    Request the buggy service to the pool when you check in. It saves a lot of walking when you're tired after a long day.

    outdoor pool
    mold smell
    poor quality control

    Beautiful outdoor pool with amazing views.

    We were initially given a room that was unbearable. The musty mold smell was overwhelming, and I could see mold on the ceiling. After complaining, we were finally moved to a better room, but the experience left a bad taste in my mouth.

    Hotel was original and absolutely fabulous!

    The room was spacious and it had a mini bar fridge, climate control, and a personal safe. The breakfasts were outstanding and great with including freshly squeezed orange juice, olives plus prosecco and the staff were accommodating, did not rush us...

    scenic views
    dilapidated decor
    poor maintenance

    Beautiful views of Mount Etna, Large outdoor pool, Serene garden areas

    The outdated decor desperately needs a fresh coat of paint!!! Maintenance issues in the bathrooms severely detract from the overall experience. Careful attention to cleanliness in common areas is essential!!!

    Very nice views of Mount Etna from the balcony. The dining area seemed a bit lifeless with no warm atmosphere. Check out the bike tours for some fun around the area.

    lovely pool
    great location
    fun experience
    noisy party

    We had a blast with friends exploring the fine path lined with palm and pine trees that led us to the hotel's lovely pool reserved just . The location is perfect, so close to the local shops and eateries. Do note that the breakfast was nice, but the scrambled eggs left something to be desired. Fantastic stay!

    We experienced a noisy party in the nightclub across the street that went on until 2 a.m. and it was quite disruptive to our sleep. I suggest checking if there are noisy events planned during your stay.
