Your Accommodation

Malcesine is one of the most delightful villages on the lake, with the tall, pastel coloured buildings, so typically Italian, lining the narrow cobbled streets as they sweep down to the picturesque old port and cathedral. There is a lovely 15th century palace to see and for probably the best panorama of the whole lake you can take the cable car to the top of Monte Baldo, which dominates the whole area. In Malcesine we stay at the three-star Hotel Cristallo, beautifully located opposite the lake itself, and a fine example of a modern, purpose-built hotel. It has a restaurant, bar, lounge, terrace and outdoor pool (open April to October weather permitting).
Single supplement when staying at the Hotel Cristallo: £109 per person.

Or you can stay in Riva del Garda, situated beautifully at the top of the lake surrounded by lofty, pine-swathed peaks rising dramatically to 12,000 feet from the lake below. The delightful old-town is a myriad of twisting streets to wander through, full of typically Italian shops. Old, pastel-coloured houses form an attractive backdrop to the port, where small boats rise and fall with the gentle lapping of the waves. Here you can choose from the three-star Hotel Brione, centrally located and very well managed by its family owners. It provides all the comforts of a modern, purpose-built property with tastefully decorated rooms with private bathroom, TV and air-conditioning, very good quality restaurant and pleasant bar, lounge and terrace. Cross the road outside to the lakeside where you can enjoy a walk through tranquil, shaded gardens and take in the view. In the quiet landscaped grounds to the rear of the hotel is the swimming pool (open April to October weather permitting), the ideal spot in which to relax after a hard day’s sightseeing.
Single supplement when staying at the Hotel Brione: £169 per person.

You simply cannot wish for a better location than this: overlooking the picturesque old port is the three-star superior Hotel Europa, truly a wonderful and intimate hotel in an outstanding spot. It has a modern lobby and lounge and a superb terrace overlooking the harbour and colourful main piazza below, where you can take breakfast or perhaps during the evening, enjoy a relaxing drink whilst absorbing the superb view. The air-conditioned rooms are very well appointed and there is a small swimming pool on the roof (open April to September weather permitting) and comfortable lounge, ideal to relax in.
Single supplement when staying at the Hotel Europa: £145 per person.

The Hotel Savoy Palace, four-star rated, is one of the best hotels in Riva and positively exudes elegance and refinement. Set approximately 200 metres from the lakeside, it is easy to explore the lakeside itself, take in the stunning alpine vistas and stroll along the adjacent pathway to the harbour and old town. The lounge and bar make extensive use of comfortable soft furniture, glass, marble and interior plants creating a superb relaxing ambience where you can enjoy a drink.
