Pros:
- The lake access via the hotels own private area/jetty is fantastic. There are only around 10 sun beds though, but we got a spot every time we went down.
- You can take drinks / pay for delivery of drinks and food over to the jetty.
- All the staff were super friendly and helpful.
- We didn’t have the breakfast, but it looked amazing and good value for the amount and quality of food you got.
- It’s around a 10 min walk (max.) from the ferry. You can get this direct from Desenzano and other local towns - it’s very affordable per person, and much better than taking the bus from the main part of Sirmione. It’s a long walk from the main town of Sirmione (we did this from the hotel down to the local supermarket and it was almost an hour).
- Very affordable bar and tourist tax compared to other parts of Italy.
- great value for what you got in this area.
Cons:
- We paid for the no balcony room and got a pretty tired, small room over looking the hotel car park. The shower was a little broken, and the soap dispenser fallen off the wall.
- The bed was very hard and pillows not great, so we didn’t sleep all that well.
