The hotel is absolutely wonderful, so is the staff. It is located right by the sea in an old monastery. The building itself is magnificent with beautiful art work all over. Giovinazzo is a quiet little place, 20 minutes north of Bari's city center. Easily reached by train or car. The breakfast is superb. Also, there are nice little restaurants in the vicinity of the hotel. A real gem in Puglia!
Hotel Riva Del Sole offers free parking, guest rooms, and apartments. It is set in a quiet area by the Adriatic Sea, surrounded by a natural park near Giovinazzo, Trani and Castel del Monte.

Wonderful small town, ancient buildings, beautiful clear sea. On weekdays there are few tourists; on weekends more people come to the beach. A stunning place for photographers and artists, beautiful views of the sea, cliffs, sunset and 14th-19th century architecture.
There are many different restaurants with local cuisine, seafood, and bars with sea views.

The centro storico is a must see in this town, it's just gorgeous! Be sure to visit in the evening as well, as it's even more beautiful lit up at night. There aren't really any beaches within walking distance, at least not sandy ones, but the lungomare (seaside walkway) is fabulous and affords some great views in both directions. The Neapolitan style pizza at Pizzeria Pitta La Pizza Col Sorriso is not to be missed, and we very much enjoyed two dinners at La Creperia Cinereo Lembo Cafè in the centro storico, at surprisingly affordable prices. Just a word of caution, the pizza place opens at 8:00 pm, not 7:00, and the Creperia at 7:30. Both opening times shown on Google are incorrect. The entire town is very walkable, and I recommend B&B Sant'Agostino for its central location (5 minute walk to train station, easy stroll to the main park, piazza, seaside and centro storico).

The old part of Giovinazzo was fantastic, the criss-cross streets and alleys were easy to get lost in however this was a good thing as we found lots of places we would have missed, especially restaurants. We ate in a different place each day, and wasn't disappointed by any of them. The beaches were all rocks or pebbles, with oil on some pebbles, apparently from shipping? The oil got on our towels, it's not easy to spot as it's on individual pebbles. We had to drive 30 minutes to nearest sandy beach. Overall we had a great time, attributed to the hotel we stayed in. A converted convent. Superb 👌

Nice little town, everything reachable by foot also for the children. Exiting castle to explore including several galleries, bars and restaurants. Many swimming opportunities along the coast line. Most of them rocky with cliffs, not very suitable for small children but there was one sandy beach at the harbor in the heart of the village.

Giovinazzo is only a small town which on the day we arrived (Saturday) was quiet and easy to get around, plenty of cafes around the main square. Easy access to the sea front and a pleasant walk along the promenade.
Good restaurant by the hotel.
Our stay was too short as we had only booked one night as we were due to return home the following day

Really lovely converted convent in the old town just off the lungomare. Comfortable room, great breakfast, and enjoyed the restaurant as well. Definitely recommend. We were there just after Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Great location in the old historical town of Giovinazzo. The property is quite convenient, not lots of space but just what we needed and everything of high quality and contemporary design. The hosts were super friendly and accomodating and went the extra steps to make our stay as pleasurable as possible, and succeeded.
Breakfast was great, and the support with getting our car parked in a secured area overnight was great and a friendly price. Would highly recommend.
The property was very clean, the bed in the big bedroom was very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need. The terrace is very nice and you can sunbathe on the roof unbothered. It’s located in the historical centre of Giovinazzo and it’s very beautiful. The apartment is close to the central station- 10-15min walking. The hosts were lovely and very welcoming- they helped us with everything we needed and let us stay past the check out time for our comfort!
Arrived really late on a cold wet and windy evening after a late flight into Bari. Nothing was too much trouble for the receptionist who made us feel very welcome and made us warm drinks. We had a comfortable night's sleep. The hotel was nice and warm. We had a good breakfast the next day with coffees made to order in a sea view dining room. An excellent stay around would highly recommend to anyone.
Everything!!! This small operation is VERY well run with an excellent breakfast in the mornings. We highly recommend this place if your in this part of Italy. Between the comfortable bed to the pool & jacuzzi to the owners (who are absolutely awesome), we only have great things to say about our stay there.
We really liked the location of this apartment, the beautiful furniture and the atmosphere in it! It was so clean here and very detailed. Claudia helped us perfectly and was just kind and generous. Thank you, Claudia, for a perfect stay in Giovinazzo.
Very cleaned and comfortable room. We stayed only for one night but will definitely come back again for longer stays. The location is perfect, super central, in the old town of Giovinazzo and close to restaurants and bars. Highly recommend!
Mimma the hostess is amazing! Met with us with her family and provided us with an overview of Giovinazzo. Place is in a fantastic location and the beaches. Many restaurants within 2 minutes walk. Thank you Mimma and your family.
Location was perfect for a flight out of Bari airport. Giovinazzo, a charming town, is 5 minutes away with lots of dining options and shopping. Staff was very hospitable and had breakfast to go for our very early flight out.
12 minute walk through beautiful Giovinazzo to the train station, 5 minute walk down to the waterfront and restaurants and 2 minute walk to a supermarket! Great location. Quirky and lovely apartment to have as our base.
I love the area, excellent location, very nice and friendly staff, the best view ever! I love the upper terrace, the rooftop bar, the bistrot. Very nice restaurants around. The hotel is a historical bijoux. I love it!
The location is very good, close to a restaurant with good food and a private beach. The parking attendant was very helpful and friendly, the hotel staff were friendly but not interested in the guests' stay.
Excellent hotel and great folks at the reception! Highly recommended. Parking is not close and you will need to use public parking or private parking which is a bit far. But excellent experience overall.
Lucia was very helpful with recommending places to visit. The room was cleaned regularly with new towels being brought in. If I ever visit Giovinazzo again I will definitely stay here again.
The whole hotel, included rooms look like from an other era, like late 70ties or early 80ies, probably no decoration or furniture was changed since than. Very overpriced for what you get.
Amazing location! Right in historical centre of Giovinazzo. Everything is few minutes from here. We also enjoyed how big our "room" was. Super happy with this.
