My wife and I booked this hotel based on past recommendations here on Tripadvisor and were not disappointed. We were warmly welcomed by the ladies that run the hotel, who were only too happy to spend time equipping us with maps, restaurant suggestions and general advise for getting around. Were made to feel extremely welcome. The rooms were well above... more

We stayed at Hotel Giardinetto for 4 nights in September to celebrate my partners 30th birthday. We had a fabulous time, the weather was great, the breakfast was lovely and Sara and Grace were excellent hosts. On his birthday, they bought him a cake and had it sent up to the room - I didnt ask for this, it was... more

We were travelling by train so this was an ideal location. Situated 5 mins walk from the station and 5 mins from the town centre where the ferries were located for the southern resorts on Lake Garda. As with most of the reviews, we found Sara an excellent host, extremely helpful with advice on local restaurants and travelling. Not a... more

What a lovely friendly family hotel! Just what we wanted. Sara spoke English and helped with trips and local good restaurants. The rooms were spotless and breakfast was good. We were always asking for advice and never once did she let us down! The glasses of wine on the small terrace were often accompanied by bread and cheese. There is... more

Having escaped from a rather unpleasant experience in a nearby hotel we were welcomed with open arms by Sara and her family. We had two rooms as singles - one had a balcony with a view of the lake and mountains in the distance. Both rooms were very clean and comfortable - but with quite a bit of noise from... more

However, I believe that the Hotel Giardinetto rated as a way above average choice of hotel for us and therefore, merits an... more

Hotel Giardinetto is ideally situated. The road directly opposite the Raiway station. A 5 min walk on your right. Carry on 5 mins downhill to the centre of Desenzano. There is a small harbour at Desanzano wher you can get the boat to other destinations around Garda. All the boats run exact to time. I cannot praise the hotel enough.... more

We stayed here from Tuesday 25th till Friday 28th September. The hotel is placed between the railway station and the town, ideal if you are travelling by train. The hotel is very clean and it is family run and Sara who spoke wonderful english and her family are very kind. Our room (No 9) had a nice little balcony and... more

We stayed at the Giardinetto for 3 nights in Sept 2006 and we weren't disappointed. The hotel is 5 mins walk from the railway station and well located, just a short walk to the lake. The front of the hotel is quite pretty on approach and has a grand looking entrance which is welcoming. The staff were very approachable and... more
