Terme Riva del Garda

Terme Riva del Garda on the northern shore of Lake Garda, in the Trentino portion of the lake, offers a thermal experience of exceptional scenic beauty — soaking in bicarbonate-calcium mineral waters with direct views across Europe's largest lake to the mountains of Lombardy and the Venetian Prealps. The sulphurous springs from the Trentino hills are channelled into modern spa facilities that combine traditional thermal treatments with the full Mediterranean-Alpine ambience of Lake Garda's northern shore. The town of Riva del Garda, sheltered by dramatic limestone cliffs rising directly from the water, has attracted health-seeking visitors since the Austro-Hungarian era, when it was a resort for the empire's aristocracy. The olive groves, lemon trees and turquoise lake water create an almost impossibly beautiful thermal setting.
