Roberto and his family are wonderful and generous hosts. Check in was easy and communication throughout our entire stay was fast and easy.
The apartment is large enough for 4-5 people. The Master bedroom offers a letto doppio (king size) and a twin pull out chair which was pretty comfortable for an adult. The living room offers a queen sized pull out sofa which was fairly comfortable. The living room/sleeping area is separated by waist hight storage cubicles which offers some privacy. The bathroom is brand new and sports the newest style with a large shower.
The kitchen offered basically everything you need to prep a simple meal. The best part of the place is definitely the terrazza - large enough for a big dining table and 4 large lounge chairs. The sun sail offers shade during the hot summer months. Our kids were welcomed to play in the very large and luscious garden - we even got some fresh veggies and herbs form the family garden. The garden is beautiful but beware of the mosquitos. The view from the terrazza: overlooking the garden and part of the village. You can not see the lake but get a nice view of the surrounding mountains.
From the apartment to the lake its about 10-15 minutes walk, downtown Riva 30-40 minutes. There is a tiny store close by where you can get bread, milk and a news paper. The next grocery store is about a 5 minutes with the car.
The car can be parked on the premises (entirely fenced in) and bikes can be stored indoors.
The internet was spotty on some days, but when it worked it worked very well.
There is no air-condition (2 fans are provided) but during our stay in late July the nights cooled down enough to offer a refreshing breeze.
The apartment is beautiful and sparkling clean with absolutely wonderful hosts. If you don't mind being outside of Riva or have a bike or a car than this is the place for you - quite and relaxing with a personal touch.
