Atmosphere, Lights, and... Grinch! Experience the Magic of the Christmas Markets at Restel de Fer

Atmosphere, Lights, and... Grinch! Experience the Magic of the Christmas Markets at Restel de Fer

December and January are festive in Riva del Garda, and Locanda Restel de Fer is the perfect base for immersing yourself in the magic of the Alto Garda Christmas Markets and beyond!

Stay with us and prepare for an unforgettable tour, between the lively lakeside and the authenticity of Trentino villages.
 

Your Christmas itinerary has never been so complete:
 

  • Riva del Garda: Markets in the center, with crafts and flavors, and the unmissable Santa Claus House in the historic Rocca.

  • Enchanted Villages: Easily reachable, the unique atmospheres of Canale di Tenno , the spectacular village of Rango and the Viennese Christmas Market of Arco await you.
     

This year too, the magic is double (and a little cheeky!):
 

While the kids dream among the brightly lit houses, you can enjoy a bittersweet smile (and a delicious mulled wine) by seeking out the real local attraction: the sly Grinch House on the charming Bastion! Perfect for those who prefer a touch of irony to excessive Christmas spirit. 😉
 

After a full day of markets, tastings, and scenic hikes, let yourself be pampered by our warm hospitality.
 

Your Perfect Winter Awaits You:
 

  • Strategic location for visiting Riva, Arco, Tenno, and Rango.

  • Breakfasts with homemade desserts for a sweet awakening.

  • A welcoming and relaxing atmosphere to recharge your batteries.
     

Don't miss out (or Christmas!): book your winter stay now and discover all the markets! (Link to booking page/offer details)

SuperB deal hotel A family of 4 with 13,15 girls We got an amazing fun duplex Very comfortable, high tech Amazing helpful staff - they make the stay perfect (Michael is a pro - he knows how to help you plan your attractions and hikes or fun perfectly, and everyone are just professional and super friendly both in reception and the amazing breakfast team) Breakfast is excellent- tasty and with nice variety, and again amazing stuff. And a sweet garden to seat in and dine. Fun free bicycles in the hotel (only 5 but in good shape) Hotel is 5 minutes walk from the lake and many restaurants All and all - we enjoyed and highly recommend Gracie Mille from the Brothers family
