Hotel Europa is located in the heart of Desenzano del Garda, right on the lakefront promenade that runs alongside the old harbour and the town’s historic centre. The area, among the most frequented in this part of Lake Garda, blends historic buildings, shops and venues facing the water, with Desenzano Castle visible on the hill nearby.
Desenzanino beach is about 100 metres away, while restaurants such as Santa – la Pizza Buona e Giusta and La Bissa are just steps from the entrance. Desenzano Castle can be reached in about 600 metres, and Desenzano del Garda-Sirmione railway station, with fast connections to Milan and Verona, is about 1.4 km away.
