Pool Villa Riverview
Key selling points: This antique-filled, yet refreshingly contemporary suite comes with its own lush garden, private plunge pool, and open-air roof terrace with river views—private enough to sunbathe in the nude should you wish to.
Standout service: A guest went to the lap pool every day at 6 a.m. and ordered an espresso after his workout, so on the third morning, staff anticipated the request, and delivered an espresso as the guest finished his last lap.
