Near the lake lodgings
You’ll find the Palace Hotel Desenzano just a couple of minutes’ walk from Lake Garda. When you’re not exploring the shores of the stunning lake, head up to the hotel’s rooftop terrace. Here you’ll find a panoramic pool, which has unbeatable views over Lake Garda and the surrounding mountains – it’s especially beautiful at sunset, and is heated during the winter months.
Elsewhere, you’ll find a curvy outdoor pool set into a spacious sun terrace with loungers and parasols. There are also plenty of sunbeds dotted across the hotel’s well-manicured lawns. For added relaxation, head to the wellness centre, where you’ll find treatment cabins, a steam room, and a sauna.
If you’d like to explore further afield, take a 10-minute taxi or bus ride to Sirmione. This pretty town is set on a promontory overlooking the lake, and is home to a Medieval castle and some time-stamped thermal baths. You can also hop on a ferry and discover more of Lake Garda’s lakefront towns – there’s a port within a five-minute wander.
The hotel’s restaurant will keep you fuelled for days out exploring Lake Garda. Start the day at the breakfast buffet with fresh fruit, bread, pastries, cold meats, and cheeses. They don’t serve dinner here, but you can be in the centre of Desenzano after just a 15-minute walk, where there are plenty of restaurants, bars and trattorias to choose from. When you’re back at the hotel, pop to the bar for a drink or two and plan your next day on the Italian Lakes.
