Lake Garda, in Riva, has got a particular charm. The blue of its waters is more intense, the sunlight is more vivid and the air is clearer, oxygenated by the neighbouring mountains. Where the lake ends and makes room for the Dolomite of Brenta, the tourist enjoys the pleasure of an holiday with thousend facets : history, art, sport and nature, but also a warm welcome .....
The Nicolli family offers welcome and hospitality to the customers since 40 years. Born at the beginning of the 60ies as an inn, in time has been changed into a pretty hotel, thanks to the zeal and kindness of its owners. It stands in a quiet position, all around a Mediterranean vegetation composed of olive trees, lemon trees, palms and laurels, where the intense green of the trees is interrupted by the crystallclear blue of the waters of the swimminig pools : all that in a few minutes from the centre of Riva .
Here the lovers of architecture will be guided through the old little squares of the centre down to the interior of the Rocca. The Castle, on guard of the port and in the shade of the tower of " Anzolim " represents the starting point for a relaxing ferryboat trip on the Benaco 's waters, scouting the little lake-centres.
If you are, on the contrary, in search of relax there is the lakeside with its pebbly-beaches, its numerous green oasis and its ponds: these are the ideal places for finding that sensation of stillness and well-being that everybody seeks. And if you are not satisfied with that, you can decide to untertake long and healthy walks or pleasant cycle rides on the old paths in the middle of the olive trees, going then on old muletracks that will lead everyone to the top, ready to photograph some breathtaking landscapes.
But all the people, sportmen and not, lovers of art and amusement, meet at table. Only tasting the tipical dishes, the lake-specialities, the dishes of the local tradition, and by accompanying all that with a glass of vintage wines, producted by some grapes ripened on the " terrace " of neighbouring hills, you can really feel on holiday !!!
