Piccola Vela

The place fantastic. We loved the staff, the beautiful gardens, the breakfast, the location, the hot tub, the views.

The room was small but it had a balcony that looked to the garden and one of the pools so all in all was fabulous.

Location was good. Staff was good. Breakfast was excellent. Room was clean and comfortable.

We spent 4 nights in the hotel, which was our base to travel around Garda Lake. I was looking for a less touristy place and happy we chose Desenzano . It has a beautiful promenade just a few minutes from the hotel. A small and lovely old city also easily reachable by foot. The Tuesdays street market is just a few minutes away too. 30 min by car to GardalandThe hotel is beautifully designed! We stayed in a room near the hot water pool (great for September!), not in the main building. We enjoyed the fact they provided bath robe even for our young daughter, really nice touch.The service is one of the strongest points of the hotel. Everyone were very attentive and nice during checking in and out and especially at breakfast! The cleaning was great as well, including organizing our daughters toys on the bed :)The breakfast has great verity- you can choose from the menu and from a buffet, all tasty and classy. Including tea and coffee to order, but not an orange juice which costs extra. The breakfast sitting area is beautiful as well, but the service beats everything! Thank you The hotel has it’s parking and we didn’t have any trouble finding a spot Overall, great choice for Desenzano.

Our room had a weird odor and we couldn’t figure out if it was a mosquitos spray or something elseThe shower didn’t have a curtain, it was bathtub so when using it as shower the water splashed all overIt was a bit small for a couple plus one child so I would book a bigger room next time

Small boutique hotel.Nice breakfast

A/c was not strong.

The location was good, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was good for a short stay, it was clean and the hotel property outside was absolutely stunning. They have 3 pools and a beautiful garden surrounding the hotel.

The bathroom didn’t have a stand alone shower, but instead it had a large bathtub with a shower head but without a shower curtain, which made it a bit tricky to avoid getting water all over the bathroom floor.

Such a beautiful spot. Very nice spacious common areas . The restaurant, bar and outside pool area are comfy with lots of trees and greenery . Rooms are roomy, we had a view of the mountains behind the hotel . 2 balcony’s. Breakfast was always delicious and the coffee and juices were fresh. Everyone was pleasant and helpful. We would come back for sure

The property itself is very nice, chick, well-maintained, has a beautiful rooftop terrace with a jacuzzi, good breakfast

Unfriendly reception on arrival — no information while we waited two hours to check in, passports taken without saying when they’re gonna be returned. Family room was noisy due to drilling, and staff seemed to reserve their smiles and attention for the posh guests. We love Garda, but will stay elsewhere next time.

The breakfast was delicious, elegant, and full of choices, both on the buffet and available to order made fresh, like eggs and pancakes. The atff was very friendly and willing to help in any way. The property is luscious and green and flowering- it feels like a garden oasis. The garden pool was almost always in the shade in summer which we liked. The location is a quick walk from the center.

The room was a little small for 2 adults, child and 3 suitcases. The shower sprayed water all over the floor and over the edges of the tub.

Very friendly staff and beautiful scenery

I could hear noises from all the floor and on the second day there was a small spider on my bed. That’s no big deal, but I found it too pricey for the state of the facility.

Everything was fantastic. The hotel was beautiful, breakfast was great. Grounds and hotel that were pictured in the photos were accurate in person. Well located near the town center which was an easy walk.

A lovely hotel, with extremely friendly and helpful staff. We had a very well sized room with an exceptionally comfortable bed. Delicious breakfast too.

Well located - within 10 mins walk to the pier and 2 mins drive to the train station. The hotel is tastefully designed, with welcoming staff and good food.

Staff was outstanding. Rooms were immaculate, grounds were well kept and lovely. Restaurant and food were wonderful.

We had a lovely stay at Piccola Vela. The facilities were great, the pool and jacuzzi were a highlight! The grounds were lovely. Comfortable rooms and balcony. The staff were very accommodating, friendly and helpful with any and all requests. Breakfast was delicious.

The electronic door wasn’t working but was fine to lock with a key. Also not sure if the air conditioning was working but staff provided a fan to use.

The staff were amazing and very kind. Breakfast atmosphere and garden were exceptional. Beds were incredibly comfortable and we all slept so well. Really accessible for families with kids.We had an amazing stay.

Great location , nice views of Lake Garda. Friendly and attentive staff, and great garden pool facilities. The roof top sun deck and jacuzzi are excellent . Comfortable beds

Bathrooms are clean and functional but a bit dated as well as some of the room furniture.

Really good vibe, very classy looking hotel. Location was very good and probably one of the best we have stayed in for the price. Staff were really nice and helpful, service was the best we have seen in a while. The rooftop jacuzzi had a good booking system where you book it for your room for an hour a day. They also have 2 outdoor pools one of which is heated. Breakfast was good with a wide variety of food. Will definitely be staying here again if we are in the area.

The rooms were a bit hot but I think that’s because we didn’t know how to operate the Aircon properly.

Great staff Nice outdoor jacuzzis Good breakfast Hot shower

Wow! This hotel is amazing! All the staff are fabulous and make you feel so welcome and at home. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The service is outstanding, they remember what food and drink you like for breakfast, deliver drinks and snacks to the hot tub on the roof and recommend wonderful restaurants and days out. We have stayed in many hotels and this one is the best! Family friendly, hot tub and heated outdoor pool that was great to use in February. Comfortable beds, delicious breakfast and great location for walking into town and exploring Lake Garda. Highly recommend it and we will be back! Thank you all so much for a fantastic stay!
