We stayed a whole month in the Queen on the Lake. It was lovely. The apartment has a stunning location right on the edge of Garda. The views from the main window are fantastic. In the morning, you can watch the ducks and swans gliding across the water. In the evening you can watch the clouds gathering around Monte Baldo. It's pretty awesome.
The flat itself is a duplex. We really liked how much space you get, the fact there are two bathrooms, and the well-equipped kitchen. WiFi works brilliantly. In fact, it was one of the fastest connections we had in Italy. The bed is moderately comfy – nothing special but will do. Location wise, this can hardly be beaten for exploring northern Garda. We came primarily for hiking, and there's loads of trails from the door. Others are accessible after a short bus. The nearest pebble beach is maybe 5 mins, but you can find a jump-off spot near the Ponale that's closer. Finally, the service from HolidayNest was brilliant. They were easy to contact, quick to reply, and even helped me receive some important mail during our stay – thanks guys!
A few things we would suggest to improve/point out for future stays: (1) A deeper clean would have been nice (we found some half-used shampoo on the top of the shower and lots of dust on the floor – nothing big but meant we had to give it a go over when we arrived) (2) The air conditioning made a super-annoying noise when you turned it on so that we actually couldn't use it cos it stopped us from sleeping (3) The chopping board is warped (needs a new one) and the kitchen cupboard was a little broken (4) You have to walk all the way across town to drop off your bins, perhaps there's a better solution? (5) We turned the heating on once when it got cold towards October and there's a leak in the boiler so had to turn it off – make sure this is fixed if you come for the winter!
On the whole this was a really nice stay in Riva. The location can't be beaten and the flat is comfy and cosy for what we were after. Would recommend.
