- Air-conditioning
- Free Wi-Fi
- Terrace
About the hotel
A tasteful conversion from two townhouses, this hotel emanates old-world ambience and recently renovated to a very high standard, the spacious welcoming reception and bar area offers comfortable seating and just off this is the restaurant.
The rooms themselves are of course, modern with the simple yet imaginative decoration at which the Italian’s excel so well. The roof top terrace offers really spectacular views across terracotta roof tops and the church spire over the lake to the mountains beyond and with no modern development to ‘blot’ the view, this is picture postcard standard. Coach access is difficult of course due to the historic situation, so a five-minute walk is necessary from the collection point, but luggage is transferred for you.
Please note:
Stays at this hotel include daily breakfast only, so you have the flexibility to enjoy the local cuisine at the town's fine restaurants.
Due to the nature of the hotel building, there is no lift access to some areas of the hotel. This means that you will need to manage your luggage from the reception to your hotel room.
The use of air conditioning is at the discretion of the hotel.
Location
A really lovely location, the four-star Hotel Antico Borgo is in Riva del Garda’s atmospheric historic centre on a pedestrianised cobbled street lined with tasteful boutiques and tiny restaurants, yet less than five minutes’ walk from the lake itself.
