About Riva del Garda

Picturesque Riva lies on the northern shores ofLake Gardaat the foot of Mt. Brione. Since the second half of the 19th century the town became popular with European royalty and American billionaires. Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary Francesco Ferdinando, Russian Great Duchess Olga Alexandrova and American businessman Alfred Vanderbilt I, were frequent visitors to this charming lakeside town. Lavish buildings surrounded by evergreen parks were constructed to accommodate and entertain Riva's distinguished guests. The majority of visitors are still of German and Russian nationality.
