Located 1.6km outside Riva, the Angelica is classified as one of Lake Garda’s historic villas with antecedents in the 14th century. Inside, the handsome apartments sleeping up to four seem almost too good to be true. Unlike other villas, the place is family-run and the owners are happy to share the house’s history.
Lucky guests get to wander the five-hectare English-style garden like Franz Kafka did when he came to stay, although he wouldn't have had access to the alfresco pool, sauna and free bike rental.
