Antica Dimora Desenzano is an inn in the heart of the historic centre of Desenzano del Garda, in the province of Brescia, about 300 metres from the medieval castle and 700 metres from Desenzanino Beach on Lake Garda.
The property offers exclusively suites, ranging from the 38 m² Suite with City View to the 75 m² Suite with Terrace, designed for stays as a couple or family thanks to independent entrances, separate living areas and private bathrooms with tub or shower. All rooms are air-conditioned, soundproofed and equipped with a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a minibar and a lounge area: a rare level of comfort for an inn of this size.
The in-house bar, room service, tour desk and luggage storage complete the offer, while the reception, staffed 24 hours a day, welcomes guests in Italian, English and Spanish. Continental-style buffet breakfast is served every morning. Desenzano is easily explored on foot: the lakefront promenade, the train station and the restaurants of the centre are all just minutes from the door.
Antica Dimora Desenzano offers five types of suites, all with independent entrance, a living area separate from the sleeping area, and a private bathroom with tub or shower. The sizes increase progressively, from the 38 m² of the Suite with City View to the 75 m² of the Suite with Terrace, the latter being the only one with two separate bedrooms and a private outdoor space.
Every suite features air conditioning, soundproofed walls, a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a minibar and a lounge area, for comfortable stays both as a couple and as a family. The Suite with Balcony is the only one overlooking an outdoor space besides the Terrace, while the Superior and Executive share the bathtub but differ in size, with the latter being larger. The rooms are reached by stairs, as there is no lift in the historic building.
The most compact of the suites, 38 m², with independent entrance, separate living area and a view over Desenzano’s old town. The private bathroom, air conditioning and soundproofed walls ensure a quiet stay right in the historic centre.
Larger than the City View suite at 50 m², it is the only suite in this range with a private balcony, in addition to the city view. A separate living area, minibar and air conditioning complete an accommodation designed for longer stays.

Antica Dimora Desenzano is located in the heart of the historic centre of Desenzano del Garda, on Vicolo Androna, a pedestrian street just steps from the harbour square and the lakefront promenade. The area features the characteristic alleys of the old town, lively with bars, cafés and restaurants open until late in the evening, such as Caffè Città Desenzano and the Gattolardo restaurant, both just a few metres from the inn. It is a convenient starting point for exploring the main attractions on foot, without needing a car.
Desenzano Castle, a medieval fortress overlooking the historic centre, is just 150 metres from the property, while Desenzanino Beach on Lake Garda can be reached in under ten minutes on foot, about 700 metres away. Desenzano del Garda-Sirmione station, on the Milan-Venice line, is 850 metres away and is convenient for those arriving by train from Milan, Verona or Venice. By car, Verona-Villafranca Airport is about 26 km away, while Sirmione, with its historic centre and Rocca Scaligera fortress, is about 6 km away along the lakeshore.
Guests can enjoy cycling along the bike paths that run along Lake Garda, or visit the Grottoes of Catullus and the Terme Virgilio thermal baths in Sirmione, the latter about 6.6 km from the inn. A little further away, the Tower of San Martino della Battaglia, about 7 km away, tells the story of the area’s role in the Italian unification wars. In summer the lake is perfect for swimming, sailing and water sports; in the low season, the historic centre of Desenzano, with its scenic lakefront walks and restaurants overlooking the harbour, remains an excellent base for leisurely exploring the entire Garda shore.
