Hotel Aurora is a three-star property overlooking the lakefront of Desenzano del Garda, just 200 metres from the pedestrian area of the historic centre.
The location is one of its main strengths: the beach lies right in front of the hotel, and several rooms enjoy a direct view of the lake and the Sirmione peninsula. The common areas include a lounge with TV, an internet corner and a breakfast room with lake views, where a buffet including continental, Italian and gluten-free options is served every morning.
The rooms, all air-conditioned and soundproofed, range from the more compact Single to the Double with Balcony, passing through options designed for families with extra beds. Every room has a private bathroom with hairdryer, flat-screen TV and minibar. The property suits those looking for a convenient base to explore Lake Garda, close to restaurants, shops and Desenzano Castle, without giving up the charm of a stay on the lakefront.
The five room types at Hotel Aurora share essential amenities such as air conditioning, soundproofing, a private bathroom with courtesy set and hairdryer, flat-screen TV and minibar, ensuring a good level of comfort in every category. The main differences concern the size, ranging from the 10 sqm of the Single Room and the Small Double Room to the 20 sqm of the Classic Room with Lake View, and the view, which opens onto the inner courtyard in the lower categories while reaching the lake in the higher ones.
Those looking for more space and a view will find the Classic Room with Lake View and the Double Room with Balcony the most suitable options, with the latter being the only one with a private lake view via balcony. Families can rely on flexible configurations with extra single beds, while solo travellers can choose the Single Room, designed for one person.
The Single Room, at 10 sqm, is the most compact option in the hotel, designed for solo travellers. It overlooks the inner courtyard and offers a private bathroom with shower, courtesy set, bidet and hairdryer, as well as a flat-screen TV and minibar in a soundproofed room.
The Economy Double Room offers 18 sqm with a view of the inner courtyard and the option to choose between a double bed or two single beds, making it suitable for both couples and those who prefer separate beds. A private bathroom with shower and bidet, courtesy set, minibar and wardrobe complete the amenities.
At 20 sqm, the Classic Room with Lake View is the largest among the available room types and, together with the Double Room with Balcony, the only one overlooking the lake. Also suitable for small groups thanks to occupancy of up to three people, it features a private bathroom with shower, minibar and wardrobe.
The only room in the hotel with a private balcony, the Double Room with Balcony offers a direct lake view from outside the room. Its 18 sqm come with soundproofed walls and a private bathroom with shower, for a more intimate stay compared to the other categories with a panoramic view.
The Small Double Room shares the hotel’s smallest size, 10 sqm, with the Single Room, but stands out for its double bed designed for two people. A view of the inner courtyard, a private bathroom with shower and bidet, flat-screen TV and minibar complete the offer.
Hotel Aurora offers guests a 24-hour front desk, shuttle service and airport shuttle, as well as daily housekeeping and allergy-free rooms for guests with allergies. Those travelling by bike can take advantage of bicycle rental, while for relaxation there is a sun terrace, an area with deck chairs and sun loungers, and a common room with a TV area.
On the dining front, the property offers an on-site café, a bar and a snack bar, with the option of requesting breakfast delivered to the room and special diet menus on request. There is also a selection of wines and champagne to accompany meals.
Practical services include luggage storage, a safe, express check-in and check-out, and a tour desk for organising visits around the Lake Garda area. The entire property is non-smoking, with air conditioning and an elevator to reach the upper floors.
Hotel Aurora is located on Lungolago Cesare Battisti, in the heart of the most popular area of Desenzano del Garda, right in front of Desenzanino Beach, about 200 metres from the property. The pedestrian historic centre, with its streets, restaurants and shops, is just 200 metres away, making the hotel a convenient starting point for exploring on foot without needing a car. In the immediate surroundings there are also several restaurants and venues, such as Izuumi Desenzano and La Bissa, both less than 100 metres away.
Those arriving by car or train will find Desenzano del Garda-Sirmione Station 1.4 km away, while Verona-Villafranca Airport is about 27 km away, useful for those planning a stay on Lake Garda coming from outside the region. Lake Garda directly borders the property, and the proximity to the centre makes it easy to walk to the main city attractions, including Desenzano Castle at 550 metres.
The area offers activities throughout the year: in summer, nearby beaches such as Desenzanino Beach and Lido di Lonato are ideal for swimming and relaxation, while historic sites such as the Grottoes of Catullus, about 6 km away, or Sirmione’s Scaliger Castle, just over 5 km away, can be visited year-round. For lovers of walking, the Giardini Marinai d’Italia offer a green space 800 metres from the hotel, perfect for a break between visits.
