Hotel Villa Miravalle
Riva | Lake Garda
⭐⭐⭐✨
Tucked just above Riva del Garda’s old town, Hotel Villa Miravalle is a characterful, family-run villa with leafy gardens, a small pool and views stretching towards Lake Garda’s dramatic northern peaks. Think frescoed ceilings, wrought-iron balconies and traditional Italian warmth, paired with modern comforts and a relaxed, bed-and-breakfast set-up that leaves you free to explore the lakefront, mountain trails and harbour-side cafés at your own pace.
Framed by cypress trees and mountain ridges, Hotel Villa Miravalle feels distinctly old-world Lake Garda: a salmon-hued villa with shuttered windows, ivy-draped walls and intimate terraces ideal for an aperitivo as the light fades over the lake. Inside, you’ll find traditional décor, polished wooden floors and a cosy bar, while outside a compact pool and manicured gardens offer a peaceful retreat a short stroll from Riva’s waterfront and buzzing piazzas.
For couples and relaxed explorers seeking Lake Garda’s charm, Hotel Villa Miravalle delivers the perfect balance of character and convenience. It’s around 2 hours 30 minutes from Verona airport. See more Italy holidays.

The lakeside promenade and harbour are a short walk away, with boat connections to other lakeside resorts and trails leading directly into the surrounding mountains.

Restaurants and Bars
Food is a highlight at Hotel Villa Miravalle, with two intimate à la carte options showcasing fresh, regional flavours.
Villa Miravalle Bistrot
A relaxed terrace spot open roughly from late March to late October, serving Italian and local dishes for lunch. It’s ideal for a light pasta, salad or sharing plates between sightseeing and lake swims.
Villetta Annessa
The hotel’s signature restaurant, set on a leafy terrace (with indoor back-up if the weather turns), opens for dinner and specialises in traditional Trentino and Lake Garda cuisine with show-cooking touches. Expect grilled meats, lake fish, risotti and a well-curated wine list.
Bars
A cosy Main Bar and a daytime snack bar serve drinks and light bites from late morning until the evening during the main season.
Smart-casual dress is appreciated (no beachwear), and reservations or supplements may apply depending on your board basis and the season. Menus and opening dates can vary, so check in resort for the latest details. What All Inclusive typically includes.
Pool Areas and Beach
The villa’s compact outdoor freshwater pool sits in the gardens, surrounded by sunbeds and greenery – a welcome cool-off after a day on the lake or hiking nearby trails. Pool towels are complimentary, and the pool generally operates from late March to the end of October, weather permitting.
There isn’t a private beach, but you’re less than a 15–20 minute walk (around 1.3km) from Riva’s lakeside bathing areas, where you can swim, hire pedalos or simply stretch out on the grass and shingle shorelines with mountain views all around.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
This is a simple, characterful base rather than a full-scale resort, so facilities are focused on comfort and atmosphere rather than big sports complexes.
On site you’ll find:
• Leafy gardens and sun terrace areas
• Lounge and bar with indoor seating
• Concierge-style reception (approx. 14 hours per day)
• Luggage storage
Riva del Garda itself is a hub for outdoor adventures – from lakeside walks and cycling to windsurfing, sailing and mountain hiking – all easily arranged locally through specialist providers.
