Riva Lake Garda

Riva The town of Riva del Garda is set in the north shore of Lake Garda and, with its 16.874 inhabitants, is the most important center of the region Trentino-Lake Garda. It is part of a whole that makes the locality enchanting: it borders westwards with the Monte Rocchetta and eastwards, the Monte Brione (2218 m) protects it. The so-called "Pearl of Lake Garda" is a Mediterranean oasis at the feet of the Dolomites, with a mild climate and a vegetation made of lemon trees, palms, olive trees and laurels. The white gravel beaches, the light blue water and the fresh breeze give the town a particular charm.
