Villa Otivar - Rio Verde

Cleanliness and tastefulness of one room’s interior design. Bed might have been more comfortable, but sheets and pillows were great.

Location within village. To get to/from location there is a steep walk only transited by people and bikes. If one is unhealthy or handicapped this is not a place for you. Also there is no elevator. There was no one to greet us. The entry process was very lengthy. If you do not have an Internet connection forget it. Very difficult checkin to obtain an access code to the lockbox for the keys. We almost gave up.

Wow, what an amazing night away we had. The hosts are simply wonderful and so accommodating. They provided us with complimentary wine and snacks and made us feel so at home. The rooms and the villa in general have been impeccably decorated and are lovely and stylish. We will definitely be back. Don't hesitate to book this wonderful place, you'll love every minute!

The owner was superfriendly, welcoming and helpful. The rooms were very nicely decorated, great style. The view from the rooftop terrace awesome. And they were very easy going with our dog! The surroundings are beautiful with great walking opportunities. I'm sure we will come back!

Nothing really. Unfortunately one of the two owners was ill so there was no food service. Can't blame them for that. The mattress was a bit too soft for my taste, but that's very personal.

Villa Otivar is located in a quiet town where you can enjoy a good rest. The room is well decorated, comfortable and the air conditioning is a blessing when it comes to the high temperatures that can be felt in southern Spain

The only downside that could be mentioned is the steep street that one has to climb to reach the main street. Cleaning can be improved

Room was great, and perfect location. Hosts were super nice, and friendly. Really helpful, and great advice on the local area.

A little tricky to find (it's down some winding alleyways) but worth the effort. The very gracious, English speaking host treated us to beers after we had some trouble getting in (much appreciated after a long day of cycling). The acommodations were top-notch, and restaurants and a supermarket were nearby.

Very comfortable with lovely extras provided like luxury shampoo, shower gel.

Bar wasn’t available during our stay

Situation. Appartement petit máis confortable. Excellente literie.

It was a nice room with a modern bathroom. In the center of the village.The entrance was well arranhed with a lock-box. The room had a small fridge.

It was like 100m walk from the parking spot along the main road. Not too far, but very steep. The front door was very narrow. Take your backpack off before entering.

Really lovely hotel extremely comfortable. Beds amazing. All in all highly recommend

I like everything but it’s very hilly and if you’re not a good walker it’s not for you.

David was an exceptional host! Our accommodations were clean, modern, and close to many restaurants.

Leaving.

very good hosts, David and Paula were great! the room is in an interesting village, good experience to be there. the room is clean. there is a beautiful roof terrace, very nice.

the room is small, the balcony is extremely small, but this fits the style in the village.

The owners are very friendly and helpful. We could easily walk around the village from the house. The food was lovely.

Villa Otivar is in a narrow street in the middle of Otivar inaccessible by car but arrival and departure is made very easy by the owner who whisks you from the free parking to the hotel door in his TukTuk. Once inside we found a well thought out comfortable room with a great view over the surrounding hills from the balcony. The whole room was stylish and immaculate and it was a joy to sleep in such a comfortable bed. On the top floor there is a lovely relaxing terrace and small bar area where we took breakfast, which was extensive and generous. We thoroughly enjoyed it! The owners were kind, friendly and attentive preparing delicious food to suit our tastes. Our only disappointment was that we were only able to stay one night! In short there was nothing about Villa Otivar that we did not like - go if you can!

The only thing we would have liked is to have stayed longer.

Villa Otivar is a beautiful building, it has been renovated tastefully in an industrial style & our room was extremely comfortable. Milos rooftop bar is charming. Otivar itself is a friendly village with a few bars & restaurants.

As the owners were away there wasn't breakfast available on Sunday. Also the Tuktuk service was unavailable & we found the steep streets hard going.

Lovely, contemporary rooms in a traditional building. Although the room wasn’t large, the design was really well thought out and we were very comfortable.Javi the barman was exceptional and couldn’t have been more helpful or generous with his time.

A hidden jewel of accommodation in Otivar! The owners are charming, friendly and do everything possible to make you feel welcome and cherished customers. Very well designed and modern. The top terrace has a cosy bar and lovely breakfast area and the breakfast is very good. We hope to return soon.

Beautiful place. Fab decor and ambience. Very tastefully decorated. Owners and staff so so nice and helpful. Dave (the owner) drives customers round the village in his tuktuk because some steep hills. Loved it ?. Definitely recommended.

Sometimes you just find a hidden gem on Booking.com and this was one of them.We got in contact with the host and after agreeing a pickup time did he pick us up with the electric Tuck Tuck and drove us to the accomodation. This was very enjoyable and we loved the 3 minute ride :).After getting a drink at the bar, did he arrange the check-in and even put our luggage in our room. Again fantastic service and a very friendly talkative host. We preferred this a lot more, then all the self-check ins.Once we got in the room, it was spacious and beautiful. The decorations, the walk-in shower, the windows that can fully open, it was our taste.Beside that, everything was clean and comfortable. The host then provided us with details on where to eat and gave advise on what to do in the surroundings.For us everything was perfect! Thank you very much Dave and Paula.If we ever visit Andalusia again, we will definitely stay at Villa Otivar again.

If the tuck tuck dos not work its a steep climb down the hill in to the village.This climb is not recommended for people that have trouble walking.

Great communication from the host. Dave kindly booked lunch and preordered for us at a local restaurant. Dave picked us and our luggage up in a Tuk Tuk. The streets are very narrow and not accessible by car. You will have to leave your car on the Main Street. We were given a warm welcome and a refreshing beer at the lovely rooftop bar. Our room was lovely. Nicely decorated and with everything you need including bathrobes. Great views to the mountains. The bed was super comfy. There is also a kettle with teas and coffees. Plenty of hot water in the bathroom and a great shower. Dave drove us up the hill to the restaurant - El Capricho - in the Tuk Tuk- super fun! The roast chicken with apple was fantastic! In the evening we enjoyed sitting in the bar, where the drinks came with tapas. Try the Mojito. It was scrummy. The host is super friendly and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Villa Otivar or to stay again.
