Hotel Acquaviva Del Garda is a 4-star property overlooking the south-western shore of Lake Garda, about 3 km from the centre of Desenzano del Garda. Surrounded by a well-kept garden, the hotel offers panoramic lake views and provides guests with an 800 m² spa featuring a heated indoor pool, sauna, Turkish bath, relaxation room and gym, accessible at no extra cost throughout the year.
The rooms, furnished with a modern design, almost all feature a balcony and vary in size and view: from the garden to the lake, up to the largest suite with a bathtub. All accommodations offer air conditioning, a minibar, TV and a private bathroom with courtesy set.
The restaurant, spread across three dining rooms with a lake-view terrace, serves international dishes and regional specialities, also catering to special diets. The location is convenient both for those arriving by car and those travelling by public transport, with Desenzano-Sirmione railway station less than 3 km away and several bars and restaurants just steps from the property.
The rooms at Hotel Acquaviva Del Garda cover a range of options from the simpler Economy room to the more spacious Suite, with sizes ranging from 20 to 42 m². All room types are guaranteed air conditioning, flat-screen TV, minibar and a private bathroom with bathrobes, slippers and courtesy set; the bed offered is always a large double. Almost all rooms include spa access in the rate, a benefit that accompanies practically every stay.
The main differences concern view and features: some rooms overlook the garden, others offer a full or partial lake view from their own balcony, while the Suite stands out for its larger space and bathtub instead of just a shower. The Economy Double Room, without a balcony, remains the most compact and essential option, suited to those looking for a functional stay without giving up the property’s basic comforts.

Hotel Acquaviva Del Garda places great emphasis on wellness: the spa features an indoor pool, sauna, Turkish bath, relaxation room, spa services and massages on request, as well as a gym for those who don’t want to give up their workout even on holiday. Outside, a sun terrace and a garden complete the property’s relaxation offering.
On the dining side, the hotel offers an in-house restaurant, a bar, a snack service and the option of breakfast in the room, as well as menus catering to special diets upon request. A minibar is present in all rooms for those who want something without going down to the bar.

Rivoltella beach is about 350 metres away, while the historic centre of Desenzano del Garda can be reached in a few minutes by car. Desenzano del Garda-Sirmione railway station, useful for connections to Milan and Verona, is 2.8 km away, while Verona-Villafranca Airport is about 24 km away.

In winter, the indoor wellness area becomes the go-to spot for those seeking relaxation, while in summer the proximity to the lake and local venues makes the area particularly lively in the evening as well.
