Mine is a review of the pool complex which is open to the public. I have not stayed at the hotel itself. It is evident that a substantial investment has been made to upgrade the original hotel pool into this marvellous complex. Three pools, one of which partially indoors, jacuzzi, saunas, gym, massage, beauty treatments, solarium, and a small café/bar... More

We had a wonderful week together with a couple. They knew it from before and gave it the best recommendation. My wife needed strongly recreation after a serious illness and she got it. Watching Elba in the distance, listening to the sea and the voices, enjoying the sun and the clear water - yes - she recovered and we were... More

The Riva Del Sole was built for Swedish workers in the 1960s - it retains some of the best design features of its past (see the doors in the breakfast room/dining room), but has had a very modern makeover. It has a great beach and pool - and lots of facilities and other things to do for families/kids. However, there... More

Two kilometres or so north of Castiglione delle Pescaia is the Riva del Sole, a resort and spa complex with hotel rooms and self-catering apartments. Dating from the 1960s, it sits within beautiful grounds of evergreen trees and shrubs right on the long, long sandy beach. Hugely popular with Italians, Swedes and Germans, it made a pleasant change to be... More

We stayed in apartment type B and it was plenty of space though not renovated lately. Apartment is functional with kitchen, shower and two bedrooms, small TV and seating inside and outside. The area is quite big and sealed off for traffic so it feels very safe for kids. The beach is very nice and you get two loungers and... More

I've been here twice with my family. We have stayed in the bungalow, so I actually have no idea what the hotel is like. The bungalows are built in the 1950's, but has a pretty fresh look. I think they were renovated a few years ago. The bungalows has two bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom and a fairly large living room.... More

We stayed in the self- catering bungalows on site. Whilst the hotel is 4* I would suggest the self-catering accommodation is 3*. The bungalow was spacious with 2 bedrooms, sitting dining area, kitchen, bathroom and patio area. Our bungalow was a 2 minute walk from the beach which was super. The main hotel, spa area, bars, restaurants and swimming pool... More

We stayed in the self catering bungalow for 1 week in July 2012. On the whole we had a very good holiday. The hotel and self catering apartments/bungalow have a 'village' feel. The self catering facilities are in a pinewood forest, are quiet with the exception of crickets. The majority of the area is pedestrianised, safe and well maintained. The... More

We enjoyed two weeks at the hotel, using it as somewhere to relax and as a base to explore the local area. We opted for a superior room as we were travelling with our 18 month old daughter and thought the extra space would be useful - while we were comfortable, I would not have liked to have been in...
