Heritage. Passion. Sense of place.

Park Hotel is part of our family’s story. What began as a small trattoria in the years following the Second World War grew, thanks to our grandparents and parents, into the hotel it is today. We are now proud to carry that story forward as its third generation.

For us, Park Hotel is more than a place of hospitality. It is where we grew up, where many of our childhood memories were made, Today, we continue to call it home together with our children, so that it can welcome new stories every day while keeping our own alive.

We manage four properties on Lake Garda, but Park Hotel remains the place closest to our heart. A historic hotel in Desenzano that, since 1879, has welcomed every guest with authenticity and prestige.

The Cerini Family

The beginning: Hotel Due Colombe.

On Desenzano’s lakeside promenade, Hotel Due Colombe (Zwei Tauben) opens its doors, soon becoming a refined destination for international travellers.

Hotel Savoia Splendid: an established prestige.

The hotel is acquired by the Giordani family and renamed Hotel Savoia Splendid, consolidating its prestige on Lake Garda.

Francesco Cerini: a new chapter.

Francesco Cerini, already the owner of Hotel Nazionale, acquires Hotel Savoia Splendid, beginning a new phase in its history.

Vittorio and Nerina: entrepreneurial passion.

Vittorio and Nerina Cerini take over management, and with enthusiasm and entrepreneurial vision, will lead Park Hotel to become one of the most prestigious hotels on Lake Garda.

Lucia and Francesca: the third generation.

It’s time for Lucia and Francesca Cerini, daughters of Vittorio and Nerina, who grew up breathing in the atmosphere of the hotel. Today, they still lead Park Hotel with the same passion as always, blending experience, elegance and a contemporary vision.

Our staff

It’s the people who make your stay special.

At Park Hotel, every smile, every thoughtful gesture and every recommendation comes from people who share the same vision: a genuine love for this place and for heartfelt hospitality.

Thanks to them, every guest feels recognised, expected and effortlessly at home. Because hospitality, to us, means more than welcoming someone through our doors. It means inviting them into an atmosphere, a story and a promise that will stay with them.

Over 150 years of hospitality, shaped on the shores of Lake Garda.
