La Riva

Great family and friends getaway to enjoy for short or long stay. Outdoor pool forms a great backdrop for winter setting, wish it was warm pool.

An absolutely stunning location with even better hospitality. A beautiful week away full of tranquility. Highly recommend exploring the property to view the beautiful grounds and don’t forget to enjoy sunrise with a coffee by the pool

This Incredible property set on an idyllic hillside location overlooking Jones Bay.Flowers, fruit trees and manicured gardens, surround the property providing a stunning setting to the expansive, yet private space. A large infinity pool is a key feature of the property; the heated water reflects the silhouette of the surrounding trees, which frame the view of the inlet and rolling hills that lie beyond.Moving back inside, the house itself is architecturally stunning and beautifully well appointed. The numerous bedrooms, sitting and dining areas are comfortable and tastefully furnished. Apple-play connected Bose speakers fill the rooms with music, and aroma of a well-cooked meal is never far away, with a fully equipped centrally located kitchen enticing any would be chef.Our hosts were courteous and respectful, paying attention to all the small details and ensuring our stay was as relaxed and enjoyable as we could wish for.Our only disappointment was booking too short a stay. We look forward to our next visit, for the little the slice of paradise that La Riva has to offer.

I had the pleasure of spending the weekend at this fine establishment, drenched in sumptuous luxury from the entrance. A winding drive through beautifully manicured gardens with objet d'art carefully placed throughout to stimulate a curiosity of what might be around the next corner. Charming! The same eye for detail awaits in every facet of this exquisite property. Large rooms filled with big, comfortable beds, luxurious pillows, crisp sheets and multiple living spaces with similarly comfortable and stylish sofas, a kitchen with everything...even a chef as the occasion warrants. Superb views across the heated, infinity pool to the surrounding landscape. Helicopter flights, boat cruises and a sound knowledge of where to go in the area are all possible options when staying at La Riva with these exceptional hosts.

Excellent 5 star accommodation in a relaxing location. Andrea was very attentive to my requests, and as a busy professional & discerning traveller who, during Christmas 22, travelled with my family to LaRiva, we were very satisfied. The venue ticked all our boxes and was a perfect base for me to visit family, recharge, and plan our next part of our summer holiday. Cudos to Andrea & David for having a vision and staying true to its purpose. We will be back.

Think of what you expect from an Airbnb, make it 5 times better. The attention to the details drove me crazyyyy, everything is so well thought out from the heated infinity pool to the garden to the rooms. Omg, that kitchen equipment.... i wanna be the chef of this housee! oh that trouffle oil in the kitchen brought tears to my eyes. The place is suitable for so many different occasions. Vogue better find out about this place and immiediately do a shoot with a star. It is that good in my opinion!Wanna go back as soon as possible. yyaaaas!

We had an excellent time staying at this property. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the two lovely hosts and were pleasantly surprised by how beautiful and spacious this property is. The rooms were clean, and the beds were very comfortable (It’s been a long time since I’ve slept somewhere so well, thank you for that).The second day we did a guided kayaking tour nearby and even saw some dolphins! In the afternoon we booked a helicopter ride with the host’s helicopter tour business which I can highly recommend to anyone staying here.Overall, I had a great experience staying here and can highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

Stayed here for a weekend with friends, absolutely loved it. A big house with plenty of space for a group of people. We especially enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen, the infinity pool, and hanging out in the cosy lounge. The property is surrounded by lush nature and wildlife, making for an unforgettable time. And the library is truly something special. Would stay again.

I stayed here with a group of friends for two nights for a relaxing retreat and all I can say from when we first walked in was “wow wow wow”. The house was massive but cosy and very well appointed with beautiful furniture and all the gadgets you need in the kitchen. The view from the garden and the entrance hall was breath taking. The rose gardens were beautiful to walk through and the big infinity pool was heated. The hosts were also lovely and offered tips about things to see and do nearby. 5/5 would definitely stay again :).

Our Hosts are amazing, they made the booking and planning process so easy.The accommodations are stylish, spacious, comfortable and luxurious. We felt at home and yet spoiled in every room we entered.The grounds are perfectly manicured with the picturesque views, and only the sounds of nature were around us.The Masseuse was prompt, professional and provided a relaxing experience for us to start our weekend.We took the pleasure of having the private chef cooking for us - everything was amazing and high quality.The helicopter tours came to us, and dropped us back again after a glorious scenic tour.We loved everything, highly recommend to anyone looking to recharge and reset, or just get away - with a group or just privately.Loved every moment.
