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

Rooms ( 2) smaller than we expected, basic but adequate for a week. Staff spoke excellent English and very helpful and efficient. Restaurant limited but good quality. Wine (18euro) and water /soft drinks ((3.50) bit pricey but then the whole resort is compared to other parts of lake. Typical continental breakfast . Free use of safe. Bar area could be... more

My wife and I are just back from two weeks in Desenzano and we enjoyed our stay at the Oliveto. It`s about a ten minute walk to the town but the location is very nice. From our room we could only see a little of the lake but that was because of so many beautiful trees in the area. It... more

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... more

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... more

nice hotel, staff is very friendly and the hotel is quite in a wonderfull place ( front of Garda Lake) , the room are very big and clean and the price is quite cheap for this kind of hotel. more

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. more
