Velòra is a 3-star hotel surrounded by a palm garden in Riva del Garda, just 50 metres from the shore of Lake Garda. The property has a swimming pool and a bar with a terrace overlooking the Alps, ideal for those seeking relaxation and lake views without moving far from the town centre.
The rooms, all air-conditioned, feature wooden floors, flat-screen TVs and a private bathroom with toiletries and hairdryer; some options offer a balcony or lake view, while others provide larger spaces with their own kitchen for longer stays. Breakfast is served with continental, Italian, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, as well as gluten-free and takeaway choices.
The location, rated 9.7 by guests, allows beaches, ice cream shops and pizzerias to be reached on foot, while the historic centre of Riva del Garda and the Alto Garda Museum are just over a kilometre away. Those arriving by car will find paid parking on site, a convenient base for exploring both the lake and the surrounding mountains.

Velòra’s range of rooms spans from compact rooms to larger units with their own kitchen, designed for both short stays and families or groups staying longer. All rooms are air-conditioned, equipped with a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with hairdryer and toiletries; several room types share the option of a large double bed or two separate single beds, a choice to be communicated at the time of booking.
What sets the room types apart is the floor space, ranging from 17 m² for the simpler rooms to 55 m² for the apartments, and the views: some rooms open onto a balcony with a lake or mountain view, others look onto the inner courtyard. The Classic apartments add a fully equipped kitchen and a separate living room, while the Deluxe Room offers more generous space with a shower and bidet in the private bathroom, ideal for those seeking greater comfort without giving up proximity to the lake.
Air-conditioned room of 17 m² with wooden floors, flat-screen satellite TV and a safe. The private bathroom has a hairdryer and toiletries; the bed configuration, double or two singles, must be specified when booking.
Compared to the standard Double/Twin Room, this Superior gains a few extra square metres (20 m²) and accommodates up to 3 people thanks to the combination of a double and single bed or three single beds. Same wooden floors, satellite TV and safe, with a private bathroom equipped with toiletries.
At 55 m², this is the largest room type in the property: an apartment renovated in 2012, located in a residential complex just 30 metres from the lake, with a balcony overlooking the water. Separate bedroom and living area with sofa bed, ideal for families or small groups.
Same compact floor space as the basic Double/Twin Room, but with the addition of a balcony overlooking the inner courtyard and a minibar in the room, handy for cold drinks without having to go down to the bar.
Among the double rooms, this is the one with the most space available, 40 m², and the only one with a bathroom fitted with a shower and bidet as well as a tea and coffee making set. The extra sofa allows up to 4 guests to be accommodated, with a wardrobe, safe and heating completing the furnishings.
A second 55 m² apartment type, distinguished from the first by the bathroom with shower and ensuite in the bedroom and by the more complete kitchen, with hob, fridge, utensils and washing machine. Overlooking the lake, it also has a separate living area.
A twin variant of the room with balcony, but here the view opens onto the surrounding mountains instead of the inner courtyard; a minibar for drinks and snacks is also present.
At 25 m², this is the largest Deluxe room with balcony among the double rooms with a view, and the only one overlooking the lake directly from its own private balcony, in addition to the flexible bed configuration that accommodates up to 3 people.
Velòra offers an outdoor pool and a garden with a sun terrace, an ideal setting to enjoy the Garda climate even without going down to the beach; guests can also make use of bike rental, walking and cycling tours and even windsurfing lessons for those who want to experience the lake actively.
The property is designed to be as practical as it is pleasant: luggage storage, safe, shuttle service, express check-in and check-out and daily housekeeping make the stay easier, while room access is provided by key cards. Attention is also given to guests travelling with pets, thanks to the pet bowls available on site.
For meals, the on-site café, the bar with wine and champagne options and the tea and coffee kettle service cover the needs of those who prefer to stay at the hotel. The rooms and common areas offer flat-screen TVs with satellite channels and internet access, while the entire property is also accessible to guests with disabilities thanks to lifts to the upper floors.
Velòra is located in Riva del Garda, on the northern shore of Lake Garda, in a residential area a short walk from the water and the town centre.
