Lovely little hotel in a great location close to the lake. Staff were very welcoming and friendly and went out of their way to offer suggestions for activities and places to see. Room cleaned every day and lovely lake view. Nice breakfast in a dining room with stunning views. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

Absolutely wonderful stay at Hotel Bonotto!
I stayed on the fourth floor in a room with stunning lake views. The room was very well appointed, with comfortable twin beds, a nice bathroom with shower and a balcony which was a real highlight, offering beautiful views over the town and lake. Breakfast was a continental spread, plentiful and delicious.
What sets this hotel apart is the wonderful staff. Throughout our stay, the staff went out of their way to help – arranging taxis & giving advice on buses to the airport, offering advice on towns to visit around the lake, giving us a plug adapter etc.
Overall, a 10/10 experience. Fantastic stay – I’ll definitely be recommending Hotel Bonotto to everyone visiting Lake Garda!

Good, not 5*, but really fine.
Other than being a bit noisy and the curtains not being blackout I think this turned out to be a great hotel.
There is only one staff member working reception and bar so don't expect anything special or fast there.
The room was really clean, air con wasn't too intrusive, balcony did slope but totally fine, bed was comfy.
We used the terrace multiple times including renting it one evening, it was lovely.

Fantastic hotel
Fantastic hotel, from the moment we arrived we were greeted by friendly helpful staff. The reception area was pristine. We had arrived late in the evening but check in was fast. There is a lift in the building to all the floors. Our room was spacious and very clean. The breakfast was fantastic with hot and cold food, breakfast was from 7 am to 10 am so no need to rush. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The location is great as it’s in the centre of town but was also very quiet. The bed was very comfortable.
The staff were always on hand if needed and was knowledgeable about restaurants and things to do in the town and the local area. We are already planning our next holiday and will stay in Hotel Bonotto, highly recommend.

Friendly staff. Parking is at a nearby garage, you pay the hotel and they give you a card that lets you drive in and out of the garage as often as you like.
Good breakfast (much better than most in Europe) on the rooftop. So nice morning view across the lake.
Desenzano de Garda was a pleasant surprise. A very nice town with lots of places to eat, drink, shop or just walk around.

I highly recommend in Desanzano
A wonderful intimate hotel in the center of Desanzano. The hotel is on the main street, but the room has peace and quiet. Rooms clean (cleaned daily) and very spacious. Although we were with 2 children, the size of the room was enough for us. The breakfasts are very tasty and varied. A wonderful lady made us very good coffee every morning. The hotel has an sun roof with sun loungers, from which there is a beautiful view of the lake and the surrounding area. The hotel staff is very helpful and helped us solve the problem with the broken car. We loved the stay! I would highly recommend!

This is a great place with really helpful and welcoming staff. The location is perfect as it’s central but far enough away from bars that it is peaceful at night. Breakfast terrace on 5th floor is fantastic with amazing views of the lake.
