About this property
Desenzanoloft Palazzo Visconti - Gran Lugana
GRAN LUGANA CIN: IT017067C2X7YRMIT5 A journey through history and culture, flavors and traditions, comfort and innovation. The story of Palazzo Visconti takes root in the 1930s, when the art of wine production merges with the world of hospitality to create a unique place. At the beginning of the 20th century, Luigi Visconti acquired a small winery and, in the 1930s, established his business in the heart of the city. The location, overlooking the lake, offered a breathtaking view, and it was here that he decided to build his residence. The ground floor was dedicated to wine production, while the upper floors became his home, the perfect place to realize the dream of living in an extraordinary place and raising a large family. Even today, a photograph of the original 1930s building is visible in the image gallery. The restoration of the entire property, completed in 2021, carefully preserved the original architectural elements, keeping the most precious details intact. The elegant marble stairs, finely crafted wrought iron railings, artistic windows, and attic ceilings frescoed by artists of the time still tell the story of this exclusive residence. Each apartment offers a spectacular view and is named after one of the wines produced by the Visconti family, offering a perfect blend of tradition and modernity. The Gran Lugana, also known as the Green Apartment, is a refined four-room apartment spread over two levels, perfect for welcoming families seeking a stay focused on comfort and relaxation. The apartment has three bedrooms: a master suite with a private bathroom and a king-size bed (200 cm x 180 cm), a double room with two single beds (200 cm x 100 cm x 80 cm, one of which is pull-out) and a single room (200 cm x 100 cm). All beds are equipped with high-quality toppers, a detail designed to further improve rest and make every night a pure relaxation experience. The Gran Lugana can comfortably accommodate five people, with the possibility of hosting up to two additional guests thanks to the practical sofa bed located in the living room. Crossing the threshold, you are welcomed by a spacious living area with a dining area and a balcony offering an enchanting view of the lake. Next to the living room, the separate kitchen is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances and a modern induction cooktop. Behind the kitchen, there is a service bathroom complete with washer and dryer. Ascending to the upper floor, you access the sleeping area, where each room is equipped with air conditioning and skylights with electric opening, perfect for admiring the starry sky before falling asleep. Between the rooms, a spacious additional bathroom with a large shower offers all the necessary comfort. The apartment is equipped with air conditioning in all rooms and a smart TV with satellite channels and access to major streaming apps, including Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Video. A safe, Wi-Fi connection, and a high-speed internet service complete the experience, designed to ensure maximum comfort even for the most demanding travelers. For those arriving by car, a parking space located about 300 meters from the property can be requested. Additionally, convenient public parking is available nearby. We want to make your stay as pleasant as possible, offering you an authentic and personalized experience. For this reason, a concierge service is active in all our apartments. A week before your arrival, a dedicated concierge, available in Italian, English, German, Spanish, and Portuguese, will be at your disposal to answer any questions about the apartment and nearby attractions. Upon arrival, the concierge will personally welcome you, accompany you to the apartment, and remain available throughout your stay for any needs. At departure, they will be present to bid you farewell and ensure that your experience was perfect. This service is accessible via direct chat, guaranteeing quick and personalized assistance. Check-in is scheduled between 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM. For arrivals between 7:00 PM and 11:30 PM, a supplement of 50 E is required. Upon arrival, a security deposit of 300 E will also be necessary, which can be paid in cash or by credit card.

Great Location with very responsive staff
The Apartment was large enough to accomodate 6 adults and in a great location close to ferry terminal and many restaurants, walking distance to the beach(rocky) and the Roman ruins and castle,. I did not find the pull out sofa uncomfortable. After a few hiccups which were quickly addressed the AC work great, it was 90+ the entire length of our stay. Kitchen was well stocked with cutlery, dishes and pans. We cooked breakfast most mornings after visiting the nearby market. The team of contacts was easy to communicate with, checkin was easy, and Joao was very responsive to our requests. Many thanks Joao! I will definitely return to the area and apartment complex again.
A bit more of basic supplies as ours looked like the previous occupiers leftovers. Ice cubes trays for the freezer would have been much appreciated by us American travelers especially during the heat.
Response from VrboOwner on 24 July 2026
Dear Maureen, thank you so much for this detailed 10/10 review! 🏡 We're thrilled Gran Lugana comfortably fit your 6 adults, in a location we're proud to call strategic: steps from the ferry terminal, restaurants, the beach, and even the Roman ruins and castle in Desenzano ✨. A special thank you to Joao, who will be truly happy to read your mention — his responsiveness reflects the standards we've raised even further since becoming Official Partner of Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy® in February 2025. Regarding supplies: in compliance with Lombardy Region regulations we provide an essential starter kit, but we've noted your valuable suggestion about ice cube trays, especially helpful in summer heat 🌊. We'd love to welcome you back!

Desenzano Dreaming
The location was great for the views, accessibility to train and ferry. Within walking distance to many restaurants, shops, markets. The apartment was spacious, clean, modern, and comfortably for 5 ladies. Our Host Elizabeth greeted us prior to our trip and was available to us throughout our stay.
We were not familiar with the washer/dryer combo unit. We suggest adding some instructions to the booklet.
We did not realize it would be difficult to call a taxi or a ride share to the train station in early morning. While transport is not the responsibility of the host company, it would be helpful to share tips on availability of transport with luggage.

Excellent apartment in fabulous location!
The size of the apartment was great, plenty of room. Very modern. The welcome (by Andrelina and her husband) was very warm and informative. Excellent location right next to the lake and all that Desenzano has to offer. Beds very comfortably, incredible views!
It would be nice to have some extra things like more washing up liquid, salt, pepper and olive oil if coming from abroad….
