I loved the decor and space of the apartment, large comfy beds with premium mattresses! Aircon in all rooms, wonderful balcony, great kitchen just no oven. Only problem was the shower tray often filled up but I presume the drain just needed cleaning! It was a wonderful stay and the hosts were so kind and very helpful. Will definitely be staying here again!

Helpful staff

A very cute hotel, right next to the river and a vibrant plaza where you can watch people with a coffee or ice cream. The staff was exceptional- helping out when we needed, even in the middle of the night! Easy walk to the beach (under 2 miles).

Great place to stay

Really loved our stay here. Hotel was beautiful. Staff very friendly. Pool looked lovely but we didn’t have chance to go in. We parked on a street around 4 mins walk for free. Breakfast was very good too- lots of fresh fruit and toastie options. Definitely would recommend.

A great hotel off season (early December), staff were fantastic, nice breakfast everyday and the hotel was clean and modern. Price of just EUR50 per night B&B for 2 adults is unbeatable....... We stayed in one of the upstairs roof rooms and could hear a little traffic noise, whilst did not bother us might do for people with sensitive hearing. I would highly recommend this hotel and if the traffic noise is an issue select one of the lower level rooms which we know are quiet as we had a friend stay in one of those rooms.

Do not recommend

This is a private Villa with a strange entrance. Busy riverfront. Called. Left message. Could get in. Had police escort me and finally someone answered and let us in. Parking is expensive onsite. Free parking is 800 feet away. No elevators and departure support was terrible. Gal was on personal call the whole time.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A beautiful 2 bedroom (very comfortable beds), 1 bath, kitchen, living/dining room. Loved that there's a washing machine and a lovely balcony to dry the washing or to sit and enjoy each other's company over morning coffee or a cold beer in the eveninng. Loved the closeness to very good restaurants and walking the river. Parking right out the door which must be paid for or one gets ticketed . . . We were not told and therefore did not realize we needed to pay . . . Coming from another country we didn't realize what was needed The only negative was that the drains in both the shower and bathroom sink drain very slowly . . . In fact, the shower stopped draining at all!! No doubt brought on by hair clogs in peatraps for a very long time. The sink drain needs a good cleaning as it smells from the unattended clog. Brought this to the attention of management, so hoping for the next guests the plumbing is working properly.

Très bien

Très bon séjour à la Villa Rio. Attention : villa en étages, sans ascenseur. Possibilité de stationnement gratuitement aux alentours très facilement en avril. Accueil très sympathique. Petit déjeuner buffet extra ! avec de magnifiques pasteis de nata frais tous les matins ; plus pain, oeufs, jambon, fromages, fruits, etc ... Ils avaient même acheté du lait sans lactose pour moi. Cuisine en accès libre en journée, avec thé et café à disposition et possibilité de réchauffer un plat au micro-onde. Situé à proximité immédiate des départs bateau. Bref, très bonne adresse !

We chose this cute guest house at the last minute and could not have been happier!! We had the “blue” room, which was very large, high ceilings and a small balcony facing the street. The room was very clean. Breakfast was perfect too. The area around the hotel is very walkable, with great restaurants and the river walk. I highly recommend this guest house.

Hemos repetido otras veces aunque en est ocasión no ha sido del todo satisfactoria. El alojamiento aunque limpio presentaba signos de poco mantenimiento. La ducha tenia oxido en el desagüe, las paredes estaban como con falta de pintura y el suelo de madera se ve que le hace falta un arreglo. Hay que decir que esta habitación está a la espalda del edificio y no tiene acceso a la piscina tienes que dar toda la vuelta. Otras veces hemos estado mejor.
