Hotels

Built in 1904 on a prime piece of real estate on Lake Garda’s shoreline, Hotel Bella Riva serves up classic northern Italian luxury with a modern twist. The luxury hotel exudes old-world glamour with stone terraces furnished with wicker chaises, a beautiful lake-facing swimming pool, and lush gardens gorgeously illuminated at night. Guest rooms are elegant, with luminous Gustav Klimt-inspired headboards, crisp white linens, oak parquet floors, and marble bathrooms with rainfall showers or bathtubs. Some have balconies with views of the lake, while others have large windows overlooking the gardens. There’s a veranda for a leisurely lunch, and a stylish open-kitchen restaurant, as well as a cocktail bar set on stilts above the waters of the lake.
