Just returned from a lovely stay at Villa Nicolli. The room. We were actually given a room upgrade to a renovated room, which was lovely, although the bathroom perhaps still hasn't been upgraded as it's in a totally different style. Dinner We were half board, which was handy as it's a bit of a walk out of town and when you're exhausted at the end of a day walking it's nice to just head down for dinner. I wouldn't normally go for half board as I prefer to seek out new places and if the food is bad then you are stuck with it. This wasn't a problem though on the whole as the food was really good quality. You have a choice from 3 starters, 3 primi, 3 mains and 3 desserts. We only managed all 4 courses once though! I've taken a point off as the veggie options were limited and the non veggie often contained crustaceans. But that's a minor point really. Breakfast. Breakfast is the jewel! Absolutely fantastic selection, including fresh from the hive honey that I am missing already! Location. Nicolli is a walk out of town, 10-15 mins, and in a quiet residential area. You are close to some of the bus stops that are useful, but not all. This didn't bother us as we were happy to walk to what we needed, but it is worth knowing about if strolling around the hotel area is something you like to do. Hotel. The hotel and staff are really lovely. The pool and garden areas are really well maintained. The staff can't do enough for you. We went to the south to stay for a couple of nights to explore there, but we found we really missed Nicolli! We LOVE that it's adult only and we LOVED that there was no tacky entertainment in the evening. I would highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing break in Riva and don't mind the walk into the centre.
