Being a long-time traveler and now travel blogger, I’ve stayed in a lot of hostels, hotels, and rental flats. Over time, they all become a bit of a blur with none really standing out more than another. But now there’s a certain hotel, that I can’t get out of my mind. It’s beautiful, peaceful and inviting. One night there was not enough and I found myself yearning to return. Maybe it’s because I like pretty things, romantic places, and being treated like a princess. And who doesn’t like that?
So which hotel was able to capture my heart? Hotel Rivalago in Sulzano, Italy which rests on the shores of Lake Iseo.
Hotel Rivalago In Sulzano Italy Is All About Romance
A small family-run hotel, it’s neither too large nor too small. You immediately feel at home when you’re welcomed by the friendly and courteous staff at their small front desk. There’s also a cozy lounge area where you can eat a meal, use the Internet, and borrow a book from their little library. Had I more time there, I would have curled up in a chair and read for a while.

Glimpsing Into One Of The Rooms
My room was tastefully decorated with neutral tones and pastel colors. It was feminine, chic, and accented nicely with cute throw pillows and a patterned chair. I especially loved the soft white terry cloth robe, which I wore while standing on my terrace drinking prosecco. Yes indeed, life was good at that exact moment.
A Stunning View Over Lake Iseo
Then there were those unforgettable views of Lake Iseo from my terrace. Can you now see why it was so tough to leave Hotel Rivalago?
The Outdoor Pool and Dining Area
As if the inside wasn’t lovely enough, the outdoor eating and pool areas were stunning. Imagine having breakfast here while watching the early morning sunrise!
Hotel Rivalago is perfect for someone (like me or you!) looking for solitude and inspiration, a couple wanting a romantic getaway, or discerning travelers looking for a refined hotel experience in Lake Iseo.
