— Olwen stayed in Hotel Mayer et Splendid, Desenzano in June 2018
Set right on the shores of Lake Garda, facing directly out on to a pretty marina, Hotel Mayer et Splendid is a welcoming hotel within easy walking distance of Desenzano town centre.
The interior of this beautiful hotel is traditional in style and attention to detail can be seen in the little touches throughout, giving it great character. All rooms and suites are comfortably furnished and guests can enjoy a real home from home experience. The hotel’s fantastic restaurant specialises in regional and classic Italian cuisine and is open every day for both lunch and dinner.
The hotel is home to a great wellness area too, perfect for guests to enjoy a spot of indulgence on their wonderful sun holiday. The spa area comes complete with a sauna, turkish bath, whirlpool and gym and offers the perfect solution for those days when you really want to unwind.
In an absolutely wonderful location, right on the lakeshore, overlooking the area's beautiful marina and in the heart of the historic centre of Desenzano, this hotel is within easy reach to many sites and attractions. These include Villa Romana, the Cathedral of St. Mary Magdalene, the House of the Podesta and the Museum of Birds. Boats to other lakeside towns regularly depart from the pier, right opposite the hotel, while buses for Peschiera and Sirmione stop and depart from just 200m away, so you’ll never be short of great places to discover.

Lynsey Mackay
My name is Lynsey and I have huge passion for both winter and summer sports, having worked for Topflight for over 10 years in Austria, France, Andorra and Italy. As an avid skier and snowboarder, you'll find me making the most of slopes during the winter months in Andorra and in the summer I swap my skis for sandals to enjoy all that Lake Garda has to offer. I couldn’t possibly choose which season I prefer, I’ve skied since I was 5 years old and I can never get enough but there’s also something really magical about the spending the summer on Lake Garda.
