We stayed for one week in the Villa Maria hotel in Desenzano; two females, sharing a twin room. This is an older hotel, typical Italian style, in the suburbs, clean and the staff were excellent. Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to be helpful even to the point of replacing a mattress on one of the twin beds at the request of my friend. Every person we encountered was professional and helpful. The breakfast was good,not a huge selection but everything that we wanted was available.  There is a supermarket close by. There is a 20 minute walk to the port where there is a good selection of eateries. This was probably the only down side, the walk to and from the centre of everything. The pool at the hotel was lovely, with a life guard present. On one of the days we noticed towels on the sun beds, no one appeared to use them but guests turned up late on the day to retrieve them. This is my pet hate, but not the hotel's fault. There were enough beds available for anyone wanting to use them. We had a lovely stay and I would recommend this hotel. 

Nice hotel with excellent staff

A good base for getting around.
would recommend the rooms with balcony.

Very Italian in restaurant
Staff excellent.
Reasonable variation on menu
Local transport is cheap 1 Euro but timing is Italian.

The Railway and the Boats are a good way of getting around



good base

the staff in the hotel were lovely the food was lovely the weather was lovely and the hotel was very clean the public transport was great the buses came on time  desenzano was very clean the reasturants the food was second to non we would go back tomorrow

heaven on earth

We booked this weekend for our two friends to celebrate their 50th birthday. As soon as the staff became aware they were amazing, prepared a beautiful cake and made it a very special evening. The food was amazing for the 3 nights we stayed, varied choice and well presented. Rooms were spacious and very clean. I cannot fault  Hotel Villa Maria and the lovely staff.. Thank you! 

Great weekend! 

Hi we stayed at the hotel for 7 nights in September 2019.
I am gluten and dairy intolerant, I cannot praise the staff enough. The head waiter and waitress made sure that I knew exactly what I could and could not eat. Thanks to the chef for adapting the menu. 
I can not thank them enough, it takes the worry away from meal times. 
Thanks again BRILLIANT.

Super hotel (gluten and dairy intolerance)

What a fantastic hotel. Rooms were brilliant spacious, clean, well maintained & well equipped. The staff were all amazing from Valentina at the reception desk who was ever so helpful & kind to the team at the restaurant for breakfast & meal time, the bar staff were great too. The pool are again very clean & tidy. Lake Garda only a stones throw away via a short walk. This area was lovely peaceful & quiet with lots of choice of restaurants & eateries within walking distance. The train station is only a 30 minute walk away & bus stop was about 5 minute walk away. Public transport was good & on time also fairly priced too. We had a fantastic time & would not hesitate in returning here in the future. The only negative i have is that the mattresses could be more comfortable.

Fantastic Hotel

The Hotel Villa Maria is a splendid hotel on the outskirts of Desenzano on the beautiful  Lake Garda.The well kept gardens,pool area,tennis courts and outdoor bar are a delight both by day or night in the warm Italian atmosphere.I can recommend the option of half board from a excellent restaunte with typical Italian staff with plenty of panache.The hotel is situated quite a walk from other eating options and into town,but the hotel offer a wonderful menu with choice of 4 courses.There is a local bus service nr by  for 1 euro per trip and the hotel offers rent a bike by the day/ hour for a reasonable cost and an excellent way to see the area.The hotel has an feel of past grandeur of those famous films with Italian actors and well worth the 4 stars.In the grounds a mini hamlet of houses for the travelling Europeans keeps the hotel popular.

Splendid hotel on the Banks of Lake Garda

We stayed here in Mid September. The room we had had a balcony and lake view which we paid extra for. The room was pleasant but lacked something. Everything you needed was here, comfy beds,good bathroom but perhaps because the walls were plain and no no painting on it felt unatmospheric. The air con wasn't really up to much, it on the folloe and right in the corner but the window and rattled a lot. We only had breakfast not an evening meal. The scramled eggs were hit and miss sometimes cokoed well sometimes congealed together. The bacon needed longer being cooked. For a hotel like this i would off expected tea and coffeee served at the table but you have to use a self service machine, not great . The restoff the breakfast was ok but the same every day. We looked at the evening meal which didn't really look to much. So we ate in town. Desenzano itself is a hour walk away, quite a pleasant walk by the lake . There are restaurants only 10 minutes walk away in the other direction. These were good epsecially Rossi Rossi. The local bus into town cost 1 euro, they normally turn up but on time. When we were there the last bus back was at 8.00pm. We tried to get a taxti a couple of time s and always failed but the walk back was fine. The train station is on the bus route nd you can get to Verona and Venice from here, would hioghly reccomend both. The staff were all very pleasant and the pool was lovely. One thing we found that was missing was the lack of infomation about the area, no folder in the rooms or nothing in the hotel foyer. The hotel is a bit out of Desenzano but really it's not a problem.

Not a Bad Hotel

This is an Italian hotel do not expect anything other than what is offered by good Italian hotels. Food was excellent with scrambled eggs and Sausages as a hot option and a good selection on the cold table at breakfast. Evening meals were of 4 courses and excellent food was served ( Italian Cuisine ) by very attentive staff. We were mostly looked after by Danielle and Anna who enjoyed a bit of banter and were very friendly as were the rest of the dining room staff. Choice of food for the evening meal was made at breakfast time and there was a choice of 4 items for the main courses and salad as an apitiser and a choice of 4 sweets. The staff on reception were good and friendly and tried their best to help. We had a standard room which was large and spacious, everything was very clean and everything worked in the shower room. Some would say the room was a bit dated which it was by modern hotel standards, this hotel is not modern so rooms are in keeping. There was reasonable free WiFi available in the rooms and towels and bedding were changed as required. The hotel is in a quiet residential are close to a bus stop and a small supermarket. Busses are a little hit and miss and the location is about 1 1/2 miles from town and the railway station. We did not use the pool.

The only gripes I had against the hotel is the fact that draught beer could not be obtained from the bar in reception and that Saturdays meal was a bit random, the hotel changed from its normal choose at breakfast to a set Saturday evening menu, the food was good but a lot was sent back uneaten. I am at a loss to understand why they changed from a system that works the rest of the week.

This place is a quality Italian hotel located in a quiet area with Italian food if that is what you like you will not go wrong, it is not the type of hotel that you would find on the Spanish Costa's.

Excellent service

Third time in 6 years we came here and it is always a joy to come back at this resort. Just like previous times, we opted for the bungalow instead of a hotel room. Nice little houses with airco, two seperate bedrooms… we also chose for breakfast at the hotel… 

Plus points:
*the staff is kind and helpful
*the swimming pool is crystal clear and very refreshing where children can play… 
*the garden is very clean and well taken care of
*cleaning staff does a good job (maybe too good as they took per mistake my daughter’s pyama trunks for cleaning but never got it back but no harm in that)

Minus points:
*not everything in the kitchen works. Microwave oven did not work properly, only one gas stove worked and the flame was very very small. Had to wait forever to make our own pasta…
*6 and 5 years ago, the breakfast was served in a big space in the main building bit now it was served in a much smaller place and it was too crowded sometimes. Although everything was tasty, there was not much variation. Coffeemachine can be replaced too if you ask me…

But the “bad” points do not weigh up against all the plus points. 

Will probably return again in the future.

It was a nice stay
