The hotel is like a page from the history books! So unique and rich with character. The woman at the front desk was so friendly and incredibly helpful in pointing us in the direction of so many interesting and beautiful sites. It’s out of the main town area but easily accessible by taxi and the view is spectacular and worth the drive. staff were gracious and welcoming.

This hotel has the most amazing views. We had the family suite which was spacious and great for our family. The restaurant was good for dinner. I would contact the hotel before you arrive to find the best way up the hill. Our navigation took us up the steepest, narrowest way and it was a bit harrowing.

Old World Charm

I can’t say enough about the kind, accommodating and wonderful people that keep this place in excellent condition. The food is delicious, but make a reservation for a spectacular view. It’s an old world charm kinda vibe.. If you are looking for a place to chill & relax - I highly recommend this lil dive..!

A bit off the beaten path but the views were stunning, the room was spacious, the service was outstanding, and breakfast was solid too. Yes this is an older property that could use a refresh, but for the money it can’t be beat. Note the map on Apple didn’t take us all the way to the property but there are signs along the way so keep driving - gated entry to parking right off the street near the top of the hill - can’t miss it.

4 night stay

Service was good, be mindful this hotel is at the top of what is essentially a mountain. The drive up and down is actually scary to the point of wanting to avoid coming and going from the hotel. However There are no shops or restaurants within walking distance of the hotel therefore it can feel a bit isolating. Taxis are £25 euro each way into the local town. The food and drinks at the hotel is expensive and you will be charged 5 euro for a bottle of water which seems crazy and roughly 8/9 euros for a class of wine. The breakfast was lovely, lots of options and service was very good. The main attraction to this hotel is the view which is stunning. The pool area is also very nice and clean. It is overall pretty expensive but you are paying for the view. It is a family run establishment and the staff are always friendly and accommodating. We read the previous comments about the drive up to the hotel before booking but really could not appreciate just how unpleasant this was until we had to do it ourselves and how restrictive it made our stay. Overall nice hotel if you can stomach the drive. Pretty expensive. The mattress was also pretty hard and uncomfortable but got used to it after a few nights.

Very pleasant stay

We had a very pleasant stay at La Riserva. We stayed there for 10 days. The view at the breakfast terrace is really magnificent. The rooms were clean and nice. Staff very welcoming and friendly all the time. Only minor things to complain about, which are really not worth mentioning.

the property offers stunning views of the coastline. the access road is down right dangerous and narrow. the staff was extremely nice, in season, this hotel outdoor dining must be amazing, food was good, breakfast buffet was great. The hotel could use a fresh coat of paint and some renovations, it looks a little rundown in places (grounds)and some areas of the hotel seem to be condemned. overall, we enjoyed the view and calmness of the place, the graciousness of the staff and the amazing views.

The only negative for us was the drive up to the hotel. The road was windy, steep and slim. This made the hotel a bit further from town than we would have liked, but nothing that was a huge deal for us (Just a note if you planned to venture into town). The hotel & staff make up for that minor inconvenience.

Koselig men litt dyrt

Koselig hotell, selv om det merkes at det er noen år gammelt. Litt upraktisk om man ikke har bil da taxi er vanskelig å finne og veien er dårlig. God service. Bassenget er fint. Mat og drikke er i overkant dyrt. Maten er god, men utvalget kunne vært litt bredere.

Verdensklasse udsigt, skøn pool og god service

Skønt beliggende klassisk hotel med imødekommende, charmerende og hjælpsom personale. Vi nød særligt den bjergtagende udsigt samt dejlige pool. Restauranten serverer god mad og er besøg værd. Et andet highlight er betjeningen til morgenmaden. Værd opmærksom på, at hotellet er lidt slidt - dog på en autentisk måde samt køreturen de sidste kilometer på små veje. Anbefalinger herfra.

En perle

Charmerende, hyggeligt, autentisk. Fantastisk udsigt, dog lidt lille, smal vej op til hotellet, men det vænner man sig til. Virkelig søde mennesker og alt hvad man har behov for på en afslappede ferie. Perfekt poolområde, god restaurant og morgenmad. Nemt at tage på dagsture fx til Menton og Monaco og flotte strande under 10 min væk.
