Residence Vecchio Porto Excelsior, Riva Del Garda Overview
Residence Vecchio Porto Excelsior is located in Riva Del Garda, Italy. Rated 7.0 out of 10 based on 2 guest reviews.
Residence Vecchio Porto Excelsior in Riva del Garda, Italy, is a practical base for travelers who want Lake Garda outdoors without giving up apartment-style independence. Located at Via Gargnano 4, it suits guests who like being close enough to town for an evening out, yet still able to step into the area’s hiking and water activities quickly. The property’s seasonal outdoor pool and terrace are handy for downtime between excursions, and the garden setting gives you a calmer moment after a day on the lake. Free WiFi helps if you’re planning routes or checking schedules for sailing, kayaking, or scuba diving nearby.
Guest feedback is limited but points to a mixed, 7/10 overall impression based on 2 reviews, so it’s worth aligning expectations with a quieter, residential stay rather than a high-volume hotel experience. Families and pet owners are specifically catered for, which can make day-to-day logistics easier when traveling with children or bringing a dog. If you’re arriving by car, street parking is available, which can matter in busy lakeside seasons.
In terms of what you can do nearby, Riva del Garda’s lakeside promenade and central sights like Piazza III Novembre are within a short ride, while Monte Brione is a go-to area for walking and biking at roughly 5 km. For a classic day trip, Varone Waterfall is about 10 km away, and Limone sul Garda sits around 26 km from the property for a change of scenery. Best for families and pet-friendly travelers who value outdoor access, a relaxed pool-and-garden rhythm, and the flexibility to plan their own days around Lake Garda.
