Our stay at Hotel Rivalmare was simply amazing! Beautiful, well-maintained rooms with a fantastic view directly of the sea, a rich breakfast buffet, and a perfect location in Novigrad with a beautiful beach just a few minutes' walk away. The charming town center is also only a 5-minute walk, yet it’s pleasantly quiet in the evenings when it’s time to sleep. Be sure to try the pan-fried branzino at the hotel’s restaurant, Libecchio — absolutely delicious! We would especially like to thank the kind service manager Pero and his extremely friendly and attentive team. Every special request was fulfilled immediately — it couldn’t have been faster :) Thank you! We truly enjoyed our stay. We warmly recommend this beautiful hotel with its cosy and family-like atmosphere — it far exceeded our expectations.

“Could be the best hotel we have ever stayed in..”
...and we travel a lot. You cannot be closer to the sea than this. Amazing. Small, personal and quiet. We will definitely return again.

“A wonderful boutique hotel — small and cozy.”
Right on the seafront. You fall asleep and wake up to the sound of waves. If you prefer not to keep the windows open, there’s an efficient climate control system in the room. Excellent restaurant. Delicious and hearty meals. Great drinks, wine, and cocktails. Both the bar and kitchen work perfectly. All staff members (without exception) were kind and welcoming. Everyone smiles, greets you every time they see you, and wishes you a good day — it feels genuinely warm. If you're coming by car, be sure to request a parking spot. As far as we understood, the hotel has two parking areas — one right next to the hotel and another a bit farther away. We were lucky to park just a few steps from the entrance. A day before our arrival, someone from the hotel contacted us themselves and asked if we needed parking. The rooms are new, clean, stylish, and very pleasant. Fresh flowers in the room, welcome drinks upon arrival. The bathroom is spacious, with lots of towels and hygiene products. Everything was spotless and beautifully arranged. Huge mirror. Plenty of closet space and hangers. There’s also a minibar and fridge. What you see in the hotel photos is exactly what you get. The breakfast is luxurious. A wide selection, but what impressed us most was how beautifully everything was presented. Big kudos to the chefs! You can also order a freshly made omelet or fried eggs — they’ll bring it right to your table. We often travel with our cat, so we were pleased that pets are easily accommodated here. The pet fee is symbolic — just €10 per night. Food from the restaurant, pet fees, and other extras are simply added to your final bill, which you pay at checkout. Super convenient. Great soundproofing. The hotel was fully booked during our stay, but we didn’t hear a single sound through the walls. With the balcony door closed, the room was completely quiet.
