Hotel Ristorante Vecchia Riva

The staff are super friendly and helpful. The breakfast has a good continental offering.

No gym

Hotel was clean and cozy. The staff were very helpful. Lakeview was spectacular!

Wonderful restaurant, great service for afternoon drinks outside.

Check in was a little clunky maybe due to communication issues. We were told the advertised airport shuttle wasn’t available to us because we hadn’t reserved it and yet it became available at a much higher cost.

Very well run property on Lake Varese, from efficient and pleasant checkin to the lovely restaurant, offering decent breakfast buffet and a la carte dining on the terrace or dining room. Plenty of free car park available, spacious rooms at reasonable prices. Owners are very hands-on involved with positive effect on the quality of the hotel services.

Pity not allowed to swim in the lake.

the front desk was great the room was very dark and the location on lake maggiore is nice.

the room was 40 C or a110 C at the end of May 2025 and their was not screens on the window. The air-conditioning doesn't get turned on until the end of July so you will roast. However, the owner and his wife both pretended that it would get cooler when they knew that it wouldn't . When they learned my husband was a geomatra finally they were like we will give you credit. So nice location would not stay there again. Room dimly lit.

Lovely hotel. Very quiet and relaxed atmosphere. Very good restaurant for dinner on site. That was super convenient.

The walking path didn’t continue around the lake, you had to hike to get to the bicycle path which went around the hotel

The Hotel, staff, place and rooms were great. Rooms were spacious and clean. We were positively surprised. Would reccommend to make reservation for the restaurant and have a dinner there. I am greatefull for the stay. Sincere thanks!

Maybe you would consider to have something warm for breakfast. Less cakes and sweets, but at least hot water/tea for self service and hot egs. (upon request Coffee and tea was served really pleasantly and was really good). Thank you.

The place is nice and has a good location for what brought us there. The staff is friendly and the room size is good. The breakfast was pretty basic, but not bad.

The bed, at least for us, wasn't comfortable; it felt very hard. The pillows were definitely impossible to sleep on.

Classic 19th C Italian architecture inside and out… impeccable service and assistance with smiles. Simply superb restaurant and dining experiences….And beautiful setting and view over lake.

Could only stay two nights, but will return

Very friendly helpful team everyone was so welcoming and made our stay really enjoyable.

Room was very basic and lighting was a little dim and the air con fan was very noisy.

-Hotel directly facing the Varese lake with wonderful views in a tranquil setting- Restaurant on site is quite popular and worth trying

Location is great if you have a car, not so much if you need public transport.

The breakfast buffet is everything you expect from a continental breakfast with the plus that the products are fresh and the best you can imagine in "Italian style".

Well, at night while I was already in bed I could smell some cigarette smoke coming from "somewhere" but I couldn't really figure where it was coming from. It happened twice around 11 pm.

The staff was extremely polite and professional. The room with the lake view was spacious and clean. I especially enjoyed the restaurant in the evening, eating outside. The food was excellent.

Everybody is so friendly and helpful and polite the breakfast is amazing you can sit on the terrace and everything is clean and modern the rooms gave air conditioning so if you find it to hot that is not a oroblem.

We liked everything.

Friendly and helpful staff, nice room, good breakfast. Quiet and intimate area.

It's a little bit far from the city. Also, to get to the lakes, it took us the same as if we were driving from Milano.

Close to the Lago Varese, within foot steps.

Breakfast is Italian Standard, nothing fancy. Everyday the same, few bread options, one type of cheese, the standard ham and a few fruits.

Spacious room, good price. Perfect for a 1 night in between stop.

The hotel had a wonderful vibe. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had two fabulous dinners in the beautiful outdoor restaurant. A fantastic experience, we did not want to leave

Absolutely nothing.

Brilliant location right by lake Varese. Friendly and helpful staff. Very good restaurant.

Quiet and beautiful location with modern buildings and design and big breakfast
