Hotel Oliveto

"Located 20 minute walk from Desenzano port for ferry to other areas of Garda and lots of nice restaurants and shops. Around 40 minute walk to train station. Very clean spacious room with balcony offering views of the lake between trees and residential buildings on opposite side of road. Tea/coffee making facilities but paper cups. Not topped up during stay - but we had brought our own. Towels changed daily. Decent hairdryer in bathroom. Bed linen changed 2nd day or our 3-day stay. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good choice of hot food and continental breakfast. Paid to have dinner at hotel one evening. Pricey but absolutely delicious. Building works evident but absolutely no noise. Indoor pool and spa area very relaxing, though small."

"Stayed in 2022 with my partner in one of their top tier rooms. Room was excellent, luxurious and food was nice too. Staff well mannered and spoken."

"Stayed here for 4 nights in room 250 - room was spacious with a balcony and had a safe and mini fridge. There was a kettle with tea bags in the room which is a plus in Europe. There is a TV but I couldn't find any English channels. The shower was compact but fine if you are not too large. hand wash, shower gel, shampoo and body lotion was all provided. Towels were replenished frequently and the bedding was changed after 2 nights. We ate in the restaurant one evening and paid 45 euros for 2 people for 2 courses and soft drinks. The waiters were all very polite and pleasant. Breakfast was a large buffet with plenty of choice even for fussy eaters - there were plenty of pastries and cakes, 2 types of juice, tea/coffee/chocolate all available in a machine, hot selection of egg, bacon, sausage, hash browns, beans...breads and croissants and jams with ham/cheese salad etc and fresh fruit and fruit salad and yogurt...too much to remember it all!! All of the waiters were very friendly and cleared the tables quickly. Check in and check out was very efficient and the staff were friendly. We did not use the Spa - not sure if it was open with all the building work going on there. Pool area was clean with plenty of new sunbeds and umbrellas available. A couple of things do need addressing- housekeeping was very hit and miss...some days all they seemed to do was make the bed - i found a plastic bag under the chair from a previous stay which had not been removed. room was a bit dusty in places and more coat hangers would have been useful. The walk into the centre of town is around 15-20 minutes but is a tree-lined street which is perfectly safe and well lit at night. We heard no noise from the building work but we were out all day...and can only give positive comments about the staff working here - I would happily go back again in the future"
