Hotel La Riva

Giardini-Naxos


Right on the seafront, next to the tourist office, this unintentionally retro, family-run hotel offers individually decorated rooms with traditional Sicilian furnishings and marvellous inlaid-wood bedsteads. There's nothing flash about the place – the dated TV sets and showers are begging for an upgrade and the rooms could be cleaner – but the place does have character.
