Riva del Sole Resort & SPA

Lovely seat. Beautiful beach and swimming pool. Although pool not heated water was not too cold to easily get in and swim some laps. Only negative was restaurant, which has only passable food and was expensive. Breakfast was good and generous.

I compare this to Italian East coast hotels (we stayed for three nights at San Benedetto del Tronto on the same trip), and what strikes me most is that Riva del Sole has a private well maintained beach where residents of hotel don't have to pay anything for sunbeds and umbrellas (opposed to 25 eauro per one sunbed per day in San Benedetto regardless of the fact that they call it "hotel's private beach"). Riva del Sole also has a big territory what feels to be in the middle of the forest. Their children't pool is really nice and surrounded by a circle of large pine trees providing shade all day long, there is also a nice large playground next to the pool. On the negative side, our room was a bit on the older side (I heard hotel has some modern recently rrnovated rooms, but those were all sold out at the time we booked). And hotel's staff speak very little English (I speak of front desk people in particular) - this was a bit strange for a hotel. Overall we had a really nice experience and will definitely recommend this hotel.

This is a beautiful property with the best staff one could hope to find. Our experience was one we will never forget for an unusual reason... My husband and I were both suffering from bronchitis, and I also have asthma, so we went to the on-site clinic. The nurse called in a doctor because of my additional condition, who arrived in less than two hours. He was thorough and prescribed treatments for both of us. Here’s one you never heard of the US—he went to the neighboring town, filled the prescriptions for us, and delivered them back to the clinic!! Dr. Aziri and Guliette , the clinic nurse, earned our heartfelt appreciation. The resort is its own village with multiple restaurants, pools, shops, a spa, and, of course, the clinic. You could not ask for more. The beach was closed due to storm damage, but was being restored while we were there and is now ready to enjoy again. This is a wonderful resort we hope to revisit in the future. HIGHLY recommend.
