Sleep well and then fly

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Oct 14, 2024
Very nice and quiet 3-star hotel on Lago Varese. Comfortable room and bed, large bathroom, nice staff.
The highlight though is the restaurant, delicious food and drink.
Good place to have a rest before a longhaul flight from Milano Malpensa.

We visited hotel and restaurant 6th of august 2021. The hotel room was clean and nice. We could not use terrace. We reserved table also for dinner in restaurant outside area not far from the Varese lake. On a scale of 1-10: Food was 4. Service was 3. I waited for cheque 1 hour and still had to ask again for opportunity to pay.

We stayed at Vecchia Riva 4 nights with teenager kids in two connected rooms. Hotel located near lake and we had fabulous lake view. Rooms big, nice decorated and modern. Big shower in the bathrooms.
Hotel guests can go free of charge to public swimming pool and for small fee to fitness located nearby.
Hotel staff all very nice and helpful. Breakfast adequate.
Is was a lot of mosquito , but we were provided with special electronic device to move them out .
We didn't have a dinner at hotel restaurant, but it is very busy in the evenings, which is good sign.
Varese nice town and Sacro Monte Di Varese must be visited .
We definitely will come back to this hotel for the long stay in the future .

Room tip: Lake view room has fabulous views , but noisy in the evening because of the restaurant. Ask high floor .

The hotel is modern and fairly large, spacious and clean. It's conveniently located for those travelling by public transport from the centre of town, with a bus stop a few hundred metres away. It is just metres from the lake, the park and the start of the bike track round the lake. You can hire a bike at the hotel for just 10 euros for the day. The restaurant is light and modern with an excellent buffet breakfast and anti pasto buffet for dinner as well as a la crate menu. My room featured a balcony with wonderful views of the sunset over the lake and the shower was great. Oddly, there were no drawers in the bedroom, just a large wardrobe. All the staff were friendly and helpful.
