The hotel can also host conferences - its meeting room has capacity for 100 people and there is also a business support centre. Free parking is available too.

When it comes to places to see, there is a castle in Desenzano where you can enjoy excellent views, or see the mosaics in the Roman villa on Via Crocifisso. To the east, the resort of Sirmione has Lake Garda's only mineral spring and it also has a stunning 13th-century castle. Up the eastern coast, there's Bardolino, home of the famous red wine of the same name, while on the western shore, visit the botanical gardens and the former home of poet Gabriele D'Annunzio at Gardone Riviera. If you enjoy water sports, head to Torbole, a lively resort where you can practise windsurfing, sailing and much more. There's also plenty to occupy you on dry land too - including mountain-biking, climbing and hiking.
