Summary of reviewsVilla Riva is highly praised for its enviable location, offering beautiful and convenient access to the serene harbor and stunning sea views. Nestled right by the beach, guests can enjoy crystal-clear waters just steps from their accommodation. The idyllic and peaceful ambiance makes it a perfect destination for romantic getaways and tranquil escapes with nearby cafes, bars, restaurants and a charming garden with grill facilities. Despite undergoing minor renovations, the prime location and friendly, helpful staff ensure a high level of satisfaction among guests seeking relaxation and coastal activities.
The on-site dining experience at Villa Riva is exceptional, featuring a range of fish and seafood dishes, including the highly recommended grilled calamari, all enjoyed on a picturesque terrace with bay views. The hotel’s restaurant adds to the variety without compromising quality or affordability. The proximity to several great restaurants and an excellent gelateria next door enriches the culinary experience, although breakfast options at the hotel are limited and often inconsistent.
Accommodations at Villa Riva include small but functional standard rooms and spacious, clean apartments that are particularly appreciated by families. Rooms with balconies offer outstanding port views and amenities such as fridges and coffee makers enhance convenience. However, there are mixed reviews about the comfort of the beds and some inconsistencies in cleanliness and maintenance.
Cleanliness appears to be a weak point with several reports of dust, dirty floors and poorly maintained facilities. However, the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff shine through with guests consistently praising the warm welcome, courteous service and efficient handling of requests. Specific mentions of standout staff members like Ivana and personal touches from the chef highlight the exceptional hospitality.
For beach enthusiasts, Villa Riva's prime location right on the beach cannot be beaten with easy access to lovely pebble and rock beaches. Although dog-friendly features are not a prominent focus, pet owners can bring their dogs for a fee of €10, even though specific amenities for pets are not highlighted.
Overall, Villa Riva offers a picturesque and relaxing retreat with exceptional dining, friendly service and an excellent location for coastal adventures, though some areas, particularly cleanliness and bed comfort, could benefit from improvements.
