We have just returned from a week's stay in Desenzano on Lake Garda. It was our first visit to the Lakes and staying at the delightful Hotel Piccolo Vela was just the best first experience we could wish for. We had a lovely garden room which was spacious with a great en-suite bath and shower room and a lovely terrace... More

I recently spent 3 nights here with a friend. We wanted to visit Verona but decided to stay by the lake and travel in by train. The hotel is lovely, small and very tastefully decorated. It is 5 minutes walk from the lake and 20 mins from the railway station. The staff were friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was... More

We stayed here for 3 nights (May 4 -7th, 13) Hotel staff were exceptional, very helpful and pleasant. We ate in the Hotel restaurant one evening, the food was fantastic and reasonable priced. The breakfast was continental, with a range of cereals, fruit, cheeses and salami, again excellent. A great base to explore the wonderful sites of Lake Garda. I... More

The hotel is in a quiet location just 10 minutes walk to town. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was at the rear of the hotel not particularly good views. Our only criticism would be the food - not very much selection and strange combinations for our english palettes. Only veggie option each evening was egg... More

My wife and I have just spent a super week in the Piccola Vela while on a Great Rail Journeys holiday. Although part of a package group, we were made to feel like individuals. The rooms were spotlessly clean and confortable and the food very good ( although like all Italian hotels lacking in vegetables !). The location is perfect,... More

We found Piccola Vela to be a comfortable and friendly hotel. The staff were excellent - helpful, knowledgeable and they really cared. The food was mostly very good and plentiful - pasta dishes particularly good. The head waiter was both professional & entertaining. Our room was rather small but adequate, with a well appointed bathroom. The standard of cleanliness was... More

The Hotel Piccola Vela is a comfortable hotel about 5 minutes from the centre of Desenzano. The room we had was very clean, with a small fridge, TV and a decent sized bathroom with good toiletries. The pool has plenty of sunbeds, although some are in the shade for parts of the day. It is close to the main road... More
