A suite and garden to make your own

Vivere’s appeal begins at your door: a private garden, somewhere comfortable to sit and large windows that bring the outdoors into the room. Low contemporary buildings sit among the agricultural land around Arco, with the mountains of northern Garda beyond.

There are just six suites, each with an independent entrance. The family produces olive oil and Merlot, and the setting feels closely connected to the surrounding countryside. Breakfast is taken care of; four suites add a kitchenette for simple meals at your own pace.

We particularly like Vivere for couples who enjoy architecture, cycling and walking, but also want afternoons with a book and a swim. It is an inland retreat: visits to the lake are part of the day’s plans, while privacy and outdoor space are the reasons to stay here.

Our starting point: four to seven nights, with a car for wider exploring and enough time left free for the garden and pool.

Planning your stay

Is Vivere right for you?

Best for

Independent couples

Design, privacy and outdoor space take priority here. Small families can be accommodated in selected suites, depending on dates and availability; we match these enquiries individually.

Atmosphere

Contemporary countryside living

Six suites, private gardens and a shared pool make for an intimate stay. Enjoy the agricultural setting and choose your own balance of activity and rest.

Transport

A car adds freedom

Free guest parking makes Vivere a practical self-drive choice. A stay with transfers and local cycling can also work with outings and dinner arrangements planned together.

Stay length

Give yourself time to settle

Four to seven nights allow for Arco, lake outings and days closer to the hotel. Six nights work particularly well after a shorter stay in Borghetto.

Rooms and suites

Choose the garden and the way you want to stay

All six suites have a private entrance and garden. The South and Corner Suites have kitchenettes; the two Junior Suites do not.

Our first choice for privacy

Corner Suite · 55 m²

The most spacious suite, with a king-size bedroom, a sitting room and an equipped kitchenette. Its patio opens onto a private garden of around 100 m² with direct access to the olive grove. Choose it for space to spend time together indoors and out; separate entrances connect towards the parking area and pool.

For a kitchenette and pool outlook

South Suite · 50 m²

A king-size bedroom and living room can be separated by a sliding door. The kitchenette makes a longer stay easy, while the garden faces the shared pool. Two sofa beds in the sitting room allow accommodation for up to four, subject to the hotel’s family availability for your dates.

For a large garden without a kitchen

Studio Junior Suite · 40 m²

Bedroom and sitting space, a walk-in shower and a garden of more than 100 m² opening towards the olive grove. A good choice when generous outdoor space matters more than cooking facilities. The bedroom and living area are separated by a sliding door.

For a couple’s stay

Romantic Junior Suite · 37 m²

A king-size four-poster bed is the centrepiece, with large windows and a private garden opening towards the olive grove. Choose it for its bedroom design and outdoor sitting space. Like the Studio Junior Suite, it has no kitchenette.

Tell us if you need twin beds, extra sleeping space or particular access arrangements, so we can check the individual suite before recommending it.

Life at Vivere

Breakfast, garden time and evenings at your own pace

Morning

Breakfast by the pool

Breakfast is included, served on the pool-facing veranda or in the living room in cooler weather. Local produce and ingredients from the kitchen garden suit the setting and give the day an unhurried start.

Through the day

Swim, read or book a treatment

The outdoor pool is shared by the six suites. Private gardens give you somewhere of your own to retreat to, while yoga sessions and wellness treatments can be arranged by reservation.

Evening

Your kitchenette or a table out

There is no restaurant on site. The family’s Pizzeria Centrale is a few hundred metres away, and Arco adds further dining choices. The honesty bar includes the family’s Merlot alongside other wines; South and Corner guests also have the option of a simple meal in.

Location and logistics

Arco, the Sarca Valley and northern Garda

Vivere is on Via Epifanio Gobbi in the countryside around Arco, approximately 5 km from Lake Garda according to the hotel. Explore Arco’s streets, plan a walk up towards the castle or head to Riva del Garda and Torbole for time by the water.

City bikes are available at the property, with cycling and walking among the main pleasures of the area. We choose routes around the distances and gradients you enjoy; climbing and more demanding mountain activities can be arranged with suitable local guides.

Arrive by road, explore at your own pace

A car is our recommendation for varied excursions and restaurant evenings, with free parking at Vivere. If arriving by rail, continue from a suitable station by road transfer. A car-free stay works best with a local focus, cycling and selected arranged outings.

For a boat day, first travel to a lakeside departure point such as Riva and plan around the seasonal timetable. Vivere is inland rather than a ferry-side base.

Hotel location

Vivere Suites & Rooms, near Arco

Where it fits

Two small hotels, two different settings

Borghetto and Vivere. Pair Borghetto and Valeggio sul Mincio with Vivere for village dining, riverside gardens and a change of landscape in northern Garda. We particularly like La Finestra sul Fiume for the first stay: four nights by the Mincio followed by six at Vivere make a well-paced ten-night self-drive holiday. The move between hotels is by road, with a car useful for exploring from both bases.

Verona and Vivere. Begin in Verona for art, historic streets and restaurant evenings, then move north for walking, cycling and pool time. Enjoy the city on foot before collecting a hire car, or use rail towards Rovereto followed by an arranged road transfer.

Alta Badia and Vivere. For active couples, Alta Badia adds Ladin villages, mountain food and summer or early-autumn walks. Connect the two stays by car or private transfer, allowing a proper travel day and choosing dates around mountain lift and hotel opening periods.

These are alternative overnight combinations. Two bases are a good starting point for ten to fourteen nights; there is no need to include every place. For a longer journey, our Venice, Alta Badia and Arco itinerary shows how a city stage can fit before the mountains and Vivere.
