Riva vacation rentals

Spacious apartment with plenty of room for the whole family. Loved the location on the Piazzo where we had easy access to multiple shops, gelateria, and restaurants just a few steps away. There was a small but well-stocked store just downstairs with wine, bread, cookies, marmalades, cheeses, milk, ground coffee, wine, vegetables and fruits. Larger grocery store was about 10 minutes (hilly) walk (or a short drive). Note that you will need reservations for any restaurant in Biella and on the Piazzo on weekends, especially Saturday night. Appreciated the large kitchen stocked with all of the extras, as we often ate breakfast and lunch there. Laundry facilities were much appreciated with my two small children. Dryer does not fully dry clothes and hanging is required, but there are clotheslines outside the kitchen with clothespins in the kitchen closet. Dryer also requires frequent emptying of a water tank located on upper left of machine. Note that there are multiple small steps in the doorways between rooms, so caution with small children and adults with mobility issues. Beautifully decorated with many fragile objects, so again, consider this with small children. Mine did not bother them thankfully! We unfortunately had a medical emergency while there (unrelated to anything to do with the house), and the ambulance arrived very quickly, with a large hospital only 10 minutes away. Host was incredibly responsive and helpful! We overall had a lovely stay with all of the comforts of home. My children referred to it as their ‘special house.’ ❤️
