It was in a quiet area but close enough walk to the centre of town! Staff friendly and helpful! Only problem for me was tea and coffee weren’t replenished and i don’t lije paper cups but i assumed this was to do with covid or being eco friendly!!?

Nice hotel, near to the lake and we had a room from back side of the hotel whereas we were not bothered by the traffic! The staff were very kind, the breakfast was ok! Some improvements: one is not allowed to take the towels from the room to the swimming pool, you have to lease one which sounds and feels not really ok! Please change this! One more thing, the spa costs are also additionally charged, 20 euro per person per hour, this is not correct too! Conclusion: I will definitely go back to this hotel!

Good

It was ok.Staff could be more friendly

Off season not to busy, great indoor pool and wonderful full buffet breakfast

Hotel was a little out of town (20min brisk walk to harbour) but justified by the free parking. Hotel was clean, decent & staff were friendly/helpful but was let down by our room - on the first floor, opposite the top of the stairs it was a convenient if noisy location. The room itself was clean but poorly proportioned - only just big enough to get around the double bed, a tub chair was an unwelcome addition as it just got in the way and when an ironing board we needed was delivered space was at a premium! Our window looked out onto the rear car park at the same level meaning curtains needed to be drawn for any sort of privacy. We were only using it as a base for two nights otherwise we’d have requested a room change - I’m fairly sure we had the worst room the hotel has to offer or at least I hope it was! Breakfast was fine for an Italian breakfast, based on the other hotels we stayed at and pool/spa seemed good even though we didn’t make much use of them.

The floor we were on had recently been refurnished and was excellent. The outside look a little tired in some places. Breakfast choice was very good.

The property not to 4* standards, in need of renovation, bathroom is disgusting with black mould, lots of things broken, rooms is tiny, nowhere to put suitcases even, won’t be using properly again

Nice place to stay even for longer period. Good location

Great for one or two nights. Nice breakfast. Nice pool.

Very nice hotel very clean and friendly, gorgeous pool and gardens and staff are very polite and friendly, food also very good, but more than a 10min walk to the harbour that was stated on other reviews more like a good 20mins

Don’t let the outdated (yet well kept and clean) lobby area fool you. The rooms are brand new and modern. Beds very comfortable dressed with great quality linens. The breakfast is rich and fresh. The location is awesome too.

The first words out of the staff members mouth when we checked in was....”you booked a budget room so there isnt much choice of rooms” - i booked two double rooms...nothing budget about the price. parking was good. The Hotel was very walkable to Desendanzo and we enjoyed the town. The rooms were very outdated. Nothing like the pictures on Your site. Air conditioning/fans did not work in our room or our daughters room. Most guests had bath robes for the pools, neither rooms had them. Breakfast was ok. Staff not helpful and uninterested. Would not recommend to anyone. The Sunday morning was a major bike race right in front of the hotel. Staff never even mentioned to us that this was happening and we would have to leave a different way. Like I said....”uninterested” and very overpriced!

Nice hotel With excellent restaurant and pool, Professional staff. quiet and safe District. Situated 1 km from city centre

This hotel is lovely. Our room was amazing and the biggest in the hotel I was told. We stayed in the Juniour suite as it was our honeymoon and we could watch the sunset from our bed or the balcony. A huge balcony that overlooks the pool on one side and the lake on the other. The addition of the jetted bath in the room is an absolute bonus and a nice way to relax at the end of the day.The poolside bar offers a small menu but the food is good. The pool is quite cold but the heated indoor pool/sauna and jacuzzi more than makes up for it. We hired bikes for the day from the hotel 6 euros for 6 hours is such a good deal. We cycled to the peninsula and had a walk up to the Jamaica Beach which was very picturesque.The staff in the hotel were all lovely and very friendly. I couldn't recommend this hotel enough.

The hotel was clean and comfortable, though the decor could do with being updated. Having said that, the bathroom has recently been upgraded. The food (breakfast) was good and a good variety was provided. The pools are excellent, particularly the indoor spa with its mood lighting and music. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.

The Hotel Oliveto is just outside the main town of Descenzano, so be prepared for around a 10-15 minute walk each way.We arrived at around 2pm and our rooms werent ready, as check in is 3pm. This was fine so we went and got a drink at the bar and waited. Once our rooms were ready, we went up to realise that one of the rooms smelled very strongly of stale cigarette smoke. After we raised this with reception, we were moved to another room which smelled fine. The rooms are fine, basic and a little dated. We found sleep a problem on the first evening as it was windy and the metal shutters covering the patio doors rattled all night which was irritating. However, the wind died down and we didnt have such a problem for the remaining 2 nights. The shower in our room was a little broken - there was a hole in the pipe, meaning a lot of the water was pouring out of it, and not the shower head. We reported it and reception said someone would be up to fix it - it didnt get fixed before we checked out, but as we were only there 3 nights, it wasnt a huge problem. The pool area in the hotel is lovely. Drinks are reasonably priced and you cant beat the breakfast spread. If you are just wanting a solid base for exploring Lake Garda, this is a great option.

Wonderful hotel, perfectly situated with Lake View and easy access to both lake and town. Pool was just right. With decent sundbeds and area for food and drink. Lovely staff and great included breakfast.

It is a nice hotel and the staff make it a more pleasant experience than it otherwise would be To make improvements I would suggest the rooms need updating, more umbrellas for shade around the pool are required and the standards of room cleaning needs to improve.

No cleaning of carpet for 12 days stay. Sheets not changed. Bath sink and shower blocks up when used and the whole bathroom smells of wee.

Fantastic hotel. The suite was amazing with beautiful views

Good location just outside the town. Loved the indoor and outdoor pools with spa facilities. Room was clean and tidy and hotel staff were all helpful. Tasty buffet breakfast.

This is not what I would expect from a four star hotel. Our roller blind was defective. Shower door was hanging off its hinges. Our safe was locked. A house keeping problem.

Just got back from a weeks holiday at hotel Oliveto the staff were brilliant the location was excellent. The hotel is in the process of being upgraded, the room we had was quite small and old fashioned but clean and tidy so was fine as a base. Would definitely recommend and would love to go back.

The hotel is acually 1 km from the center. In the winter the distance is annoying. The rooms were decent for the price. The pool is very nice.

Nice hotel, looks a little dated but very friendly and comfortable to stay in. Good size rooms and decent breakfast in great location with parking and wifi.

Beautiful pool and sun loungers, parasols etc. Hotel is about a mile from the centre of Desenzano but we liked the lakeside walk to burn off some of the gelato! The decor of the hotel is very dated (1980s?) and the rooms are not massive, but the balcony with its amazing views of the lake and mountain made a big difference. Breakfast was slightly grim but have had far worse in other places. Didn't try dinner in the hotel as there were so many fabulous places in Desenzano which is a wonderful place for a holiday with so much to offer. Hotel Oliveto is fine - you get what you pay for here.
