For two nights we enjoyed this quiet hotel at the beach, close to downtown Cefalu. The breakfast buffet was very good. Lots of fresh fruits, beverages, bread, cold cuts etc. Clean rooms and bathroom. More

What a beautiful hotel with perfect ameneties, friendly staff and right across the street from the soft sand beach of cefalu. We stoped in without reservations mid Sept 2011 and we were given a large and beautifull room with balcony overlooking the magnificent beach. Cant wait to go back and spend time taking in the beauty of Cefalu and the... More

We stayed here in early September 2011, during a 12 day trip around Sicily. Cefalu was the last stop of our trip and most important to me, since my family is from Cefalu and I have never been. I grew up hearing stories about it and wanted to go there my entire life. We picked Riva Del Sole for its... More

We stayed 5N here in a sea view room with balcony. We didn't use the hotel "paying" beach but just turned right from the hotel and went 100m down the steps to the sand. The roof top terrace is a relaxing place but there could be more umbrellas provided as featured in the hotel brochure photos! The staff were helpful... More

We stayed 1 night at this hotel, and wished we could have stayed here longer. Great Location across the street from the ocean, and a 5 minute walk to the historical town center. Very clean and friendly service. Breakfast was served outdoors in their garden. They also have a nice restaurant for lunch or dinner overlooking the ocean. Wi-fi in... More

This hotel is pricey but stayed for a honeymoon (200 € per night). Room are good for a European hotel and the staff is great. Location couldn't be better right across from the beach. Free wifi is a bonus and the breakfast outside is nice. Didn't not eat in the restaurant. Would stay here again but have no knowledge of... More

Warmly received by the reception staff, we were ushered to our sea view room, brightly and tastefully decorated in blue and gold. The hotel is spotlessly maintained. Breakfast is served in an outdoor area, weather permitting and features a lovely variety of fruits. The staff could not have been more accomodating, the air conditioning was perfect and the location was... More

We stayed here for 6 days earlier this month. While we found the room rate (half board) was expensive, we thought it was the ideal hotel for this small resort town. For a 3 star hotel, it is very high end and in the perfect location. The beach is just across the street. Contrary to what I thought, the sunbeds... More

My husband and I just stayed here for one night as we were passing through Cefalu. When we asked if they had availability , a very pleasant employee offered to show us a room and chatted pleasantly to us while he did so without putting any pressure on us to commit . He also kindly helped us with parking and... More

We did not have a reservation but the manager was very accomodating to our family of 7.He gave us two rooms with a family discount that was very substantial. The entire staff was very friendly and attentive. The young manager spoke English and was very helpful. You have access to a private area of the beach area with chairs,umbrellas and... More
