Abutting the lake in Riva del Garda is the Du Lac et du Parc Grand Resort. Here, you have the choice of staying in the hotel, suites, villas or bungalows.

The park's beach offers a variety of activities on its soft sand and clear blue waters. The resort has its own restaurants and cocktail bars. Du Lac et du Parc is 20 miles north of Bogliaco Golf Resort, a stunning 18-hole course.
Closer to the town's center, the Grand Hotel Liberty offers rooms in an early 20th-century palace. The hotel offers a few sizes of rooms, but the stunning murals and crystal waters in the pools will make any room feel like the royal suite.There is a sauna and a spa for relaxing and rejuvenating. The hotel's restaurants and lounges will heighten the experience dining on first-class cuisine. Should you wish to explore, you are just minutes from the splendid architecture of this small Italian town.
North of the lake lies Villa Bellaria. Within the villa, there are several apartment-style rooms for rent. They come completely furnished with kitchens and bath facilities. The stunning views of the surrounding mountains make the short walk to the lake and beach all the more worth it. This accommodation is in a residential area of the town, so you will have a more authentic living experience with the local culture while on vacation. On your stroll to the beach stop at the Museo Civico housed within the Rocca, a lakefront castle; it is only a half-mile from the villa. Taste some of Northern Italy's finest cuisine at restaurants such as Ristorante Al Volt, Ristorante Mediterraneo and Ristorante Osteria Il Gallo.
In the heart of the town, Casa Francesca offers fully furnished apartments with bathrooms and kitchens for short-term rent. Operated by Francesca, herself, these apartments provide an up-close encounter with the people and local customs. You will be a short walk to the beach and lake, but should you wish to engage in the local nightlife, you will have a front row seat. The apartments are two blocks from Piazza III Novembre and Riva del Garda's famous Torre Apponale. The apartments are next to Hotel Alpino, which has a restaurant, if you don't feel like cooking.
