I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Piroscafo. Julia and the girls on the desk were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately didn’t catch the other girls names. ||This was my first solo holiday so was apprehensive but as soon as I arrived at the hotel and saw the location and my room I felt totally fine. ||Room is small but has everything you need. Pictures of room on the TUI website doesn’t do it justice, I think the room must have been updated since that photo were taken. I had a lovey little balcony too. The room was lovely and clean. ||The hotel is situated on a lovey harbour, so beautiful. Lots of places to eat and drink within steps of the hotel. ||The train station is about a 15 min walk. I found it a nice walk and caught a train to Verona and Venice. Again as a solo traveller I felt very safe. ||A massive thank you to Flávio on the desk on an evening, who was always very happy, friendly and helpful. ||Also a lovely continental breakfast on a morning again staff were lovely.||Hopefully I’ll w back again soon!|||

We had a very warm & very friendly welcome from Xhulia & also met Lucia on reception later who was also really friendly and very helpful. ||The hotel is in a fantastic location overlooking a small inlet harbour. It has restaurants around the harbour & shops & more restaurants in the town just a short walk from the hotel. It is only a short walk to the lakeside too, with lovely walks along the lakeside & a short pier aswell. Beautiful area! There's a market on a Friday selling all sorts of things - so many stalls & interesting to look around. Its a 10 min walk (all uphill though), from the train station where we caught a train to Venice & Verona on separate days. Plus, there is a main ferry hub in Desenzano. Lovely stay at hotel Piroscafo in Desenzano! Thank you to all the staff there who made our stay so enjoyable!||Ps. We had a room overlooking the harbour with a balcony which made our stay even nicer!
