What a wonderful spot. The town is lovely. The apartment is fantastic. There’s so much to do in Riva hiking and via ferrata, biking to kiting, to just walking around town. It’s a great place to spend some time. And I can’t imagine a better base than Alessandro and Tiziana’s apartment.
It was larger than we expected, super comfortable, and well appointed. We largely ate out because we were in Italy, but it was great to be able to cook if we wanted—the kitchen had everything we needed, even a dishwasher. It was also very nice to be able to do laundry. And the location was perfect—right in the middle of the old town, steps from the lake, easily walkable to a bunch of good hikes. Restaurants, groceries, and everything else were just out the door.
But the best part was getting to meet Alessandro and Tiziana. They went beyond beyond to make our visit special. They are so kind and welcoming, I really don’t have the words to describe it. Other reviewers have mentioned how great they are as well, it was a big part of why we chose to stay with them. We couldn’t be happier that we did. Their recommendations were all amazing and they were so available and responsive to any questions we might have. Plus they helped us find free parking, which saved us a bunch of money—it was like a built-in bonus gelato budget!
And they are just very kind and friendly people. We came as guests, but left as friends. And our trip was all the more special for it. Grazie Alessandro e Tiziana!
