A really lovely location, the four star Hotel Antico Borgo is in Riva del Garda’s atmospheric historic centre on a pedestrianised cobbled street lined with tasteful boutiques and tiny restaurants, yet less than five minutes’ walk from the lake itself. A really lovely conversion from two townhouses it emanates old-world ambience and recently renovated to a very high standard, the spacious welcoming reception and bar area offers comfortable seating and just off this is the restaurant. The rooms themselves are of course, modern with the simple yet imaginative decoration at which the Italian’s excel so well. The roof top terrace offers really spectacular views across terracotta roof tops and the church spire over the lake to the mountains beyond and with no modern development to ‘blot’ the view, this is picture postcard standard.
