About Riva Living
“Riva” is Italian for shore: the place you reach after a crossing. It is where a new city starts to feel like home.
Why we exist
Housing is hard to find in Swiss cities. Deposits run to three months, flats come empty, and most listings are in German only. We rent furnished rooms in shared homes, with the price and the terms written plainly, so that starting a new chapter in a city takes weeks instead of months.
- Purpose
- Make starting a new chapter in a city easier.
- Mission
- Furnished rooms, well-run shared homes and a clear process to find, view and move in, run by a team that answers quickly and keeps every home in good shape.
- Vision
- Become the leading brand for furnished rooms and shared homes in Switzerland's main cities.

Anyone beginning a new chapter in a city, across town, across the country or across a border. Students, people starting a job, and people arriving in Switzerland for the first time.
What we promise
A furnished room, transparent pricing, and a clear process from viewing to move-in.
