Hotel Lido International

We absolutely loved our stay at Lido Hotel International in Desenzano del Garda! My first impression was that it was smaller and older than I had expected, but that quickly disappeared the moment we experienced the warmth of the staff, the stunning lakefront location, and the charm of the hotel. A special mention to Manuel and the two girls in the bar, who made every visit a delight. The outdoor bar, set right on the lakeside, was the perfect place to enjoy a drink with complimentary snacks often provided. The location is unbeatable – right on Lake Garda, with a pool beside the water and breathtaking views. Our room was a generous size with large sliding doors and a spacious balcony, not tiny like many other hotels. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully scented, and featured modern décor. The bed and pillows were quite firm, and the daily cleaning was done promptly to an exceptional standard. The buffet breakfast was the best I’ve had anywhere – a delicious spread of fresh fruit, cereals, pastries, and perfectly cooked scrambled eggs.  It’s just a short five-minute walk along the lakeside promenade to the charming shops and cafés of Desenzano, and there is convenient paid parking for guests right on site. I looked at all the other hotels I had considered and felt absolutely thrilled with my decision to book Lido for its unbeatable location, amazing staff, and everything it offered. Everything about our stay was outstanding – five stars without hesitation!
