Step out of the Hotel Piroscafo and you are immediately in the heart of Desenzano, with its lively cafés, inviting restaurants and elegant lakeside promenade all within a gentle stroll.

Overlooking the enchanting old harbour of Desenzano del Garda, the family-run Hotel Piroscafo offers a warm and genuine welcome in one of the most picturesque corners of Lake Garda. This characterful three-star hotel sits right on the waterfront, in the pedestrian heart of the town, where fishing boats rest against the quay and the lake stretches out beyond. Cherished by returning guests for its friendly atmosphere and attentive, personal service, it makes a charming and wonderfully convenient base for a relaxing lakeside holiday.

The bright, comfortable bedrooms provide a restful retreat after a day spent exploring the lake, each thoughtfully appointed with air conditioning, a private bathroom and the modern comforts you would hope to find. Many enjoy lovely views over the harbour and the town, and a number have their own balcony, the perfect spot to take in the gentle bustle of the square below. A lift serves the upper floors, ensuring easy access throughout.

Each morning, a generous buffet breakfast sets guests up for the day ahead, while the hotel's rooftop terrace offers a delightful place to pause, with views across the rooftops to the shimmering waters of the lake. With its peaceful position just away from the main street, yet only steps from the lakeside promenade, the Hotel Piroscafo combines the tranquillity of a quiet retreat with all the energy and charm of Desenzano on its doorstep.

The location could hardly be better for discovering Lake Garda. The ferry pier sits just moments away, ready to carry you to Sirmione, the western shore and the lake's many pretty villages, while the cafés, restaurants and shops of Desenzano are all within an easy and pleasant stroll. For those who wish to venture further, the historic city of Verona lies within comfortable reach, making the Hotel Piroscafo an ideal home from home for a holiday filled with memorable days out.
