A short stroll from the shores of Lake Garda and overlooking the 16th-century Bastione castle, this third-floor apartment is set within a historic building in the centre of Riva del Garda. The apartment offers an inviting open layout, with a well-equipped kitchen and breakfast bar for mealtimes, plus a comfortable seating area where you can relax at the end of the day. Elsewhere, the spacious bedroom guarantees a good night's sleep and the thoughtfully designed bathroom makes getting ready a breeze. Located on the dramatic northern end of the lake, surrounded by jagged mountain peaks, the elegant town is a picturesque place to while away the days strolling along the promenade or relaxing by the water's edge stretched out on one of several sprawling beaches. There's also plenty to keep adventurous types entertained, with stunning hikes through the countryside and sailing and windsurfing out on the lake. If the thought of getting out on the water appeals but you'd rather stay dry, then a boat trip to any of the neighbouring lake towns is a must, with each bringing something unique – from vineyards to bustling local markets and historic monuments, there's plenty to explore.
