Riviera Del Sole Hotel Resort Spa

Just a stone’s throw from its own stretch of sand, the Riviera Del Sole Hotel Resort Spa sits 5 kilometres from Piraino’s old town. The property boasts a dining spot serving both local and international flavours, a lineup of athletic activities, a wellness centre, plus snug apartments and air-conditioned rooms, each opening onto a balcony or courtyard.

Every stay comes with a private washroom and a television, while the apartments—styled with a laid-back Mediterranean vibe—include a compact kitchen and a combined lounge and eating area.

If you go for a rate that covers breakfast, you’ll get a morning spread laid out for you every day.

For those who love to stay active, there’s a football pitch, a tennis court, and beach volleyball to dive into. Prefer to take it easy? Dip into the grown-ups’ or kids’ pools, or soak up the daytime shows and evening events.

The spa is a haven of its own, with a bubbling hot tub, a sauna, a steam room, refreshing sensory showers, and a quiet corner to unwind.

Capo d’Orlando and Gioiosa Marea are each about a ten-minute drive away, and Milazzo—where boats head out to the Aeolian Islands—is 56 kilometres down the road.

Couples especially vibe with the setting, giving it a solid 9.0 rating for two-person getaways.
