Absolute gem of a hotel
This was both mine and my friends first time in Sicily so we had no idea what to expect. But what a delightful surprise this hotel was. The staff were all incredibly friendly, super helpful and always went out of their way to make you feel comfortable. We had drinks nearly every night at the beautiful terrace bar which has an amazing view over the ocean and on our last night, we had dinner there as well which was fantastic! There was live music and the food was incredible! The room was lovely. We had two single beds in a room that over looked the bar next door and the ocean so we were very lucky. Being that close to the bar next door was a concern but the noise wasnt bad at all, we slept well every night! Plenty of space in our room, bathroom was nice and plenty of wardrobe space. My only suggestion would be to have some chairs out on the balcony so people can soak in that view!! Would definitely recommend this hotel and would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you!

6/10 Good

It’s a nice hotel that is kept clean. The staff are nice and it’s on the sea front but no actual beach. Breakfast has a good variety but it’s exactly the same everyday so if you are staying for more than two days it’s a bit boring. No parking but we found plenty of street parking or you can pay to park. Water in the room is not complimentary so better to buy your own. Also, no iron! This was frustrating as the ironing service is by the item and costly. It’s quite a sleepy area where everything closes quite early. Centre is around 10/15 mins drive away and it’s nice and lively.
