My family and I stayed here on June 20. We were coming from the Giostra del Saracino in Arezzo back to our base in Alba Adriatica, and decided fairly late to stay overnight rather than do the 3 hour drive through the mountains after the Giostra ended at midnight. Since lodgings in Arezzo were pretty well filled up, we decided to drive back to Passignano before stopping. We liked Hotel Darsena, but the problem was that we would be arriving at 1 AM and their office closes at 11:30 PM. We contacted the hotel by email, and received a very nice reply in English from Sasha. She agreed to give us our room key on Saturday morning as we passed through Passignano on the way to our day's activities. We came in at 1 AM and reached our room quietly. The facilities were nice and clean, and in the morning the staff laid out one of the finest free continental breakfasts I've ever seen, with salami, two cheese wheels, yogurt, cereal, croissants, bread, pastries, two kinds of juice and coffee. We explored the beautiful Lake Trasimeno in the morning, and headed back to Alba in the afternoon. We were very pleased with our stay and the value we received for our money.

“Cheap but clean and comfortable.”

This hotel provides the “necessities”; the room is clean, the bathroom functional and the breakfast generous ( no hot options though). The pool was a very welcome respite after the heat of the day.

This hotel provides the “necessities”; the room is clean, the bathroom functional and the breakfast generous ( no hot options though). The pool was a very welcome respite after the heat of the day. It is adjacent to a train track which seems to be unused between 7pm and 7am. There is also lots of private parking available. I’d like to able to make a cup of tea in the room It’s also a short drive into the main township which has lots of dining options along the lake front. In short an excellent option for travellers not wanting to spend a small fortune on accomodation.

“Good for money!!!”

This hotel reminds me the kind of hotels along the roads 30 years ago and have this style of old fashioned motels.

This hotel reminds me the kind of hotels along the roads 30 years ago and have this style of old fashioned motels. Free parking, good WiFi, clean and good size swimming pool, make this place a good opportunity to roam around the Trasimeno lake. Rooms are clean with balcony, in a need to be a bit " refreshed", but with all the amenities you need from minibar to A/C. Breakfast is quite ok, so a good value for money in a high season. Thanks

“Good food and value for money.”

La Darsena on Lake Trasimeno is a good base to explore the area, but you definitely need a car, it’s a good walk into Passignano. Also we went in the beginning of October and we were bit all over by the ‘zanzari’, take insect repellent/joss sticks, whatever you need to keep’em away! July and August… lisää

La Darsena on Lake Trasimeno is a good base to explore the area, but you definitely need a car, it’s a good walk into Passignano. Also we went in the beginning of October and we were bit all over by the ‘zanzari’, take insect repellent/joss sticks, whatever you need to keep’em away! July and August must be horrendous. You get a view of the lake from the balcony, but only just………..it’s further than you think. Also, the railway runs in front of the hotel and the motorway to Perugia runs behind it so you are sandwhiched between the two. We flew to Pisa and did a tour around Tuscany and Umbria so La Darsena was a good base further south to enable us to visit Montipulciano, Siena, San Gimignano, Perugia and the Termes (a must). The hotel staff were very friendly and the food was traditional……..would I stay again? Maybe…….. It would be ok as a base for exploring the area for a couple of nights.
