We landed late and needed a place to stay. It worked out well. Clean rooms a little older but well taken care of. Good location from the airport and reasonably priced , 99. Breakfast was included and had a great selection.

The hotel is dated, a bit faded. But the rooms are very clean and well-equipped. Unfortunately, there's no kettle in the room, but there is a huge flat-screen TV. There's a railway line across the road, which can be a bit noisy at the front of the hotel during the day. The garden is beautiful with plenty of flowers and trees. Seating areas have been created throughout. The breakfast is delicious if you enjoy Italian delicacies. If you prefer a continental breakfast, you'll be a bit disappointed. So, no bacon and beans in tomato sauce. Coffee is freshly made by a barista. There's a private beach with sun loungers by the beautifully clear sea. Ample parking is available, and a rental car is recommended if you want to explore the area. All in all, a great stay.

Beautiful seaside property with a pool and beach. There are two room types, but they're comfortable enough. The staff is always friendly, prompt, and helpful. Unfortunately, prices have risen significantly over the past year. Convenient for its proximity to the airport and Bari.

We're still living it: excellent.
I'm sorry I can't send photos of the garden that can be found online. It's a truly beautiful structure.

Hotel that could use some updating. (50 years old)
The grounds are lush and well-maintained.
Friendly staff.
The breakfast is excellent.
You need a car because the hotel is quite far from everything.
Overall, we had a good stay.

Hotel Riva Del Sole, Giovinazzo: Friendly service, but with room for improvement
The Hotel Riva Del Sole in Giovinazzo welcomes its guests with one undeniable asset: its warm and dedicated staff. Whether at the reception, the parking attendant, the bar, or in housekeeping – the employees are helpful and friendly. The hotel's shuttle service, which offers convenient connections to the airport, deserves special praise.
Unfortunately, the condition of the hotel mars the overall impression. The building, the rooms, and the infrastructure are showing their age – there is a backlog of maintenance.
Right from the start, I noticed the torn awnings (which shade the reception windows). Although our room was generally clean, an unpleasant odor from the bathroom, the source of which we could not determine, bothered us daily.
The hotel's Ristorante Levante left a mixed impression. The ambiance was more reminiscent of a train station concourse (little decor, bare tables, bare windows), while the prices were on par with those of a top-rated restaurant. The quality of the food was mediocre and didn't impress us.
I wouldn't necessarily recommend the Hotel Riva Del Sole for a beach holiday due to its sea access and the sunbathing areas on the beach, some of which consist of concrete surfaces and artificial turf.
Additional comments:
Positive: Friendly and dedicated staff, convenient shuttle service.
Contrary: Outdated infrastructure, maintenance backlog, unpleasant odor in the room, overpriced and mediocre restaurant, unattractive sea access.

Very well-kept facility in a beautiful
location. Andrea Pistacchio and Michele at the beach bar are friendly, kind, and capable of running a bar. David was very rude to me; we had several arguments with him.

5 stars aren't enough! David is the best bartender I've ever met! His passion for drinks is palpable in every glass you try. His magical touch can transform even the simplest of orders into a unique and unforgettable experience. I highly recommend asking for him when you enter the bar! His smile and kindness complete the picture of excellent service. Congratulations, David, keep up the good work!
