Riva del Garda
the Garda diamond

The “dolce vita” of Riva del Garda

Paradise on the north-western shore of Lake Garda

The scents in Riva del Garda are of olive oil, lemon juice, bay leaves and fine wine, mountain traditions and Mediterranean ease.

Nestling between Lake Garda and the Brenta Dolomites, Riva del Garda is the very epicentre of Garda Trentino: a charming little town that ascends the rugged cliffs and (with its panoramic lift) reaches up to the fortress of “Il Bastione”, whose grey stone walls proudly watch over the lively community below. And there is plenty to be found there – climbing and windsurfing, art exhibitions and open-air concerts, cheese tastings and winery visits.

Let your gaze roam over the glittering mirror of the lake, aperitivo in hand, and simply allow the esprit, style and vibrancy of this unique location to take effect. Welcome to Riva del Garda – life at its sweetest!
