My wife and I have been coming back to La Riserva for nearly a decade. On our most recent trip, we met a couple who have been returning for more than 25 years. It’s that kind of place. Family-run, small but attentive staff, comfortable accommodations, great pool, outstanding food. We’ve read several other reviews and most are positive. Some visitors... more

This hotel is a hidden gem with a fantastic view of the sea. Our room was spacious with a long balcony. The narrow winding road up to the hotel is best traveled in a small car, and I wouldn't recommend that a nervous or learning driver attempt it, but it is a small price to pay. The staff were very... more

The view and the stafff alone make up for the difficult drive. When I spotted the hotel on-line, I found the panoramic view of Cote d'Azur captivating. We were not disappointed----as we could see for miles inspite of the haziness the two days we were there. One slightly chilly afternoon, we enjoyed a bottle of wine on the patio as... more

We stayed for 5 nights. The drive up is quite exciting! There's a short and a long one and normal for this area. The views are great, the family room ok. The waiters were lovely and helpfull. We liked the food, although it was not cheap. Had dinners in Ventimiglia and San Remo as well. There was a wedding party... more

We've stayed at La Riserva twice, once in late June 2002 and most recently in late June 2008. It hasn't changed: the staff is wonderful, the interiors are dated, the view is incomparable, the dinners food is expensive, but superb, and of course, the road to La Riserva is exciting. LaRiserva is in a kind of time warp. I wonder... more

This was supposed to be a 'quiet, get away from it all break' for two hard working individuals coinciding with with a special birthday for one of them. Well, after a terrifying drive up the mountains, we arrived at this beautiful location, only unable to get parked even close to the hotel grounds as there was a huge Italian wedding... more

Stayed here with a bunch of family/friends at the beginning of May 2008 and had a great time. The hotel is situated above Ventimiglia, and yes, as other reviewers have pointed out, up a long windy road. Of a party of 9 of us travelling in a minibus, only one person found the journey scary. In my opinion, it's well... more

We had a wonderful time at this hotel. It was scary winding up the street to the hotel but the view was an absolute dream. The food was excellent and the staff was more than competent and very welcoming. They extended their arms to us as if we were their family. Watching the sunset light up france and monte carlo... more

We booked this hotel after seeing lovely pictures online. These were not a good representation of the overall look of the hotel. Our first disappointment was the 4 km drive up horrible windy roads, so narrow that a large oncoming truck was a safety hazard. We were so unwilling to drive down this road again that we decided that we... more
