Gabry in Riva del Garda, open June–November.
Gabry sits directly on the shoreline of Lake Garda, where Alpine peaks rise sharply behind terraced gardens and the water stretches toward distant mountains.
This lakefront hotel commands 180-degree views of Italy's largest lake, with rooms positioned to capture sunrise light across the water.
The setting combines dramatic elevation changes—the hotel perches above the waterline—with immediate access to Riva del Garda's historic town center, just steps away.
Nice hotel with a swimming pool, beautiful view from the balcony, and included parking. The staff was friendly and even provided a welcome drink of your choice (we chose Aperol 😋) along with focaccia. Although the lobby and rooms weren’t overly luxurious, the hotel breakfast was one of the best I’ve ever had. 🩷
