Apartments in Salo

My wife and I have just enjoyed an amzing week at this lovely hotel. Set right by Lake Garda with gorgeous uninterrupted views from almost every room the location is perfect. A few minutes walk into the centre of Salo along a purpose built lakeside path and you are at the ferry station. The town has all the amenities you could hope for on a holiday with lots of shops, cafe’s and comfortable spots to sit and watch the world go by. My wife and I stayed at Hotel Salo Du Parc for a week to include breakfast and evening meal. Both provided an excellent array of food. Full English and loads of continental options for breakfast and a 4 course menu every night for evening dinner. I have to say I’ve stayed at many hotels with these options but the food here is top class. No repeats on the dinner, everything beautifully cooked and presented and delivered by a fantastic crew who work tirelessly to look after their guests. Our room (410) at the furthest corner was kept spotlessly clean with fresh towels daily.

Although this hotel isn't one of the most modern, our stay here was very good. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful. Our room was a very good size, as was the bathroom although at times it took a while to get hot water. Also, the shower floor isn't non-slip. Comfortable bed. A kettle and tea/coffee would be wonderful as it's nice to have a cup of tea before going to breakfast. The breakfast was the best I have had anywhere. Individual portions of fresh fruit in a glass covered with clingfilm (but please cut the pieces smaller!!); individual tiny jars of dried prunes, dates, nuts; ”detox water” was heavenly - water flavoured with fresh lime, lemon and ginger; usual selection of cured meats and cheeses, good selection of bread and rolls; lots of homemade cakes and mini desserts; omlettes or crepes available to order; ”seasonal vegetables” selection was a bit odd - slices of cucumber, tomatoes and strips of peppers, but nice. All in all, an excellent selection. The staff are always quick with a greeting and smile. Bar has a very good selection of drinks, but it would be nice to get some nibbles with a drink. We took to going to the bar a few yards away. The hotel is located very close to the main clock tower and main shopping promenade and this made for a pleasant walk every evening. Lots of places to eat and drink along the way. Do consider hiring a car if you visit off peak though. The public transport is a joke. . Buses run when they feel like it, and it hampered our trips a bit. We waited over an hour and a half for a bus back to Desenzano train station at the end of the stay. Gave up and the hotel called a cab for us.
