Desenzano Holidays
from £ 380 pp
View All DealsChoose a holiday to Desenzano to explore one of the largest and most stylish cosmopolitan towns on Lake Garda, with plenty of culture and great transport links.
Something for everyone
Desenzano is famous for its museum, Roman villa and the fashionable boutiques crammed into its narrow streets, as well as the gelaterias, cafés and bars dotted throughout. And each week it hosts a large market that spreads along the lakefront. From the harbour, follow the esplanade along the shore and you’ll reach shingle beaches either side of the town.
More to see
Desenzano is one of the few resorts on the lake that has a train station, which gives easy access to Milan, Verona and Venice, and makes the resort equally popular with Italians who live in the city and want to spend a few days relaxing beside the lake. If you'd rather travel by water, the ferry service is a scenic way to explore the resorts on the eastern side of the lake, like Bardolino and Garda.
