01 · In a sentence

Villa Nicolli Romantic Resort in Riva del Garda, open JuneNovember.

Villa Nicolli sits directly on Lake Garda's shoreline, eliminating the common destination wedding challenge of travel time between ceremony and reception venues.

This 4-star hotel offers on-site accommodations for 150+ guests, meaning your wedding party can wake up together the morning after celebrations.

The property's waterfront position on Italy's largest lake provides both ceremony backdrops and guest amenities within one location.

This hotel is just lovely and not far from the city center. Buffet Breakfast offers a wide range of choices. The pool, spa, rooms and garden are well-maintained and super clean. There is also the possibility to hire e-bikes to go on the scenic bike route along the Lake. We had also a romantic dinner in the hotel restaurant which we strongly recommend.
