Perfect location. Clean. Beautiful kitchen.
I rented Silvia and Marco´s apartment for one month during summer:
- They came to welcome us and to explain how everything works in the apt.
- The owners payed attention to every detail that you might need during your stay (with even a welcoming fruit basket and a prosecco in the fridge!)
- They respect guests´ privacy, and they are available for any issues related with the apartment. Communication is easy and fast.
- The kitchen is a gem: there is everything that you might need to cook, and it looks (and feels) like home. And it has dishwasher!
- The shower is perfect.
- The apartment has Air Conditioning which makes a big difference to sleep during hot days.
- Sleeping: it´s a very quiet neighborhood, and night time is peaceful.
- The washing machine is inside the apartment.
- Internet connection works perfectly! I was also able to work from the apartment without problems.
- From the apartment, you can reach the lake in a 10 minutes walk, or downtown Riva del Garda walking distance 15: you can just enjoy the walk by staying close to the lake or through main streets. It´s a nice and safe walk, even during night time. The bus stop to go to other towns around (Extraurbana) is in front of Mall in the same Viale Rovereto. Or, you can bike with Silvia and Marco´s bycicles: it´s a great gift to have them available!
- If you arrive with a car, you can park in an assigned spot inside the courtyard which has the same main entrance of the palazzina (condominium). Everything is handy and safe. In front of the palazzina, crossing the street, there is a public parking area, as well.
- You reach the apartment from the ground floor in just few stairs.
- Regarding safety, if you are a woman travelling alone, the palazzina is inhabited by respectful neighbors, and the area is well illuminated.
- There is a CONAD market only three blocks away, withing the mall where you can also find an ATM, several restaurants, hairstylist (Colorist Cristina), and several fashion stores. On Viale Rovereto, there are various pizzerias, coffee places, bars, gelato places and urban bus stop.
- The neighborhood is a mixed of industrial and residential area. There is no sound disturbance.
- The apartment has a view of some pine trees. You can have your breakfast in the little balcony with a wonderful morning sunlight.

CONS
- Everything was amazingly wonderful.
- The only CON is regarding Riva del Garda and its local entrepreneurship: they have no train station! So, if you plan a trip by train, you´ll have to take a bus (Atesina) to/from Stazione Ferroviaria Rovereto (40 minutes away). Fortunately, the bus is 10 minutes walk distance from the apartment.
