Locanda Restel de Fer

A renovated historic guesthouse in Riva del Garda with modern rooms, a garden for breakfast, a bike garage and a welcome for dogs.

Why people love it

• The owners and staff. Guests say the owner greeted them with coffee and cookies on early arrival and gave tips for activities, and others thank staff for cold drinks after cycling in heat.
• Breakfast. Reviews describe homemade items and fresh local options, served in a secluded garden.
• Renovated rooms. Guests say the rooms are new, spotlessly clean and air-conditioned with large bathrooms. One praises the whirlpool room.
• Dogs and cyclists. Guests with dogs in April and September 2026 felt welcomed. A bike garage is a plus for cyclists.

Why they come back

"This is my second time staying at this hotel and I will definitely be back."

The worst thing guests say

One guest in September 2026 gave 1 star, saying the hotel is dog-friendly only in advertising. This contrasts with other guests that month who praised the welcome for dogs. An August 2026 guest left with mixed feelings about service, though they said the rooms were new and very clean. One September 2026 guest said it is a little far from the centre.

Insider tips

• If you travel with a dog, confirm the dog policy and any limits before booking.
• There is a bike garage.
• Arriving early? Guests were still welcomed with coffee.
