It's the perfect stay. Facilities were complete and super clean. Room was spacious, well organised, all items you need for a long stay with family, washing machine, dishwasher, big fridge, iron and iron board, hairdryer, bathroom with shower and bath, microwave, tv, wifi, private parking space, swimming pool, right in front of the promenade. To enter, you receive a code to open the door. If the staff members are gone (they are usually not there in the afternoon), you can find your room keys in the envelopes by the desk with your name on and all instructions you need. It's contactless, but functional and it works for us. They even had a first aid kit and a fire blanket in the room, plus a safe. Besides that, you have the garden views from the swimming pool with the church. We all loved it and wanna come back!

There's absolutely nothing to complain. I would only warn people sensitive to noise that sometimes during the weekend there's some music in the port area in front of us. That never bothered us, quite the opposite. Music was quite good and it felt like a private show. Plus, the ships park right there as well and some might get upset for "losing" the view, but again that didn't really matter to us.

We arrived earlier than expected but the apartment was ready for us and the lovely girls on reception handed over the keys straight away. The room was much bigger than expected with a view to die for! The property was lovely and quiet, with a great pool that had lots of sunbeds that could easily be moved in and out of the shade for when it all got a bit too hot. There wasn't any information in the room regarding cleaning or towel changes but when we needed the towels to be changed, the ladies did it straight away so I guess it works on a 'ask and you can have it' basis, which suited us fine. Slano is generally quite a sleepy little town, with a few restaurants all serving pretty much the same food, a large(ish) supermarket and a small supermarket. Don't waste your money buying expensive water as the water in the apartment is perfectly safe to drink. One thing to note - in the week that we were there, there were two nights (Thursday and Sunday) where island cruise ships moored outside the apartment (about 10 of them), with everyone getting off and either jumping on buses (presumably to go to Dubrovnik) or staying in the town. They also brought with them a live music group who set up just outside the apartments, and played loud music until 11pm (generally 80's and 90's music). To be fair to them, they did stop at 11pm but people with young children should be aware that this will happen as it was very loud and there was no chance of sleeping through it, but if you wanted to join in then of course it was there for free. Overall we had a lovely stay and cannot recommend the apartments enough - lovely staff, great value for money and Slano is very beautiful to stay in.

We didn't mind the loud music but it could be an issue for some. The lack of restaurants / choice of meals was a bit restrictive, and after a week we had eaten at most of them twice. The supermarkets were expensive but I guess if you go to Croatia you shouldn't be surprised at this, as in general the cost of living is quite high.

Just a beautiful place in the small town of Slano. The apartment has everything that might be needed in everyday life. Fully equipped kitchen corner, a bathroom with shower, bathtub and washing machine. A wonderful terrace the access to which we had directly from our apartment number 8. There are lots of good things to say about this place. And it is definitely worth it to come back again!

I can't say that I really didn't like the following things but they didn't bother me. You just have to know that it is true from other comments that the water temperature in the bathroom is not stable. And during our 5 night stay there were two concerts in the square right in front of the Vila they ended around 11pm. The pillows were not too comfy

Very clear instructions received prior to arrival regarding how to access the building and obtain our apartment keys. Plus, a very efficient response to a query via email regarding how to access parking at the property. The apartment is placed in an excellent location - step out of the front door to a wonderful view of the harbour and bay, and everything was within easy reach/walking distance (beaches, small shops and restaurants). At the rear, the pool is clean and accessible and the grounds, beautifully maintained. Again, the view of the mountains and church were impressive.The apartment was very clean and well equipped, it even had a small dishwasher and washing machine.

The entire stay was excellent. This is not a negative but one thing that would help future visitors, perhaps, is if laundry washing powder or capsules could be purchased at reception, individually. It was great to have use of a machine just to run a quick wash for our towels but we only needed a couple of cycles during our stay.

Everything, the property, the location, the staff. This is our 3rd year in a row staying at Villa Riva, we travel around Croatia & Bosnia for a couple weeks and then we use Villa Riva as a place to chill out for a few days before we fly back to the UK. The staff on site in the mornings can not do enough to ensure your stay is perfect, they are brilliant. This trip we were given a room that we had not had before and unfortunately it did not fit our needs being a ground floor apartment with windows out on to a parking area. We used the contact Whatsapp provided for any issues and within 45 minutes the room issue was sorted and we were moved. Fantastic service. From then on our stay was just as perfect as the other occasions we have stayed at 'Villa Riva'. This property will remain our first choice for the end of all of our trips to Croatia.

Nothing at all, the property, the location, the staff are all perfect.

Fantastic location. Spotlessly clean. We got there 3 hours early just looking to park the car but the room was ready and no problem getting the room keys. Car parking was great. Plenty of sunbeds around the pool. Pool was fantastic. Bus stop next to the hotel and a small trip boat that takes you to Dubrovnik (only on Thursdays). 3 good restaurants all within close walking distance and 3 bar/food places, bakery and small supermarket all close If your late arriving the keys are left for you on the reception desk with the key fob for the car park gate. Do email before hand to let them know that your bringing a car. All very easy

For 2 days when we first arrived there were 4 familys of 4 all together that were around the pool all day and night playing music and drinking. Very load and inconsiderate. Once they had gone quiet and tranquility resumed. Just unlucky I would think

The moment we arrived we knew we had chosen to stay at a very special place! Warm friendly greeting, met with an incredible view leading to our 2 bed ground floor apartment. The view and apartment was even better than I had imagined and the photos do not do it justice! The apartment was a lot bigger than it looks in photos and perfect size for our family, it was clean and spacious with full air con in every room ! Big bouncy pillows and comfortable beds. The pool was beautiful and clean with use of sun-beds all day and evening. The location is 10/10, central to everything, cafes, shops and beaches with a beautiful Marina, We especially love the beach coves to the left past the marina, about a 10 min walk, stunning views!

not a big deal, but a toaster would have been handy so we didnt need to use the grill to toast bread for breakfast.

Villa Riva is a wonderful place in beautiful Slano Bay. The staff were incredibly helpful when we had transport issues. The apartment was spacious and comfortable with everything you need. The grounds are well kept and the pool was great. We loved our stay.

Be aware that it can be very noisy in the evenings as large cruise yachts can dock right in front of the property. One night there were eight. However the window shutters help with noise and it usually stops by 11pm. It didn't spoil our stay.

Everything!😁 Slano is a lovely, peaceful small town and Vila Riva is positioned right on the front overlooking the Adriatic sea. The apartment was perfect for us and the gardens/swimming pool was an added bonus. A 40minute, 3.5euro bus trip into Dubrovnik made Slano a great decision to be away from the very busy City.

Nothing.

We used Villa Riva last year, so when we had friends travelling with us this year, we just knew it was the BEST place to go to. This trip was only for 2 nights, but it was exactly what we all needed after an emotional few days in Mostar. Staff are the best, polite, on time, respectful, ALWAYS ready to help. The rooms and the grounds are immaculately kept. Location is just fantastic.

Every now and then, you can get some large boats staying overnight in the harbour out front, and unfortunately, some of those passengers believe they have the right to party into the early hours. Villa Riva: Could possibly do with a little better lighting around the pool area. There are a couple of high step downs that can not be seen so well at night and take you by surprise when you step off them in the dark. Could potentially be dangerous to someone.
