residence riva musone - stella marina

A lovely holiday village.

The welcome was an 8 out of 10 for us: the staff were very kind. The village itself is quiet and pleasant, only two minutes from Porto Recanati, and the villas are spacious with furnished gardens. We enjoyed being able to eat outdoors in the evenings. But the buildings feel quite dated. I suspect the electrical system goes back to the 1980s, and some sockets wouldn’t take a phone charger. The beach is an easy five-minute walk, although the lido wasn’t great, with dirty loungers and some that were broken. We expected to find a pool with slides, Malibu Acquapark, beside the beach, but the whole place was in a state of disrepair. There’s potential here, but I don’t think I’d choose it again. 🤷🏼‍♀️

We went in 2017, and my kids still ask to return. The detached villa had a garden and sat back from the road. The furnishings were a little dated, perhaps, but the accommodation was more than adequate. The underpass made getting to the beach convenient. My children love the pool, though it was a paid extra each day. We were there at the end of June, when there wasn’t much happening, including in central Porto Recanati. For a quiet holiday, it’s ideal.

The staff were warm and helpful, and I’m especially grateful to the reception team for sending me the earrings I’d left in a bedroom drawer. They arrived within a few days. The pool has games for different ages, and the beach is close, reached on foot by a private road that’s handy with a stroller or young children. Our two-storey villa had a garden, but it was quite old. The electrical sockets and furniture could do with a check. Thanks again, reception team. Elisabetta R.
