We stayed in the apartment for about a month. Andrea, the manager, is wonderful! He’s incredibly helpful and responsive, and he provides good tips for food and exploring the greater Riva area.
The location is very central. We walked to the lake and around the old town. The Trentino bus system is free to visitors and less than a 10 minute walk to a couple stops so don’t miss out on visiting other towns. (Andrea can help with the guest card). The ferry is a few minutes walk to explore other fabulous towns on the lake.
The area is fun and vibrant in the summer. We kept the windows open to enjoy the lake breeze so the music from buskers and voices from the piazza filled the apartment. The clock and bell tower is directly outside of the apartment. The bells stop ringing at 23:00. Music generally stops then as well.
Garbage/recycling pick up happens four mornings a week. (Glass is loud on Saturday mornings.) But if you are out of the apartment early, (take one of the beautiful hikes up the mountains) then you’ll miss the noise.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The beauty of Riva and Lake Garda is hard to beat!
