The family vineyard is situated in Ardenno, at the beginning of the DOC - zone of Valtellina Valley. The Hotel Riviera is officially classified as a 3-star hotel within Melide by the Ente Alberghiero Svizzero.

“The hotel's lakeside location is superb, granting easy access to scenic walking paths, while the family-run atmosphere creates a welcoming environment; I particularly appreciate the complimentary pedal boats available for guests. Rooms facing the lake offer exceptional views, and the combination of homemade cuisine and a private beach makes it a relaxing retreat, in my opinion. This is a great choice for families seeking a comfortable and scenic getaway in Melide.”
