Wooden Villa

Great pl;ace to stay - spacious, well-equipped and right next to the sea and Jomas Street.

I spent a Winter break at the Aparthotel Wooden Villa, so I can't speak for what it's like in Summer. But for my needs, it was perfect. Located in a leafy, mostly residential area but within easy access to touristy Jomas Street and the famous beach. The building is a lovingly restored 19th century beauty. English and Russian instructions and communication is readily available, which I greatly appreciated. I stayed in the one-bedroom apar**ent. Room was large, clean and spacious, with lots of work space. Couldn't work the coffee maker, and the mattress was so soft it threw me out of bed twice, but those are my only complaints. It is an apar**ent-style motel. For meals, one must cook for oneself, arrange to have meals delivered, or venture out to the many restaurant choices of Dzintari and Majori. There is also not a 24/7 attendant. Neither of these are problems. I would happily have stayed a full week at the Wooden Villa, and I hope to return.

I spent a Winter break at the Wooden Villa and had a really pleasant and productive experience. The aparthotel is in on a tree-lined, mostly residential section of Dzintari in Jurmala, with easy walking access to the restaurants of Jomas Street and to the famous beach at Majori. The building is beautiful, a lovingly restored 19th century wooden house. The grounds around the gated property seemed spatious and designed for client use, but of course were under snow when I was there. Checking in was exceptionally easy, with instructions in English and Russian and a manager who was competent in both. I rented the one-bedroom option, which was well-maintained, spacious, and had plenty of work space. I could not make the coffee-maker work, and the mattress on the bed was soft as a leaky air mattress, but those are my only complaints about an otherwise perfect visit. It is an aparthotel: the guest must prepare his food in the room's modest kitchen, arrange with the management for delivery, or eat at any of Jomas Street's restaurants (I chose the latter). There is also not onsite management 24/7, though guests have a number to call in emergencies Prices may be higher, and things may be less quiet, during the high season, but I thoroughly enjoyed my Winter stay at the Wooden Villa. I wish I had taken a longer break, and hope to return for another stay.

A beautiful and comfortable property inside and out. Perfectly located by the beach. Staff at reception very friendly and helpful.

Everything was great.

Very clean and nice. Apar**ent was great for family of 4
