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.
