One of the most thriving tourist centres in Italy, Lake Garda is renowned for its spectacular lake, the beauty of its countryside and mild climate. Its lakeside towns have a reputation for true healthy living. Enjoy leisurely days of walking, cycling and sighseeing or simply lounging in the sunshine. Lake Garda offers a number of lakeside towns, each with a unique appeal for the holidaymaker. Our recommended hotels are located in the town of Riva del Garda, located at the northern end of Lake Garda and surrounded by towering mountains.
RIVA DEL GARDA Known as the ‘Pearl of Lake Garda’ Riva del Garda enjoys a spectacular location at the north of the lake in a very scenic setting, towered over by Monte Rocchetta. The old town centre, set around the 12th century fortress, has lots to offer the holidaymaker – from historical buildings to narrow streets lined with vibrant flowerboxes and packed with shops of all descriptions. Discover the array of lakeside bars and restaurants and sample the range of delectable cuisine, inspired by local and international recipes and featuring the delicious local produce.
