라 리제르바 디 카스텔 다피오- 샤름 & 릴렉스

My wife and I just stayed at La Riserva in Ventimiglia, Italy and we can’t say enough about how gorgeous the view is and how accommodating the staff was. Both are amazing and well worth it. I think every room has an incredible view of the Mediterranean Sea you will never forget. This friendly, family owned and operated hotel is run beautifully and efficiently. The owner came and picked us up and dropped us off in town more than once because taxi service was limited because of some events going on. This isn’t part of the booking but just him being kind so we didn’t have to wait. We took the train from Nice, France to Ventimiglia and then took a taxi back to Nice. I’d suggest doing that the other way around so you can be taken directly to the property after traveling. Getting taxis can be challenging at certain times. The train was easy and very cheap. Under $10 per person that took around and hour from Nice airport. I paid online. You have to take your luggage about a block from airport to catch train. Again, I would take a car next time to avoid that and the transfer in Ventimiglia. Please stay at this property! We had a very nice suite with 3 outdoor terraces you could sit and drink their delicious cappuccino! The restaurant is very nice and delicious also with that amazing view. They even accommodated our vegetarian diet by adding items to the menu for us the second night we ate there because they remembered. Breakfast is included and delicious. Bravo! Highly recommend. Grazie!

We have been here a few times over the past 10 years and we’re very disappointed. The food has gone down hill and so has the service and property. It is clear they are not re-investing their money to maintain a nice quality. The beds are very hard, staff was not very friendly except for the owner and his daughter. The main things that would bring us back for 1 night would be the spectacular view and the pool is nice.
