Hotel Villa Nicolli
At the northern end of Lake Garda where the lake ends and the spectacular Brenta Dolomites begin lies the town of Riva del Garda. Just a few minutes walk from the old town with its narrow streets and the shores of the lake with its pebble beach is Hotel Villa Nicolli, a 4 star hotel set in its own garden with outdoor swimming pool and a full Spa including Himalayan salt cave, Turkish bath, bio sauna, vitae path and relax area and a heated indoor salt water pool with big picture windows facing onto the garden. You will find the emphasis is on quality, whether it be the furnishings in the public rooms, the lounge has big comfortable armchairs or the bedrooms, many of them recently refurbished and all with balcony or terrace many with views towards the vineyards and mountains. The hotel serves a buffet breakfast each day from 07.00 - 10.00, lunch or a snack is available often served at the pool so there is no problem as to where to go to find something to eat! In the evening dinner with a choice from an à la carte menu, salad bar, dessert and cheese trolley is served in the main restaurant. For several years now the hotel has catered for coeliac guests and is accredited by the Italian Coeliac Society so, rest assured, all coeliacs will be well looked after.
Hotel Villa Nicolli is situated in a quiet residential area of Riva del Garda but near enough to the old town to make it an easy walk at any time during the day or in the evening. Have fun exploring the narrow cobbled streets and boutiques or go to the big square by the harbour and sit in one of the many bars and watch the world go by! Bars and shops stay open till quite late during the summer so you will have plenty to do. If you are looking for a shopping bargain you will find good quality shoes, belts and handbags. For the more active you can choose between sailing, windsurfing, mountain bikes or even rock climbing near Arco. Near to Riva and well worth a visit is the Cascata di Varone, a waterfall that pours down a gorge or even a climb up to Arco castle perched on top of the rock with amazing views up and down the valley. Make use of the public boat service to visit other villages round the lake such as Limone or Malcesine from where you can take the cable car to the top of Monte Baldo for a spectacular view the full length of the lake and the mountains beyond. Coach excursions are also available to the Dolomites, Verona, Venice and round the lake.
