Houses for sale in Riva del Garda, Torbole and the Alto Garda
The houses for sale between Riva del Garda and Torbole sit at the northern end of the lake, where the water stops against the rock walls of Trentino. Riva has an old town of squares and arcades, a harbour and shops and offices open all year; Torbole, a little further on, lives on sailing, windsurfing and kiting.
This is the part of Lake Garda with the oddest climate: olive trees grow as far as Arco, minutes from the climbing crags and the mountain paths. What comes up for sale is apartments in the town-centre buildings, houses with a garden in Arco and Nago, and the occasional panoramic villa on the hillsides.
Olive trees at the shore, Dolomites behind
What to see
The old town of Riva and the Rocca standing in the water, Arco castle on top of its rock spur, the Varone waterfalls inside the mountain.
What to do
Sailing, windsurfing and kiting in Torbole, the Busatte-Tempesta path above the lake, the crags of Arco, the Garda cycle route.
Riva del Garda, Torbole and the Alto Garda: where people buy and what is on offer
Buying a house in Riva del Garda
Riva is the town of the area: 17,000 inhabitants, schools, shops and offices open in winter too. In the old town you buy apartments in period buildings; on the hills around, villas with a view and olive trees. Tourism keeps demand up all year.
Torbole, the destination for water sports
Torbole lives on sailing, windsurfing and kiting: the winds are steady and the village fills with sails. Property ranges from recent developments a few steps from the beach to two-room flats in the old village.
Compared with the Brescia shore there is less on the market here and houses sell quickly, so it pays to be told as soon as something comes up.

Are there special rules for buying in Trentino?
Trentino is an autonomous province with its own cadastre and land register of Austrian tradition: the notary records the property in the land register, which gives greater certainty on titles. Otherwise the Italian rules on taxes, mortgages and purchases by foreigners apply.
