Hotel La Passeggiata is a family-run 3-star property set on a hill on the outskirts of Desenzano del Garda, about 2.5 km from the old town and 3 km from the shores of Lake Garda.
The family management is reflected in the informal atmosphere of the common areas: a reading room with satellite TV and free WiFi, a wine bar for tasting local labels, and a large garden with outdoor furniture, ideal for relaxing away from the traffic of the town centre. The hotel also has an outdoor restaurant serving traditional Italian cuisine and free parking, convenient for those arriving by car, given that the area is not served by public transport.

In summer, the Desenzanino beach and the Lido di Lonato, both less than 3 km away, offer access points to the lake for swimming and walks along the shore, while in the low season the surrounding hills are suited to bike rides among vineyards and olive groves.
