Piccola Vela Hotel, Outdoor Whirlpool

Hotel Piccola Vela has been a favourite with Inghams' guests for many years and offers a wonderful service and a fantastic location just a short stroll away from the centre of Desezano. Originally a private villa, it’s now lovingly run by the same family who converted it into this popular hotel.

You’ll be greeted with a warm welcome here as you step into the modern lobby and spacious bar area. The light dining room is a great place to start your day with a varied breakfast and fresh coffee served to your table and during the summer months, you can dine on the terrace next to the pool. The charming swimming pool is set in the hotel’s mature garden where many of the original olive trees have been retained and also boasts a heated whirlpool. At the end of the day, the comfortable guest rooms are a welcome retreat. They’ve been finished in a modern style with homely furnishings and plenty of space to stretch out.

Transfer time: approx. 45 mins by coach.

Desenzano

A holiday in Desenzano combines a picturesque lakeside resort setting with the vibrant atmosphere of a thriving Italian community. Social life is focused on the many bars, cafés, pizzerias and restaurants in the historic centre and on the pedestrianised shopping area. Narrow streets lead up to the medieval castle that overlooks the town and offers panoramic views of the lake. Desenzano has two harbours and two public beaches.

The resort has the best ferry and hydrofoil services on the lake so the main lakeside towns, including Garda, Peschiera and Sirmione, are very accessible. Bus and train connections are excellent and Verona, Venice and Padua are within easy reach.
