the hotel staff very pleasant and helpful .The thing that disappointed me and my wife was the menu two pasta choices and soup for starters,no problem with main courses,the sweet menu consisted of one kitchen made sweet,ice cream, fresh fruit.A more vairied menu is needed unless you like pasta and ice cream. more

The hotel was spotlessly clean. The staff were not very friendly. I wouldn't recommend doing any of the trips to Florence or the Dolomites if you request an early breakfast you get served coffee and lemon sponge fingers in the bar. If you get back from an excursion after 9pm the dining room is closed even when it says in... more

Stayed first week in August 09 half board, wife, me and two sons 17 & 12. Rooms good and cleaned every day. Air conditioning broke down once and it was too hot to sleep, but it was fixed the next day. We had a top floor room with a small balcony over looking the pool. Breakfast is continental style (no... more

Great location just away from the main centre - flat stroll. Friendly and helpful reception staff especially Fiorenza. Elegant restaurant with great food and masses of choice, very smart and chatty waiters. Nothing too much trouble. Bar if not manned, only had ro ask reception and immediate response. Airy rooms, beautifully clean as was all the hotel. Four star in... more

Though the hotel is a wee bit out of the main resort, a 10-15 minute walk is all it takes to find a decent cafe/bar. As others have reported, service at the bar is a bit hit-and-miss, but, if you ask at Reception, you'll be served quick enough. Bar slightly (though very clean) outdated rooms, and dark coridoors on the... more

Stayed for a week at the Hotel Oliveto, Desenzano on HB basis. The food was top class, plenty of choice at breakfast but dont expect a full english. The evening meals are superb and offer a choice of 3 starters, mains and desserts and the service in the restaurant is excellent. The rooms are throughly cleaned everyday and overall the... more

Not very friendly towards English people and too far away from the resort , was told there was a bus service but waited every day in vain, the weather was sunny and warm but no parasols were available at the pool, food was good but very little choice. we would not revisit this hotel. more

Spacious room, very clean with good bathroom. View was poor. The main issue is there is very little seating area around the bar which is unmanned, you have to ask reception for the service . It appears to me that the Management are missing an opportunity since many guests are reluctant, after a full day sighseeing, to venture far after... more

very disappointing stay.asked for a room with a view of the lake and a balcony (got a room with a view overlooking a corridor to leading to the swimming pool,)and asked for a non smoking room (got a room which smelled stake smoke).On top of this the breakfast was very limited and the hotel was a good way out of... more
