Relax on the tranquil shores of Lake Garda, the largest of the Italian Lakes, where you'll be captivated by the idyllic scenery of charming Italian villages and towns gracing its shoreline. The gentle waves caress the pebbly shores, while the majestic Dolomite mountains provide a stunning natural backdrop, creating a scene straight from a postcard.
Our base is in Riva del Garda, a highly popular resort nestled at the northern tip of the lake, offering unparalleled vistas. Its enchanting Old Town revolves around a 12th-century fortress and a historic clock tower, featuring a labyrinth of winding alleys adorned with inviting boutiques and sidewalk cafes, ideal for leisurely people-watching.
We'll also unveil some of the region's most delightful destinations, including the immensely picturesque Sirmione and the ancient Roman city of Verona, forever associated with Shakespeare's timeless love story, Romeo and Juliet. Furthermore, there's the opportunity to discover the unique and charming Dolomite region, known for its breathtaking alpine landscapes and outdoor adventures.
A popular hotel with Arvonia customers for many years, the excellent Savoy Palace is conveniently located in a quiet position just a short walk from the historic centre of Riva and the lake. All bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning, television, radio, telephone, Wi-Fi, hairdryer, safe and mini bar.
