Hotel Rivalago - Sulzano

Excellent hotel with staff who are really helpful and go out of there way to make your holiday a good experience. The rooms are great and the hotel is kept in immaculate condition by the owner and his staff. We really could not find any fault with the hotel or the staff and would throughly recommend this hotel.

A really delightful and relaxing hotel. The lakeside situation is superb. The staff are very helpful, knowledgeable and discreet.

Great location, right in front of the lake. Excellent quality of the service and the courtesy of the whole staff. Everything clean and perfect. We appreciated so much the breakfast in the garden.

They only problem was the lack of variation regarding the few local restaraunts

A beautiful location and very friendly,helpful staff.

The hotel is nicely situated, but it is lacking a restaurant and also in the town there is not much. I expected a bit more for 4* hotel.

The owners Antonella and Gianluca were lovely and welcoming as were all the staff. The hotel is beautiful and very close to the Sulzano ferry service. We had great dinners at the hotel nearby called Hotel Aquila. The lake fish in particular were very good local dishes. This is great hotel for a relaxing holiday (lake swimming and dips in the pool), as a base for an activity filled holiday (hiking, cycling, canoeing) or for those who fancy exploring Monte Isola and the others towns around the lake. Not really ideal for people who are mainly interested in clubbing and a wild night life.

Highly competent, friendly and discreet staff members who are just around but do not impose themselves, i.e are not overactive and do not pamper you unless you ask for their help. The dynamic staff members blend into the picture, i.e. are not disguised as "servants", but welcome you with a warm hearted smile as your personal hosts. Cosy, natural, relaxed, casual and still stylish and soigné atmosphere all over the place with a touch of exquisite dolce-far-niente. We liked the bar with free internet access and the comprenhensive multilingual library (E/G/F/I) in a beautifully restored cupboard. All furniture seems to have been carefully selected and restored to create that special "Provence" vintage feeling and is still very airy and light in combination with modern elements; we also liked the stunning staircase light design. You just feel free at any moment to unwind and feel at home. Very clean, functional, state of the art and unpompous. Thank you so much!

One of the nicest hotels we have stayed at. Spotless throughout, with pleasant and helpful staff, and we felt it fully deserves its rating.

Hotel Riva Lago on Lake Iseo is a small hotel right at the lakes edge that we have nothing but postive thoughts about and will dream about in the coming months. Antonella and her staff were responsive to every request from the moment I made reservations 11 months in advance and thoughtout our stay. The Junior suites are fabulous with your own spacious deck, the bathrooms were far beyond the best of any on our trip, the breakfasts were superior, an evening cruise on the lake run by the hotel is a memory to cherish. Everthing has been redone of late and the photo's do not do it full justice. Lake Iseo is a part of Italy that has not been discovered by Americans and I hope it stays that way. We never met any other Americans during our stay. As we were leaving on an early train Antonella had breakfast awaiting us in the lobby before we left. We cannot wait to return and make our stay even longer.

Beautiful hotel on a picturesque lake. Excellent amenities and service. Friendly and competent staff. Very enjoyable time in Sulzano.

Quite one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. From value for money, location , comfort and decor to the helpfulness of the owners and all the staff this hotel is outstanding. Breakfast was good as well with varieties of local produce and the view of the lake sitting outside was exceptional. I will be returning to this hotel soon. Sulzano itself although quite small is a perfect location to explore Lake Iseo. The ferry stop is 2 mins from the hotel and there is a ferry every 15mins to Monte Isola. The restaurant Il Cacciatore is exceptional and is only 5 mins walk from the hotel - but avoid Milano a fish restaurant on Monte Isola quite the worst I have experienced in italy.

The hotel itself was excellent. Very clean, comfortable and staff were very helpful. Breakfast was superb. Position i.e scenery was stunning. It was very hot and an ice machine would have been appreciated! We did have a slight problem locating the hotel and there is a problem with parking. There are not enough spaces for customers to park and for the whole week we had to use the extra parking which was available. This was fine but it was a steep, approximately 400 metre walk, up the road opposite the hotel. For young children or less able visitors this is a definate problem! The location of the hotel was very convenient for taking boats across the lake or the ferry to Monte Isola island where there were some nice restaurants. On the whole we would highly recommend this hotel.

Beautiful hotel and situation beside the lake is wonderful. Worth going for a lake view room.

We spent a weekend there for our anniversary & everything exceeded what was already a high level of expectation from reading other reviews

Nicely situated lake-side Lago d'Iseo. Magnificent view from breakfast room. Decent breakfast (by Italian standards). Absolutely quiet. Space in my room (nr.111) was a bit restrained though. Don't miss Monte Isola in the middle of the lake (10 minutes by ferry boat).

Very nice hotel for short stay business or a longer one for holidays

This hotel would be hard to match. The attention to detail is perfect. Owners, Gianluca and Antonella, make you feel very relaxed, in a very comfortable and welcoming environment, along with very competent staff. We are looking forward to coming here again some time, and would recommend this beautiful place to anyone looking for a first class stay in this beautiful part of Italy. It was a very fitting and memorable way for us to spend our 25th wedding anniversary.

It was my first stay at RivaLago and it was excellent!
