & good ingredients. We loved the coffee, the pancake making machine and the croissants.

Everything was great really! It deserves more stars! Good job!

The Buffet Breakfast was very good and the only thing missing was fresh fruit. The Coffee from the machine was outstanding, the best I have ever tasted in a Hotel. The bedroom was spacious, very comfortable and quiet.

In the Breakfast room, the chairs made an enormous amount of noise each time they were moved across the tiled floor. This was a major source of stress during Breakfast. This sort of issue is easy to fix and I recommend you do so as soon as possible.

The breakfast is excellent, everything one could wish for…we particularly liked the pancake maker! Our room was rather small but clean and adequate with a good balcony.. A delightful pool and pool area. A very pleasant short walk to the centre. We have stayed at the hotel Benaco many times and love Desenzano

There was really nothing we didn’t like..

Lovely family run small hotel in a great location, 5 minutes away from the train station and 10 minutes walk into the town. The pool was lovely and plenty of sun bed available throughout the day. Nice European breakfast with something for everyone. Staff super friendly and the little bar area was really nice. Clean hotel and nice rooms.

Didn’t have a iron

The rooms were clean and modern, with a good bathroom and comfy beds. The breakfast selection is lovely too. Whilst the walk up the hill from the town can be tough in the hot weather it was great to have the pool, as well as the air con in the room. Being a short walk from the train station is very convenient.

The pillows were not comfortable at all.

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Benaco, we only stayed two nights but the staff were very friendly and accommodating, the hotel is in a great location for the lake and the train station. The pool and garden area were very pretty! It was great to have a balcony and the room was a good size and clean.

The shower seemed slightly small and in our opinion the bed was too hard for us.
