The property offers air-conditioned apartments designed for self-catering stays, ideal for families and groups looking for space and comfort on Lake Garda. The units have one or two separate bedrooms, a living area with a sofa bed, a fully equipped kitchen with hob, fridge, oven and utensils, and a private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer. Many apartments overlook a quiet inner courtyard, and some offer a terrace or private balcony where guests can have breakfast outdoors.
WiFi is free throughout the property, as is the on-site private parking, a valuable perk in central Desenzano during the summer months. Pets are allowed for a small surcharge. The area around Villa Martina is full of restaurants and bars within walking distance, while the lakefront promenade, the Sirmione thermal baths and the cycling routes towards the lower Garda area are just a few minutes away by car or bicycle.
Villa Martina offers four types of apartments, all air-conditioned and tailored for extended stays on Lake Garda: from the most compact 50 sqm unit up to the largest 75 sqm apartment with two separate bedrooms. Each option includes a private bathroom with shower and bidet, a fully equipped kitchen with hob, fridge and oven, a living area with a sofa bed and flat-screen TV with cable channels, soundproofed walls and a view of the property’s inner courtyard.
What sets the types apart are mainly the outdoor spaces and the number of bedrooms: some apartments feature a private terrace, others a balcony or a patio, while capacity ranges from 4 to 6 guests depending on the number of bedrooms available, making the choice flexible for both couples and larger families.

Villa Martina is located in the hamlet of Rivoltella, on the southern shore of Lake Garda, in a residential area just a few steps from the Desenzano del Garda lakefront. Desenzano is one of the liveliest towns on the lake, with a pedestrian lakeside promenade, boutiques and evening venues, but Rivoltella retains a more residential, family-friendly atmosphere, ideal for those seeking a quiet base without giving up proximity to the centre.
Rivoltella beach is about 250 metres away, while the restaurants Rossi & Rossi, Lapecoranera and Centrale are all around 50 metres from the property. Desenzano del Garda-Sirmione railway station is 2.4 km away, convenient for those arriving without a car, and Verona-Villafranca Airport is about 24 km away, also reachable via the property’s paid airport shuttle.
