Riva is such a great place to visit - so much to do with great food and wonderful sights. Chiara's place is the perfect spot to base yourself. It is on the top floor of a very old building but the apartment has been completely renovated so you enjoy the charm of the old town but with a modern apartment. It was very hot when we were there but we found the apartment to remain airy and cool. The beds are comfortable and the place was very clean. Chiara and her mother were very easy to contact but we didn't need a thing. We had a car and took advantage of their parking spot which I would recommend to anyone renting this apartment with a car. The location can't be beaten. It is close to all the restaurants, shops and water but on a quiet street so noise was never an issue. We would certainly rent again. Thanks!
