We spent three nights at the Hotel Riviera Garni. It is a small, family-run hotel right in the centre of Gargnano and it is simply one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Others are more luxurious or have more extensive facilities but here everything came together to create a memorable and thoroughly enjoyable visit I would certainly try to stay here again if I returned to Gargnano; I might even return to Gargnano in order to stay at this hotel. Things looked promising even before we arrived. A brief exchange of messages with Edoardo, the proprietor, suggested that we would get a warm welcome, which turned out to be the case. All the basics were taken care of to a very high level. Our room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. The shower worked well and there was plenty of room in the bathroom. The lighting was good and there were plenty of electric sockets. WiFi was good and the signal strong. Then newly installed air conditioning worked well and there was a ceiling fan as well. The room included a safe - very useful. There was a lift to the third floor. We had not booked breakfast in the hotel but decided to have it on our first morning. It was a very high quality and we decided immediately to have breakfast on our remaining days. It is served an a first-floor terrace at the back of the hotel with a beautiful view over the lake. The furniture in the hotel is largely of good quality and traditional rather than modern and functional. The hotel was full of interesting art including old prints of Gargnano, modern paintings and interesting artefacts. Edoardo was also eager to tell us about them. He also talked about the town and recommended some restaurants. He was happy to let me try out my limited Italian but spoke excellent English too (and I heard him speaking German with guests as well). He was rightly proud of his hotel. His parents were present and served breakfast. They spoke less English but were very welcoming. The family feel of the hotel made a big difference. We felt like guests rather than customers. The hotel is located on the quiet main street of Gargnano, just a few minutes' stroll from the bus stop where we arrived. There is an excellent butcher's shop next door where you can buy sandwiches for lunch, and a bakery opposite. the town beach is a short walk away; we spent a lot of time enjoying dips in the lake there. I understand that the authorities who allocate ratings for visitor accommodation have set criteria for awarding stars. Perhaps the fact that the reception is closed after 8pm is one of the reasons the Riviera has only two stars, but if I were to allocate stars on the basis of my personal experience it would have five stars at least.

It is hard to recommend the Hotel Garni Riviera enough. I hope to return

Copied from my longer review on TripAdvisor: We spent three nights at this small, family-run hotel right in the centre of Gargnano which deserves more than its two stars. All the basics were taken care of to a very high level. Our room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. The shower worked well and there was plenty of room in the bathroom. The lighting was good and there were plenty of electric sockets. WiFi was good and the signal strong. Then newly installed air conditioning worked well and there was a ceiling fan as well.
