We just got back from a 3 days trip staying at the Piccola Vela. What a nice and cozy hotel! The staff was super friendly and took well care of us, location could not have been better (5 minutes walk into the city of Desenzano), free outside and inside parking, the rooms were comfortable and clean..... a really great place... more

I came here for a long weekend on my own and had a wonderful time. The staff were really helpful. The food was great. The pool was just the right size and there was a lovely deck to sunbathe on. Out the back, there is a lovely, peaceful garden. Centrally located. Would recommmend this hotel. Have a great stay. Top... more

Very brief: Good points: 1. Friendly staff 2. Clean rooms with lovely view of the lake 3. Good locations, with walking distance from Disenzano main town & ferry boat 4. Excellent restaurant across the street (directly opposite, cant remember the name - but it was a brown sign....) would recommend the fresh fish of the day OR the Penne arribiata... more

My husband and I have just returned from a 10 day holiday staying at the Piccola Vela, which is a little gem. All the staff are very friendly, polite and nothing was too much trouble. The garden at the back is very pleasant and quiet with the swimming pool in the front, again surrounded by pretty gardens. We had half... more

We were a party of 6 adults who spent 4 nights at the Piccola Vela in August. We arrived by train to find no taxis at the station, after waiting 30 mins we decided to contact the hotel who then kindly arranged for a taxi to collect us within 5 mins. As there were 6 of us the same taxi... more

The food was excellent and varied. The staff were very pleasant and always made the effort to please. Just one little gripe about the... more

My husband and I have just returned from a 7 night stay with 7 friends. On the whole we feel the hotel should be sold as a 3star and not a 4 as we were expecting. Some of the rooms were in need of a refurb, although all were very clean. We had booked half board, and the food was... more

We have stayed at this hotel a number of times now. It is great as far as location goes which with two young children (aged 2 and 5) is a must. Down the road towards the harbour to catch the boat to venture round the other quaint towns around the lake and up the hill to the train station to... more

My husband and I spent one week at Hotel Piccola Vela in july 2006. We really liked the hotel and the place. We arrived by train from Milano, and walked to the hotel (about 15 min). Our room was quite small, but nice and clean. Lovely bathroom. Small balcony with table and two chairs. Breakfast is good and varied, we... more
