“Hotel Piroscafo benefits greatly from its location overlooking Desenzano del Garda's old port. I think the family-run atmosphere cultivates an especially welcoming environment, and I appreciate the small touches, like umbrellas for guests. A gluten-free selection at breakfast underscores their commitment to personalized service.”
