The hotel was exceptionally comfortable with very friendly staff. Our room was spotless, spacious and very quiet with very comfortable beds and pillows. The breakfast was extremely good with lots of choice including freshly squeezed orange juice and also an actual vegetable juicer available. We had a meal in the main restaurant on one night and the food and service were excellent. The location overlooks the lake with lovely views and it is also within walking distance of the main town centre. There are spaces to relax both inside the hotel and outside in the grounds so overall it is a great place to unwind. We would highly recommend the Villa Rosa Hotel. Also Desenzano is a good place as a base to explore other areas / towns on the lake and in the wider region. For instance there is a beautiful town called Salo which is approximately 30 minutes by bus and well worth visiting. Verona can be reached by a regular train service, again in approximately 30 minutes.

Nothing.

The hotel itself is lovely but what really impressed me was the staff. Everyone in the hotel was there to help. Every evening the reception team asked us what we were doing the next day and made some great recommendations of places to visit. The bar is small but well furnished with a nice outside area overlooking the lake. Drinks were reasonable priced - €10 for a good measure Gin and Tonic. The room was lovely with a nice balcony over looking the lake. The weather was not great when we stayed (Late September) but we sat out most evenings enjoying the view. The bathroom was well equipped. The room had a TV with Sky which meant you could get international stations to listen to news. Tea/coffee facilities in the room. There was a minibar but we did not use the stock. The pool areas was compact but there were more than enough beds for the guests to use. Breakfast was superb with a good selection of continental or traditional breakfast choices available. the whole area was very clean and the staff helpful with any off-menu requests. The hotel itself is a short 5-10 minute walk to the centre. There are lots of excellent restaurants available. We did not have a bad meal all holiday. There was a good selection of shops as well which were not overly priced for quality products. I would recommend having a car to visit some of the other towns around the lake. The roads are excellent and there are some amazing views. Go to Tremosine sul Garda for spectacular views from high up. Be prepared for some heart in mouth driving though as the roads to the top as narrow and very windy with buses and trucks coming the other direction! Salo is also very nice to walk through the shopping alleys and the nice lake front promenade. Finally plan half a day in Sirmione which is a 10 miinute drive or bus from the hotel or 60 minute walk. Absolutely amazing place.

If I had to find a fault I would say parking. There are 10 free parking spots at the hotel but difficult to get depending on the time of day. There is a chargeable carpark under the hotel so always somewhere to park even if you have to pay. Other than that I am struggling to find anything wrong - this really is a lovely place to stay and highly recommended.

Breakfast was excellent, always well stocked and staff attentive. The hotel is wonderful, views over the lake from the front rooms are fantastic. We were very impressed with cleanliness of the rooms. We had drinks and snacks brought to the pool when using it over lunch also.

The road noise especially on a Friday night and weekends is annoying, cars and motorcycles cruise by regularly with noisy exhausts. This is by no means a reflection of the hotel services, just something to be aware of if staying in a lake view room to the front aspect of the property.

Our stay at Villa Rosa Desenzano del Garda was nothing short of perfect. The staff were fantastic—warm, professional, always happy to help. My wife and I experienced brilliant service throughout, from check-in to the excellent evening meal, which was a real treat. We loved the complimentary canapés with our drinks—a lovely touch. The building is beautifully maintained, with a spotless swimming pool and relaxing lounge area. Just across the road from a pebble beach, 10-minute walk along the newly renovated lakeside promenade takes you to the town centre, and it’s only 30 minutes from the train station with great links to Verona and Venice.

A lovely hotel in a good situation overlooking the lake. Very clean. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. Giving guidance on timetables what to see and TV channels and promptly dealing with our request for extra bedding. We had a standard twin room that was good although it was lacking enough storage space for our things. The selection at breakfast was very good my friend particularly like the smoothy maker and the orange juice squeezer. And it was nice to sit on the terrace with a view of the lake. Would recommend.

maybe a better selection of toiletries and some biscuits would have been nice for the price paid. There was a very high end restaurant which was well recommended but we didn't use as it had only one vegetarian option on the whole menu which seems a bit of an oversight.

EXCEPTIONAL staff! So friendly and helpful. Great location. Comfortable and very clean.

Lack of complimentary water and poor quality coffee in the room. Pool was always very cold.

Location was beautiful , the hotel was really lovely , very good quality and the staff were really helpful with advice and finding taxis for us . Breakfast was wonderful with a great fruit , yogurt and seeds collection , lovely bread and cakes as well as hot breakfast and continental offering . The location is slightly away from the main town so it’s quieter and less hustle but just 5-10 mins walk back to the bustle of town and the ferry port for boats across the lake . It’s such a well turned out hotel for the money we would definitely stay again . Car park onsite plus the pool which is a bonus .

Nothing

Breakfast was great- lots of choice and being able to make ur own fruit and veg juice a bonus. The staff in the hotel were amazing!! So friendly and couldn’t help us enough…. Pool area was lovely and very relaxing and our room overlooking Lake Garda was so comfortable

There wasn’t a lot of space downstairs to sit. It rained one day and all the seats were taken so we just stayed in the room Somewhere to get a small snack or chocolate bar etc would be good

5 Star Service Thanks to Nicolo! I recently visited villa rosa and was incredibly impressed by the reception staff, particularly Nicolo. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and always had a smile on his face while answering all of my questions. Nicolo's positive attitude and willingness to go the extra mile made a significant difference in my experience. Thanks to him, my visit to villa rosa was smooth and enjoyable. If you're looking for a welcoming and helpful environment, look no further than Villa rosa And if you're lucky, you might just be greeted by the fantastic Nicolo!

Service was excellent. Super restaurant. Lovely pool. Very clean. Nice to have evening aperitivo. Good location.

Steps into pool need a handrail for older/less mobile people.
