Villa Franca is a 3-star superior hotel in Nago-Torbole, on Lake Garda, about 200 metres from the shore, with an indoor and outdoor pool, garden and a full wellness centre with sauna and Turkish bath.
The property is designed for those looking for water sports, relaxation and comfort: the rooms, all with air conditioning, private bathroom and flat-screen TV, overlook the garden, the pool or the surrounding mountains, with a balcony in many room types. Options range from the Economy Double Room to the larger Junior Suite and Suite, also suitable for large families thanks to quadruple and triple rooms.
The wellness centre offers sauna, Turkish bath, whirlpool bath and swim-against-the-current pool, while the garden with lawn invites guests to games of table tennis or relaxing swims. The restaurant serves local and Italian cuisine, and the property organises free guided mountain bike tours during the warmer months. Torbole is 1 km away, Riva del Garda 2 km and Arco 4 km, making Villa Franca a good base for exploring the northern shore of the lake.
The rooms at Villa Franca share air conditioning, private bathroom, flat-screen TV and soundproofing, but vary greatly in size and view: from the 24 sqm Economy Double Room to the 64 sqm Suite, the most spacious with a separate living area and panoramic view. The Junior Suite, at 34 sqm, has a seating area with sofa bed and modern furnishings, while several room types, from the Quadruple Room with Balcony to the Triple Room with Terrace, overlook the pool or the garden.
Large families can choose between quadruple rooms with bunk beds and triple rooms designed for three people, both available with balcony or terrace. The Budget Double/Twin Room adds a safe and walk-in shower at a more affordable price, while the city-view room types offer an alternative for those who don’t need a view of the lake or the pool.
The Junior Suite, at 34 sqm, is the most carefully furnished room type: it has a seating area with sofa, modern design and a large balcony, plus orthopaedic mattresses and natural down duvets for quality rest.
At 64 sqm, this is the most spacious room type in the property: it offers a living area separate from the sleeping area and a panoramic view of the lake, ideal for those looking for more space during their stay.
Facing north, this is the simplest room type in the property: tiled floors and a private bathroom with hairdryer and toiletries, without balcony or a specific view.
Designed for families with four beds, this 36 sqm quadruple room stands out for its view of the pool and garden from the balcony, with a flexible bed configuration between bunk bed and double bed.
Among the double/twin rooms, this one has the most extra features: safe, wardrobe, walk-in shower with bidet and a balcony with pool view, in a soundproofed 29 sqm room.
At 37 sqm, this is the largest quadruple room available, set apart from the others by its private terrace overlooking the garden and pool, plus the same flexible bed configuration.
Suitable for three people, this 28 sqm triple room offers a balcony with garden and pool view, with the option of choosing between three single beds or a combination with a double bed.
Larger than the Triple Room with Balcony, this 33 sqm room is the only triple room with a private terrace and walk-in shower, as well as a pool view.
Villa Franca places great emphasis on wellness: the spa centre includes sauna, Turkish bath, hammam, whirlpool bath and massage area, alongside a gym and an indoor pool with a swim-against-the-current lane. Outside, the garden with sun terrace features a table tennis court and relaxation areas with deckchairs and sun loungers.

Villa Franca is located in the Lido di Arco area of Nago-Torbole, on the northern shore of Lake Garda, in an area popular mainly with those practising water sports such as surfing and sailing. Lido Blu beach is just 300 metres away, while the Meeting restaurant is practically steps from the hotel, at 10 metres, and Surfer’s Grill is 250 metres away.
Torbole is 1 km away, Riva del Garda 2 km and Arco about 4 km, all easily reachable by bicycle thanks to the cycle paths nearby. Those arriving by car will find Mori railway station about 10 km away, while the most convenient airport is Verona-Villafranca, 51 km away. The MAG Museum of Alto Garda is 2.5 km away, useful for an afternoon dedicated to local history.
The area is ideal for those who love nature and outdoor activities: the Busatte Adventure Park, 1.5 km away, offers tree-top courses, while the Ponale Waterfall, about 3.4 km away, is a classic destination for those looking for views over the lake from above. In summer, the proximity to the lake allows guests to alternate swimming and water sports with mountain bike excursions organised free of charge by the hotel; in spring and autumn the milder climate makes for pleasant walks along the shores and the trails of Monte Baldo, visible from the area.
Reviews particularly praise the staff (9.9) and cleanliness (9.6), followed by comfort and value for money (9.5). The location, rated 9.3, is especially appreciated by couples, who give it 9.3 for a trip for two.
