Description of hotel: La Riva in Taormina

Hotel La Riva is a charming, family-run establishment situated right on the beach in the small seaside resort of Giardini Naxos, the site of the first Greek colony on Sicily. A variety of restaurants, boutique and artisan shops, cafés, bars, and clubs can be found within a short walk from the hotel, and the famous ruins of the Greek colony are also nearby. Guests may wish to relax on the sandy beach, or visit the neighbouring town of Taormina and enjoy outdoor activities in the natural parks surrounding Alcantara Gorge and Mount Etna. The hotel's air-conditioned guest rooms are cosily decorated in traditional style and offer a private balcony with lovely sea views. Guests can enjoy local specialties as well as national dishes al fresco in the rooftop restaurant with sweeping views of the bay. This hotel is the ideal setting for a sunny holiday of sea and sand as well as a weekend city break with a bit of history and culture.
