La Villa Desenzano

Patricia T2 years ago

Three of us visited for a week in June. The rooms are very traditional, spotless and comfortable. Roberta, the owner can't do enough to help you even giving my sister mosquito repellent and antihistamine cream when her own repellent didn't work. The breakfasts are simple continental style but there were always boiled eggs, cheese and meats plus croissant and cake. There was also two types of cereal which included a tasty granola. The air conditioning takes a little while to make a difference from first switching it on but once it gets going it works very well. The rooms have electric shutters which are great at keeping the sun out and if you leave them shut with the air-con on while you are out, the room is wonderfully cool when you get back.||The temperatures were reaching 35 degrees while we were there and it made walking around everywhere we visited quite uncomfortable so if you like to get around a lot come in early May although there are thunderstorms in the late afternoon/early evening in May but to be honest, we would have welcomed them. ||The villa is brilliantly situated for the centre of Desenzano just a short walk to the lake front for the ferries, shops, bars and restaurants. Roberta gave us a 10% off card for restaurant Agora and we went there three times as the food was good and the upstairs terrace has a good view.||There is no pool at the villa and just a small pebble beach which is quite a walk so if you like sunbathing this may not be ideal. All in all we had a very enjoyable holiday and would heartily recommend Villa Desenzano.
