We had some friends that had stayed at the Hotel Desiree in 2007 and recommended the hotel. After reading some of the reviews on here on tripadvisor.com we were a little worried. Wow... we had absolutely no reason for concern. Daniel Terranova and his staff were great! I asked him today how long he had been at the hotel and... More

We book via internet a deluxe room, the pictures and reviews were fine. At the end, we must say that it was one of the worst hotel stays ever. I am a frequent traveller, for business as well as leisure and use to stay in 4 and 5stars hotels. The room was nothing like in the pictures, very old furniture,... More

My two weeks at the Hotel Desiree have left an indelible memory: it was wonderful! What was special? Not just the small bay, beautiful and cozy, but also the room, a luminous spotless “junior suite”, the food (excellent!), the aquagym, the Pilates training... and above all the people in the Hotel: everything was made with care, offered with a smile...

Nicely located in a small bay, the hotel offers you a clean beach that is shared with one other hotel. The swimming pool is large (salt water). Our hotel room was cleaned every day and the standard of cleaning was above average Italian, almost Swiss. The breakfast buffet offers you a selection of two fruit juices, several kinds of bread,...

This was the worse hotel that I have ever had the misfortune of staying in. To list the problems of this hotel would require too much time and space, but I will list the most important ones: 1) In the summer you must pay for half board (bkfst and dinner). However, the food is terrible. The dinner is of the... More

I am astonished in reading your review which I also find unfair and untrue in certain issues, such as food quality (98% of our guests find it excellent/good based on the forms they filled in). On other issues like air conditioning, I'm really sorry for the inconvenience, but you have never reported to our reception staff otherwise we could have... More

I just wanted to say that we had a beautiful holiday in Hotel Desiree. Of course prices are a bit high, but we noticed that also the service offers high quality! I just now requested a new offer for our holiday in the middle of may.....let's see if we get an attractive offer and that we get the same room... More

We were firstly given a room which over looked the car park , didn't have a balcony nor even had a full size window. It was outdated, small and not in good condition. To be fair to the manager he "upgraded" us to a room with a sea view and a balcony but it still didn't look anything like the... More

We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights, half board, during our honeymoon in July. We chose this hotel for the opportunity to chill out for a few days after a few days touring around Pisa and Siena. The hotel is what I would call a fairly traditional italian hotel - which we love. In other words it's not a... More

It is the perfect hotel for families with young children. The location is really nice, with the beach and a very nice, clean sea in front of the rooms. We had two interconnecting rooms and they worked well for us. They were clean and decorum was sauber, but pleasant. The only thin we did not like was that our hotel... More

We booked this hotel over the internet and were so disappointed when we arrived. A taxi cost about 40 euros to get there and our hearts sank when we entered reception. It has a real feel of a holiday camp about it and when we were shown the room it had the most dreadful smell. They showed us two more... More

Are you sure it was the Hotel Désirée that you visited? have a look on our website and see for yourself if we have the holiday camp look. But let me respond to some incorrect information you are providing: 1) the cost for a taxi from Portoferraio to our hotel is € 25 and not € 40 2) the use... More
