Hotel Riva Del Sole

The three-star seafront address on Via Generale Arimondi, Hotel Riva Del Sole places guests a short walk from San Vito Lo Capo's white-sand beach — one of Sicily's most celebrated stretches of coastline along the Gulf of Castellammare.

Rooms feature tile and marble floors, refrigerators, and private bathrooms with bidets; upper floors are stairs-only, worth noting when booking. A private beach area comes with umbrellas, and the hotel arranges diving, snorkeling, canoeing, and windsurfing directly from the shore. A bar and on-site coffee house handle daytime breaks without leaving the property.

San Vito Lo Capo sits at the northwestern tip of Sicily, 37km from Trapani and its ferry connections to Favignana. The hotel's tour desk organises walks into the Zingaro Nature Reserve, which begins 11km south along the coast.
