Vecchia Riva

Vecchia Riva is an aparthotel in Riva del Garda, about 650 metres from Sabbioni Beach and a short walk from the historic centre, with a city view and free WiFi throughout the property.

The property offers three types of independent accommodation, all with a full kitchenette, tiled floors and a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer. The spaces combine a sleeping area, dining area and living area, making the apartments suitable for both couples and small groups looking for independence during their stay on Lake Garda.

Plan your stay at Vecchia Riva

Aparthotel a few steps from the Riva del Garda lakefront, with apartments featuring a kitchenette, balcony and city view, ideal for independent stays on Lake Garda.

Room types

The apartments at Vecchia Riva share the same layout and amenities: independent entrance, kitchenette with hob, refrigerator and electric kettle, private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, tiled floors and a flat-screen TV. Each unit measures about 39 square metres and is designed to provide complete independence during the stay, with a dining area and living area integrated into the living space.

What sets the three types apart is mainly the balcony, present in the Superior Apartment and the Studio but not in the Classic Apartment, and the capacity: while the two apartments accommodate up to two people with a large double bed, the Studio accommodates up to three guests thanks to an extra single bed. All accommodations enjoy a city view, a detail that makes them particularly popular with those staying in Riva del Garda for a short period.
