We had a very enjoyable week at Gardesana thanks in no small way to the friendly hard working staff. Rooms were spotless with clean towels daily. Service in the dining room was friendly and efficient. The chef provided an excellent variety and quality of food beautifully presented throughout our stay. The reception staff were happy to help with bus timetables... More

...I booked this hotel because it seemed very good value, and I was right... The hotel is about ten minutes walk from the centre of Riva old town, but as this walk is a pleasant walk along the lake shore, this was very much okay. (also close to the path going opposite way to Torbole) Riva, I would suspect gets... More

Complimentary parking - (may be a bit limited in high season but there is a big carpark over the main road) and complimentary wi fi. Clean basic room with balcony. Very helpful staff. Breakfast buffet... More

We've just had a lovely week in a very spacious room, 302, at the Gardesana. The hotel is spotlessly clean, there was a good choice of menu, especially desserts, staff were very helpful, and there is always someone close at hand who speaks English. We really enjoyed the pool after a long day on a coach tour, although 'bracing' is... More

We travelled from Edinburgh to Riva Del Garda with The Travel Department. We were concerned when we learned there was a three and a half hour journey from Milan airport to our hotel. However, the trip was better than we had anticipated, due to the delightful Antonietta, our tour guide. (Her knowledge of the areas we visited throughout our trip... More

Went with Travel Department for a romantic break with my wife on a cheap package deal for one week. Lovely lot of older but active tourists. For the money we paid this hotel was spot on. Room was clean and had a funny, slightly impractical layout but must have been repainted and the bathroom refurbished that season. I would move... More
