Villa Franca

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.

Room types

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.

Location & what to see

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.
