Does the Best Western franchise name no favours at all. It's as lakeside as Buckingham Palace is to the lake in St James' Park and whilst we did have a lake view from our top floor room on the front of the hotel I suspect the views could be very limited from lower floors or side rooms. Internally the very grand marble entrance belies the very dingy narrow bedroom hallways and the need to put the lights on for yourself all the time. Dated furniture and decoration, unhelpful staff and a really 'mean' approach to breakfast service gave the place an exceptionally unwelcoming feeling. Balcony no use in the evening as the lights used to illuminate the front of the hotel made it a magnet for every sort of insect. Every morning at breakfast at least two items had run out and were not replaced until a guest asked - the ham & cheese were both processed and virtually see through, no salami or mortadella. The dinner menu changed daily but was neither inspiring nor inviting, limited to 3 primi plati, (7.5 - 10€) 3 secondi plati (12 - 15€) and 2 dolci (6.5€) which on the cheapest options would cost 26€ each without drinks, bottled beer was 4€. To use the hotel hire towels around the swimming pool was 3€ each towel every time you hired one and the fact that it advertises indoor and outdoor pools is deceptive as the indoor one closes as the outdoor one opens up in May. .A thoroughly cheerless experience and absolutely not deserving of 4 star rating.

“Excellent location”

Milton Keynes, England
May 6, 2008

Stayed here for a week recently and would recommend it. The hotel is situated only 10-15 minutes walk from the town centre which is ideal as it is away from the noise and hustle and bustle at night and the walk is by the lake.

Our hotel room was a bit 'basic' as in it was adequate for our needs but looked and felt dated, although the bathroom appeared to be new and updated. We had a balcony overlooking the outdoor swimming pool and the lake.

The staff were polite and spoke good english. Breakfast was typically european, ie croissants, toast, butter, cheese, cake (!) but it was more than adequate.

Would recommend this hotel certainly for it's location and overall ideal for any couple on a week or two week stay.

    • Liked — Scenery and clendliness of the room and the hotel overall
    • Disliked — The decor in the room was dated and odd pictures on the walls in the coridoors!

hotel oliveto, desenzano
Oct 18, 2007

Our week's stay at the Oliveto was disappointing. We travelled with Thomsons. The rooms were small, the swimming pool so very cold, breakfasts rather limited, the evening meals were inadequate and very boring, and no room in the reception area to sit for a drink. Certainly not a 4T hotel by past experiences.

My husband and I loved this hotel as soon as we walked in. The rooms are spacious and the hotel is very clean. Had a balcony that overlooked the lake and the Swiss Alps. The staff is super friendly and very helpful with requests.

Breakfast was great. Had selection of cereal, breads, fruit, yogurt, pastries, sandwich meat and cheese.

It is about a 15 minute walk to town and the ferry, but the sidewalk runs along the Lake. Felt very safe walking in the early morning and late at night.

We would stay again in a heartbeat.
