Great appartment in the middle of the Riva del Garda centre, you litterally walk out the door and within 20 metres you'll find a lovely bar Troiani (where they serve the best croissants on the planet!!) and ice cream, and pizzeria Bella Napoli which is good as well. For during-the-day bites and a bakery I heavily recommend Panem, 2 blocks away, where you can tast the real Italy kitchen. A small Coop supermarket 1 block away.
We walked to the beach every day, will take you 10 mins and you dive into the Garda Lake. Also highly recommended is visiting the beautiful Canale Di Tenno, don't forget to bring your towel because Lake Tenno is a must do swim.
Riva del Garda is an car-free village, so yes, that has 2 sides: you will have to look for a parking place which at the end of the afternoon could take a while. Try the hospital and cinema parking places. Thank you Niccolò for the hospitallity, helping me with the booking and checking in and all. Great!
