    Pros +

    • Hotel room and fasciitis were very nice. Breakfast and breakfast service was excellent!
    • Great, peaceful stay at Bella Riva. Really enjoyed the staff and the grounds surrounding the hotel.
    • Location. Pool. Can run near there. Breakfast and dinner options were great! Right on the lake. Perfect spot to either visit the north side Riva or go down to Sirmione.

    Cons -

    • Difficult to get to, requiring very expensive transfers to get there. Everything at the resort food and beverage wise was quite expensive, simply because it is a five star resort and not because the quality was any better. Dinner in the restaurant one night was in fact very average, but still pricey and the service staff was also very average and didn’t do as I had specifically asked regarding the split of the bill. As we arrived prior to check in time, my wife and I went to the breakfast area and were charged 100 for what was essentially just coffee and pastries. They did reverse one of the 50 charges, but only after I said something at check out and saw the bill.
    • No gym.
    • No bidet

    Beautiful location on the shore of Lake Garda. The hotel is very attractive with many external and internal spaces to relax. The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly.

    The carpark was cramped and tricky to get in and out of. There was some audible road noise.

    10RamitaljPosted on: 8-2-2024

    Location and view were unbelievable. Very pictureque. Patio and swimming pool area overlooking the lake are just unbelievable.

    No complaints.

    10FayPosted on: 7-25-2024

    This is our second visit. The hotel has the classic Italian feel with a modern clean finishing tone. The pool is nice and clean and the lake is yards away which is also exceptionally clean to swim in. The breakfast is made fresh to order daily as well as buffet style giving the best of both worlds. The staff are exceptional. The rooms are clean large and comfortable, there is plenty of parking. And if you do dine in the evening the food is of great quality.

    10BenjaminPosted on: 7-25-2024

    We had an exceptional stay at this establishment. The location by Lake Garda was magical, and the hotel offers five-star services and beyond. The room was incredibly comfortable, and the restaurant provided a wonderful setting and high-quality cuisine.

    + Great breakfast + Direct access to the lake+ Helpful staff

    - Apartment is not furnished at 5 star level- Entrance/Exit to hotel via main road is dangerous- Surrounding areas of car park and apartments are shabby and in need of upgrade to 5 star levelThe price is 5 star but not the overall experience in our opinion.

    10michellePosted on: 7-9-2024

    Property is beautiful. Food is amazing and staff were so great to work with for a private boat and dinner off site. Highly recommended Bella Riva!

    10DAOUDPosted on: 6-23-2024

    1. Excellent service from the front desk staff, who were friendly, pleasant, and helpful.2. The cleanliness of the room and the overall environment provide a pleasant stay.3. The staff handles your reservation efficiently and goes the extra mile to assist you with various requests.4. The convenience of having a taxi booked for you, showing attentiveness to your needs.

    The garden, the pool and the view... Fantastic

    A lot of traffic noise.No furniture on the balcony.

    4KarolPosted on: 5-11-2024

    The view from the breakfest terrace is amazing

    The hotel is directly in front of the street, its too loud to sleep its honestly a disaster. Its definitely not a 5 star hotel. The rooms are standard equipped. During the breakfest even there were just few people there were no glasses for juice, food is refilled too slowly. You can not relax at the pool because the street is just behind. I would not come back again. Even i highlighted the receptionist the loud street noises, nothing happend.

    Room Quality, Breakfast, Pool Area, lake side view and location

    not much

    10SiobhánPosted on: 10-11-2023

    The property was spacious with lots of beautifully maintained grounds, the pool was clean with lovely toilet dressing showering amenities close by. The hotel and apartments were clean with a perfect uninterrupted waterfront view.

    Maybe a bigger sign to show the hotel is down a little slip road. And sone teatowels in the apt’s. Burj other than that the hotel was perfect.

    9YanPosted on: 9-30-2023

    Great location, fantastic lake view, nice swimming pool and restaurant, friendly staff

    1. Lighting: We stayed in a separate building, it is very dark with less daylight in the apartment, and lighting could be better. 2. Wifi: Very weak and slow wifi, no wifi in bedroom at all.

    9FrancesPosted on: 9-3-2023

    Location was amazing. Beautiful pool and gardens looking onto the lake. A really nice scale so even though hotel was full it didn't feel like it. Lovely staff and really great food in the restaurant.

    Really not much. Would have loved a gym but there was plenty to do.

    10TobyPosted on: 8-28-2023

    Staff, breakfast, view from room, pool, restaurant, service, cleanliness, civility of guests (mostly devoid of peacocks).

    5BrookePosted on: 8-15-2023

    The food was exceptional, the staff were all so friendly and the views were amazing. Definitely contact the manager at the hotel to discuss your room choice before booking!

    Could hear everything from the room above which resulted in very little sleep for our stay. We stayed in a “larger deluxe room” and had paid to have lake/ garden views but we just looked at the car park. Only really family friendly- you will get splashed trying to swim a length or listen to screaming kids whilst sunbathing. Not really walking distance to either town for the boat ect- definitely hire a car!! We were expecting to be able to walk along the lake to the local town but you have to walk on the road for 10 mins before you can hop into a path by the lake- just worth considering when choosing the area!
