Alla Riva

Alla Riva Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Alla Riva along the Lungadige Attiraglio, you immediately understand why this four-star hotel has such devoted fans. The building sits right on Verona‘s riverbank in the quiet Borgo Trento neighborhood, and honestly, the location feels almost too good to be true. You’re close enough to hear the Adige River flowing by, but far enough from the tourist crowds that you can actually relax.

The Borgo Trento Advantage

Here’s what I love about staying in this part of Verona — you get that authentic Italian residential feel without sacrificing accessibility. The Borgo Trento area is where locals actually live, so you’ll find genuine trattorias and cafes mixed in with the usual tourist spots. It’s maybe a 15-minute walk to Juliet’s balcony and the main piazzas, but you know what? That distance is actually perfect when you want to escape back to somewhere peaceful.

Your Room and the River Views

The rooms here aren’t huge, but they’re thoughtfully designed with that clean, modern Italian aesthetic that somehow feels both sophisticated and comfortable. What really sets this place apart is how many rooms face the river — and I mean, you can literally watch the water flow by from your window. The room I stayed in had this lovely little seating area where I’d drink my morning coffee and plan out the day ahead.

Practical Perks That Matter

Let me tell you about the parking situation, because if you’re driving in Italy, this is huge. Alla Riva offers free private parking right on site, which is honestly a game-changer in a city like Verona where finding a spot can be a nightmare. The staff is genuinely helpful too — not in that overly formal hotel way, but more like they actually want you to enjoy your stay. They’ll give you real recommendations for places to eat, not just the obvious tourist traps.

Why Guests Love It

The 9.7 rating isn’t just numbers on a screen — you feel it the moment you arrive. Couples especially seem drawn to this place, and I get it completely. There’s something romantic about being right on the river, away from the chaos but still connected to everything that makes Verona special. The combination of that prime riverside location, the free parking, and the genuinely warm service creates this perfect little haven. You’re not just staying in Verona; you’re living in it, even if it’s just for a few days.
