Andreas place is located in the heart of Riva del Garda which is, in my opinion, the absolute top spot of any towns on Lake Garda.
His place is 50 meters from the town square, next to the best restaurant in Riva, 70 Meters from the ferry, 150 meters from the bus and within 7-8 minutes walking to a top notch grocery store. While his place is a bit rustic, there are skylights throughout, so it is full of natural light, gas stove and oven, washing machine, and everything else you’ll need and Andrea was nice enough to stop by and bring me a couple more things to make my stay that much more enjoyable. He also provides, at a cost, beer, wine, snacks, soft drinks, water, jams, light fare and canned soups, etc., if your not in the mood for shopping after a long day out. The space will easily accommodate four although their is only one bedroom. His communication is excellent and he always provides useful information for hiking, biking, etc., and best towns to visit on the Lake and off.
The reason Riva is the best are many fold. The main square is right on the Lake, the atmosphere is always buzzing day or night, with many restaurants, street performers of all types (May 15-September 15) a promenade that extends 5 kms all the way to Torbole, so you can walk along the Lake for 45 minutes to Torbole and enjoy, with thousands of locals, vacationers and people of literally every age, the many beaches, para-sailing lessons and rentals, boat rentals shops and many beachfront cafes, gelaterias and burger shops and very nice shops with all types of merchandise for any type of shopper. The weather was 85-100 degrees in late July, and the Italians, hands down, have the loveliest tans. Their are two outstanding Catholic Churches within 5-8 minutes walk where you can pray without distraction and they are literally within view of each other.
I also recommend renting a scooter for 2 or 3 days from Vespa Torbole scooter rentals. I rented a scooter with 200ccs for €162 for three days everything, insurance also included and you can pay cash and they recommend International Drivers Permits for Americans.
I highly recommend Andreas space and Andrea himself is very thoughtful and was always gracious with any requests or if I happened to see him in town anywhere.
