Stayed here for 2 nights with family. The B&B is walking distance to the center of Desenzano which was very convenient. Maddalena was very nice and accommodating. The breakfast was good--a selection of both sweet and savoury items but the highlight of breakfast was the AMAZING cappuccino we had every morning! The room we stayed at was the Blue room--it...

Dear guests, we are amazed for what you have written about the "ants" in your room. One the beauty of our Relais is the garden which sorrounds all the rooms. Obviously the same beauty can become a problem if our guests use to eat in the rooms. It is enough one only little crumb fallen down after the usual cleaning... More

We had a great stay. The room (il grande blu) is just like on the photos. The bathroom was great with a rainshower. The breakfast was good, especially the cappuccino in the morning. We travelled to different cities and stayed in different places and I must say that I have not had a better coffee in the morning! The host... More

We have just come back from two nights at this wonderful B&B. It is well located, just a short stroll to the lake and town centre.The decor is very original, but very tasteful and the place is spotless. The breakfast spread was very nice and all the food was very fresh. We were 2 couples who visited Lake Garda for... More

First impressions of this B&B are excellent. It's more a boutique hotel in feel and style. The reception is large, light and airy, with lots of seating, pretty coffee table books and of course the very helpful host, Maddalena. We stayed in the Shangri-La room which was the most expensive room but well worth the money given we were celebrating... More

We stayed for 5 nights as part of our honeymoon around Italy. We stayed in the White room. The owners even had a bottle of champagne on ice for us. The owners really could not do enough for us. They were lovely, and extremely helpful. The very centre of Desenzano was a 5 min stroll away. We had some lovely... More

We stayed at this B&B for four nights. The owners are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are all tastefully furnished and finished to a very high standard. It has the feel of a hotel rather than a B &B. There is an extensive selection of freshly prepared food at breakfast including some delicious homemade cakes. It... More

We stayed (as a couple) here for 4 nights after reading the reviews on trip advisor. Not a word of a lie on any of them. The house / residence is impeccable, the staff are extremely helpful, professional and friendly, breakfast is beautiful, there is ample secure parking, it is within a 5 to 10 (max) leisurely walk to the...

A wonderful little B&B with tastefully designed, beautiful and well-kept rooms. Lovely staff, so welcoming, friendly and helpful. Only a stroll away from lake and old centre but still quiet. Maddalena and team - you made our vacation absolutely great, thank you. More
