Hotel Portici – Romantik & Wellness

Hotel Portici – Romantik & Wellness is a 4-star hotel overlooking the largest square in Riva del Garda, just 30 metres from the shores of Lake Garda.

Housed in a historic building surrounded by characteristic alleys and small boutiques, the hotel has been fully renovated while keeping the charm of the pedestrian centre in which it stands. The nearest beach, Sabbioni, is about 650 metres away, while the harbour from which lake boat trips depart is reached in just two minutes on foot.

The rooms, furnished in a contemporary style, feature air conditioning, free WiFi, satellite TV, a small fridge and a private bathroom with hairdryer; some higher-category room types offer a city view or more spacious solutions such as suites with a sitting area. In the morning, breakfast is served as a buffet with continental, Italian and gluten-free options, while the restaurant-pizzeria offers dishes from Trentino cuisine for the rest of the day. The offering is completed by a private garage, a free bicycle storage room with maintenance tools and a wellness centre accessible for a fee, ideal for those seeking relaxation after a day on the lake.

Location & what to see

Hotel Portici is located in the pedestrian heart of Riva del Garda, right on Piazza 3 Novembre, the city’s main square, just 30 metres from the lakeside promenade. Around the property stretches a network of alleys with boutiques, ice cream shops and small restaurants: places like Gelateria il Vecchio Porto and Ristorante Pizzeria Benacense are just a few dozen metres away, while the MAG Museo Alto Garda is about 150 metres away.

The harbour of Riva, the starting point for boat trips on Lake Garda, is reachable in two minutes on foot, and Sabbioni beach is about 650 metres away. For those arriving by car, the property has a private garage, useful given that the hotel is located within a pedestrian area; the nearest airport is Verona-Villafranca, about 52 km away. The railway stations of Mori and Malcesine are about 12-13 km away.

Riva del Garda is a great base for those who love outdoor sports and lake scenery: nearby are Parco dell’Ora and Parco della Pace, both within one kilometre, and the spectacular Ponale Waterfall, about 2.7 km away, the starting point of scenic trails above the lake. In summer, the lake is well suited to sailing, windsurfing and walks along the harbour, while in winter the town keeps its charm thanks to its historic arcades and lively small venues. Mountain lovers can reach Passo San Giovanni in about 5 km, a starting point for scenic hikes above the Garda valley.
