Apartments Villa Riva

Vila Riva is a clean, spacious building with an ideal setting right on the small harbour with a quiet pool area that has a beautiful Mountain View complete with swifts flying overhead, what’s not to love! We stayed the end of June into July for a week, in apartment 1, that has two bedrooms on the ground floor with easy access to the pool. It’s cool with great adjustable air con, it has a dishwasher (but if you like to wash dishes by hand bring a teatowel) and has all the basics you’d need. The pool area is clean, lovely and cool and for most of the week we had it to ourselves (no 9am sun bed fights to be had here!) The staff are very polite and helpful (they are usually about in the mornings), the company that runs the apartment booked our airport transfers and were very easy to communicate with and helped with the transfers when our flight was diverted for 3 hours due to wind! The Vila is next to a small shop, there’s another supermarket further into the village aswell as a few gift shops and a yummy bakery. Slano has a few good restaurants, including a pizzeria in the grounds of the Admiral Hotel, there’s also two restaurants around the bay to the right in the next village (about a scenic 15 min walk). We’d also recommend the narrow shingle beach past the marina to the left of the bay, beautiful clean waters for snorkelling and swimming….. tip- bring watershoes as it’s stoney underfoot and there’s sea urchins further round on the rocks. The no12 bus goes every few hours into Dubrovnik, we used it twice (hop off two stops before the end for the Old Town) and we enjoyed the local boat trip around the islands that can be booked from outside Vila Riva on the harbour side. We’d really recommend these apartments as they are clean, quiet and a great base to explore this gorgeous area.

Lovely accommodation, our apartment was fantastic, everything we needed and more. Perfect location, very peaceful and easy access by bus to Dubrovnik for a day trip. Reception staff were great, very friendly and helpful, would definitely recommend staying here.

Great property, next to sea and center of small village. Very comfortable and well equipped apartment, nice staff, very well organised, easy check in/out. Privat parking on property, lovely swiming pool. All in all very nice place, worth to try this tranquil spot.

We had a spacious family apartment on the ground floor. Ample private parking. The grounds were well maintained and immaculate as was our apartment. The apartment was well equipped and the beds were comfortable with great air conditioning. One of our bedrooms was overlooking the street which could be rather noisy when cruise ships docked and they had live bands out the front literally opposite our bedroom. Fortunately the music was very entertaining. The apartments are with walking distance of several good beaches and restaurants. The swimming pool isn’t massive but it is kept incredibly clean and is of a high standard. The at the around the pool is very relaxing with views of the church and surrounding hills. I would advise having a car to explore the local area. We would recommended staying here and had a great family holiday with our two children.

We had a fantastic stay here, it was perfect!! Very spacious apartments and beautifully clean. Helpful and welcoming staff and in a lovely location. The pool was beautiful we had it to ourselves on many occasions, a very relaxing and calm atmosphere. I slept on a pull out bed as we went as a family and it was so comfortable!! The air con was so nice to have too and made us comfortable in the hot weather. We loved it here and I hope to come back In the future. The only thing that may be useful is a toaster in the room.

Spotlessly clean apartments with everything you need for your stay. The surroundings are gorgeous and so well maintained. Couldn't fault our stay. Thankyou. Apartments are located 2 doors from a a small shop selling fresh bread and essentials. There are 2 local restaurants and a mini supermarket. Slano it's self is gorgeous, so peaceful and relaxing. Good public transport with buses and we used Ubers which took about 35 minutes to get to Old Town Dubrovnik which was fabulous. Will be back :)
