Hotel in Desenzano del GardaGarda Hotel San Vigilio Golf
A hotel in Desenzano del Garda surrounded by greenery
A few minutes from the lakefront, Garda Hotel San Vigilio Golf offers a different way of staying near Desenzano del Garda: 110 hectares of parkland, quiet surroundings, reserved parking and a property that brings together hotel, spa, restaurant and golf course in one place. A hotel in Desenzano del Garda for guests who want to be close to everything without giving up the peace and quiet.
Close to Desenzano del Garda, away from the traffic
Anyone looking for a hotel in Desenzano del Garda faces two options: the town centre, lively and well served but often crowded in the summer months, or the moraine hills that surround it. Garda Hotel San Vigilio Golf stands in Pozzolengo, in the province of Brescia, a short drive from the harbour and the lakefront promenade.
The difference is obvious the moment you drive through the gate. The resort grew up around a 12th century Benedictine Abbey, the historic heart of a park stretching across 110 hectares of fairways, natural ponds and mature planting. No through road outside the windows, no hunt for a parking space, no queue to reach the pool.
The centre of Desenzano del Garda remains within easy reach for dinner by the old harbour, for shopping along Via Roma or for catching the ferry to the other lakeside towns. Desenzano del Garda-Sirmione railway station, served by Frecciarossa and Intercity trains on the Milan to Venice line, is around fifteen minutes away by car.
It is the reason why many guests, having tried a hotel in Desenzano del Garda in a central position, choose to move a few kilometres out on their next visit.
Rooms and suites for every kind of stay
Accommodation ranges from the understated Comfort rooms to Suites of around 50 square metres with a separate sitting area, a wooden mezzanine and two bathrooms. In between sit the Superior rooms overlooking the Abbey's inner garden, the Superior rooms with private patio in the quieter annexe, the Deluxe rooms with terrace and views over the greens, and the Prestige Duplex split across two levels.
Each option suits a different length of stay: an overnight stop before heading on to Verona or Milan, a weekend for two, a week with the family. For longer visits the resort also offers apartments from studios to four-room units, with fully equipped kitchens and their own entrance onto the park.
Every stay includes access to the spa, a twenty per cent discount on green fees and use of the garage. A package that a centrally located hotel in Desenzano del Garda rarely includes in the room rate.
Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, and reception can arrange tennis courts, spa treatments, restaurant tables and tee times without guests having to make separate bookings elsewhere.
Desenzano del Garda and the lake within easy reach
From here you can reach the historic centre of Desenzano del Garda with its Roman Villa and castle in a few minutes, along with the Sirmione peninsula and the Grottoes of Catullus, and the villages of Castellaro Lagusello and Borghetto sul Mincio. Within half an hour lie Gardaland, Parco Sigurta and the Lugana wine cellars, while Verona and Brescia are both about thirty-five minutes away by car. Staying at a hotel near Desenzano del Garda means having the lake, the art cities and the wine hills all in the same day.
