We stayed here for a week on a 2 centre holiday. The hotel is well located but on a busy road with some building work close by. Our room was at the back of the hotel overlooking the very quiet attractive garden. The room was adequate in size and well maintained and spotlessly clean. The staff were all very helpful... More

Warmly met by the owner at the front gate , who then carried suitcases to nice room overlooking the pool.The room was clean and well furnished. They even changed the towels twice each... More

The hotel was okay and food fair if a little unvaried as we were part of a Greta Rail Journeys Trip staying for the week. The biggest problem was the building site adjacent to the hotel which started up at around 8am each day including Saturday and ran until about 6pm daily. Relaxing in the hotel garden or by the...

Our local independent travel agent recommended this hotel - not a good idea. The hotel was very dirty and the food inedible (one night just one fried egg offered as main course!) we were expecting a good selection of Italian cuisine. The staff far from friendly one talking non stop about his hernia and his hospital appointments. One place I... More

All areas of the Piccola Vela were very clean and well presented. The room service was very good, linen and bedding changed regularly. The staff throughout were friendly and experienced in providing good service. The hotel is just a street back from the lakeside and within a few minutes walk to the lakeside path along the front of Desenzano, which... More

we have visited almost every year since we discoverd the Piccola Vela on a family recommendation nearly 10 years ago. Ten minutes pleasant lakeside stroll from the starting point for Lake Garda steamers and the centre of this lovely town. Hourly bus service from near the gate also to both many lake-side towns and to Verona. The hotel is the... More
