Located quite next the bigger concurrent Hotel Nazionale, this cosy villa has nothing to envy to that hotel if you prefer a small luxury and quiet relais. Staff very gentle and helpful. Car parking comfortable and free. The limited number of rooms is a guarantee of privacy and relax. We stayed only 1 night and though we booked a standard... More

This year we stayed for the 3rd time at the Giardino Segreto. It offers just a few rooms and by this benefits from its private atmosphere. Rooms are very clean and excellent maintained. We usually prefer the "Il grande blu" which lies away from the street and has a private terrace. Owners are always friendly and never hesitate to respond... More

Maddalena and her Mother are both very friendly and extremely helpful. The accommodation is centrally located and the rooms are stylish and very clean. I felt it to be more like a small boutique hotel than a B&B. The breakfast was always a surprise and a real treat! We stayed for 3 nights and would highly recommend it.

We almost always stay in B&Bs when we travel and this B&B certainly belongs to one of the best we've ever had! We were warmly welcomed after a long drive and with the heat in Italy end of August, we were more than happy to find aircondition in our room. The room was spotlessly clean and very nicely decorated (as... More

just as the reviews promised: this is an adorable little B&B, the rooms are charming and freshly renovated, impeccably clean. Maddalena and her mother are lovely and gave us a warm welcome. Everything is prepared with love, even the pies and quiches for breakfast are homemade with organic ingredients from local farmers. We will definately book it if we travel... More

We stayed here as I read so many great reviews on trip advisor and I have to say it lived up to the hype. Even though we chose the cheapest room ( white room) it was absolutely stunning with all mid cons you could hope for. The breakfast( especially the home made quiche) was the best one we had all...

Stayed here for 2 nights with family. The B&B is walking distance to the center of Desenzano which was very convenient. Maddalena was very nice and accommodating. The breakfast was good--a selection of both sweet and savoury items but the highlight of breakfast was the AMAZING cappuccino we had every morning! The room we stayed at was the Blue room--it...

Dear guests, we are amazed for what you have written about the "ants" in your room. One the beauty of our Relais is the garden which sorrounds all the rooms. Obviously the same beauty can become a problem if our guests use to eat in the rooms. It is enough one only little crumb fallen down after the usual cleaning... More

We had a great stay. The room (il grande blu) is just like on the photos. The bathroom was great with a rainshower. The breakfast was good, especially the cappuccino in the morning. We travelled to different cities and stayed in different places and I must say that I have not had a better coffee in the morning! The host... More

We have just come back from two nights at this wonderful B&B. It is well located, just a short stroll to the lake and town centre.The decor is very original, but very tasteful and the place is spotless. The breakfast spread was very nice and all the food was very fresh. We were 2 couples who visited Lake Garda for... More
