The most wonderful feature of this hotel is its unbeatable location—right on the shores of beautiful Lake Garda. The main hotel building is full of charm, elegance, and character. Since we needed a larger family room, we stayed in a separate building. While our room was very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, I would definitely recommend requesting a room in the main property if possible, as that's where the true atmosphere and beauty of the hotel really shine. The food was outstanding, and the breakfast was amazing, with a wonderful selection and excellent quality. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return, especially to experience the main building next time.

Superb

Lovely property - especially the garden and pool. Breakfast was excellent as was dinner, in a stunning setting. Public rooms very nice. Staff very helpful. Let down was the room. We had an apartment room which was OK space wise for 3 people but finish and amenities not nearly good enough for 5 star. It felt cheap - eg plastic garden chairs inside which couldn’t really take my weight-185lbs!

Our stay at Hotel Bella Riva was a fantastic experience from top to bottom. The breakfasts were phenomenal, perhaps the best I've ever had on holiday. The service from all of the staff was top tier. Every member of the staff acted with such relaxed professionalism. If I had to say anything was disappointing (nothing really was, but just to say something) the fine dining approach to dinner was a missed opportunity in my opinion. It is hard to have fine dining multiple nights in a row, a lot of people travel to Italy for comforts they know from other countries, pizza, lasagna, pasta, etc. You won't get that sort of thing with Hotel Bella Riva's fine dining dinner menu. Not to say it's bad food, it is good food. It is easy enough to get into the various towns and hotspots around Lake Garda as well, the bus services nearby are very useful, and everything is reasonably walkable as well. Overall, 10/10 experience, would love to come back.

We had a great stay. Customer service was excellent and the property and the view from it are beautiful. Petro at the front desk and Alberto at the pool both gave us excellent service. Only suggestion would be to add coffee machines in the room but other then that, I would rate the experience a ten out of ten. We would definitely come back again.

Excellent petit déjeuner, service, très attentionné, propreté des chambres

Amazing hotel. We slept in the apartments building because we were four but im sure the rooms are even better! Garden and pool and access to the lake are all mind blowing. Breakfast is nice and rich!

Hotel Bella Riva is a true gem on Lake Garda. From the moment you arrive, you’re struck by the elegance of its design — a seamless blend of historic charm and modern chic. The décor is refined yet warm, with thoughtful touches everywhere, from the marble bathrooms to the terraces that open directly to breathtaking lake views. The atmosphere is relaxed luxury: upscale without being pretentious. The pool and gardens right by the water create the perfect place to unwind, while the restaurant and bar offer both style and substance, with dining experiences enhanced by panoramic views. What sets Bella Riva apart is the attention to detail. The staff are attentive and professional, always anticipating your needs while making you feel at home. Every corner of the hotel feels carefully curated, from the cozy lounge to the spacious, light-filled suites. If you’re looking for a chic, intimate, and beautifully designed retreat in the heart of Lake Garda, Hotel Bella Riva is simply unforgettable. Highly recommended.

Amazing hotel! Would highly recommend

Spectacular property and staff with magnificent views of Lake Garda, wonderful drinks and meals.

From the moment we arrived we were greeted with an enormous amount of respect the girls at the front desk were very professional and helpful and friendly and of course Elisa went out of her way to help us with car rental issues she was on the phone for two days to help us get a different car we will never forget her kindness.

The room was really bad

Loved this hotel. Would stay here again. Such amazing service and beautiful property.

Beautiful hotel and the food was excellent both breakfast and dinner.

Porsche destination charging (free) was a real bonus. Pool amazing, hotel really lovely. Food at dinner was a bit of a disaster - not sure if they were struggling for kitchen staff but wasn’t cooked at all well. Everything else was brilliant so decided on balance to ignore this (and breakfast next morning was really good). Staff were superbly helpful and bd friendly and spoke excellent English (much better than my very limited Italian!)

Beautiful property amazing staff. 5 star experience

We had a wonderful 2 nights stay...staff were super helpful...really enjoyed the food and the restaurant ambiance...stunning views of the lake...nice gardens and pool too...front desk arranged a sunset cruise on the lake with less than 2 hours notice...a romantic delight

This hotel was amazing from start to finish the staff were very helpful and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for them. We stayed in an apartment which is a separate building to the hotel and would recommend for families as there is lots of space, small well equipped kitchen, sofa bed and separate bedroom. We also had 2 beautiful balconies overlooking the rear secluded garden and lake. The restaurant was a highlight of our stay I cannot praise the quality and presentation enough. Without a doubt this will be a must to stay in when we return to the area.

The hotel is set in a beautiful location, right on the lakefront, with a lovely garden pool. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. The only drawback was parking, as the car park was always full and seemed to be open to non-hotel guests, as well as noisy bikers. The entrance to the hotel was a u-turn from the street, relatively fine to enter, but perilously dangerous and tricky to exit...

Super great breakfast right next to lake Garda. Friendly staff.
